I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
Everyone should delete their accounts.

I think Taylor Swift is having some kind of unbelievably major media PR push right now because I have never expressed even the most borderline interest in her but she is coming up all over everything all of a sudden.

She’s one of if not the best selling artist of the 21st Century and has had at least 2 world leaders this year be die-hard fans of hers (Chiles boric and Truss lol) and currently had her fans crash the live music monopoly’s website so hard it got the feds involved. I don’t know why you’re acting like she’s a small time player whose just now made it big

I mean someone could just prop it up but if their income has fallen this far then lol, especially once poo poo crashes and Elon has to make the call on letting that poo poo just stay crashed or paying out the nose to get the people who know how to fix it to come back in as contractors.

Lolling at the thought of Elon being up there awkwardly mumbling his way through a debate. That'll apparently win you tech nerds, but he'd be eaten alive by anyone with a quarter of Trump's loud confidence. So I guess what I'm saying is, bend the rules and let him in

All that would need to happen is an ad with Jim Parsons as Sheldon going over why musk is such a phony genius and his stans would abandon him for their true god sheldon.

Property was their religion
A church for one
So some twitter software engineers created a system that basically runs itself without issues and got paid to chill all day. Big-brain elon comes along and fires them because they aren't working hardcore enough for Musky. Those 'lazy' software engineers are gone now and everything is fine until it isn't fine.

My experience running an operation with an understaffed skeleton crew for far too long is conditions will never improve so long as things continue to hobble on. Then poo poo hits the fan and changes happen only after it's too late. There is no pulling up. Clients/customers switch to competing services and they don't come back because being reliable matters a lot to people. If there is a contracted term that keeps the company in business then that contract will be voided because they hosed up badly enough. Your clients and your remaining employees are gonna walk out the door and never look back. You can't hire fresh people that understand your systems overnight.

There is no 'too big to fail' and your company can always gently caress badly enough.

I’m my experience, tech customers are fickle as gently caress - especially the big boys like DT, AT&T and Comcast. They will absolutely drop your rear end like a bad habit the moment you don’t dot all of the I’s and cross all of the t’s in whatever arcane reporting system they have set up for vendors. Have fun managing that with a skeleton crew that has no working relationship with those organizations. You need these relationships to manage and maintain your mobile app and bandwidth.

If you fail the cursory stuff, then they will demand to send in external ISO/TL9000 auditors and gooooood loving luck if you hit that stage because those are some of the most unhappy, crusty people I’ve ever met and they LIVE to put vendors on closely monitored corrective action plans that result in meetings on top of meetings

iirc faked tweets used to be something that twitter came down hard on (its what got Milo Yiannopolis banned) but since its in full purge rules mode now expect more of them.

a ton of people are stupid as gently caress with their own personal banking and finances and dont know how to not rack up or cancel auto renewing monthly expenses.

hell there's a fin tech app where you give it access to your other banking and fin tech apps and then it will analyze your monthly expenses and tell you which ones to cancel.
