The Tesla VP who questioned you during the Thailand... kerfuffle has been leading your special mini sub punishment project since 2018 and his team have produced 246 mini subs... ELON: Terrific. We're going to donate them to the Ukrainians. AIDE: Terrific idea, sir. ELON: Also, they probably need more explosives for the war effort. To save time and money, let's load the mini subs with dynamite provided by Boring CO. Two birds with one stone! AIDE: Sir... ELON: That region is dangerous, so I don't want to risk human lives by doing land deliveries. Hmmmm... oh! I know! We can air drop the subs! AIDE: Uh... ELON: We'll not share the locations we're dropping the subs at with the Ukrainians, so the Russians can't intercept the message and get to the subs first. AIDE:.... ELON: But we'll drop them in heavily populated city centers, so that they're easy to find. AIDE: Sir... ELON: That'll wipe the holier than thou look off Zelensky's face... AIDE: Sir. ELON: Smug son of a bitch. AIDE: SIR! ELON: WHAT? What? AIDE: I don't know if you realize it, but you are essentially... ahem, planning to bomb the Ukraine. ELON:... AIDE: Sir? ELON... you're fired. AIDE: I'm sorry, what? ELON: YOU'RE FIRED! EVERYONE ON THIS FLOOR IS FIRED! I'M SAVING MONEY! IT'S GOOD THAT IM DOING THIS!

learnincurve posted:One of the big talking points in the disability community right now is "am I disabled because I only have one leg or am I disabled because this building has no lifts/elevators" and the people leading the charge on this are young adults with Down syndrome - these young people are absolutely something else, and it's because of them we are seeing the rise of venues for disabled people only, like youth and night clubs, which are run and owned by disabled people themselves. No, you are disabled and you have disadvantages because of it. Even if you ignore reality, it is still there. This kind of movement just sounds really stupid and disconnected from reality. On topic: I didnt expect twitter to last this long, it is running fine if you consider the minimal (but hardcore) workforce. AutismVaccine fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Dec 7, 2022 |

Drone_Fragger posted:Which also explains why twitter deleted them, its a huge invasion of privacy particularly with hacked materials which could open them up to a huge amount of trouble if they tried to claim it was public interest that hunter bidens hog be posted. Revenge porn is also illegal in California so it would have been unlawful for Twitter, which is headquartered there, to leave those posts up.

In all probability Musk is asking his personal attorney and not consulting the tattered remnants of Twitter's legal department. And since they don't code or interact with the infrastructure they're completely beneath his notice. Remember Musk thinks all of Twitter's problems are technical, and people-facing positions are a burden.

I'm kind of wondering: how is Twitter surviving the World Cup if most of the people who kept poo poo working are gone? I really dislike the notion that this rear end in a top hat will get validated in firing all those people when it turns out the site is indeed trucking along fine at a time of a massive amount of activity between the stupid "PATRIOTS, HIS LAPTOP IS REAL" stunt and the normies posting about the World Cup.

AutismVaccine posted:No, you are disabled and you have disadvantages because of it. Even if you ignore reality, it is still there. This kind of movement just sounds really stupid and disconnected from reality. As a person who has a lifelong physical disability, I think I can provide some further insight into where this movement comes from. It is an attempt to reframe disability as a problem with the environment failing to suit the individual, as opposed to the disabled individual being unsuited for their environment. It takes the focus off of the person's inabilities (along with some of the stigma) and shifts the discussion onto the spaces that we create, and how we can better engineer them to suit everyone's needs. This is partly because the disability label comes with a ton of negative pre- and misconceptions attached with it, and some wish to avoid these by shifting the focus of discussion away from individuals. We don't want to be thought of and treated as deficient or lesser due to our additional needs. Personally, I view my disability as a net negative, but I can also see the value in externalizing the narrative to a social, systemic problem that focuses less on the individual.

Anyway, to the tinfoil hat people, this is a smoking gun of FBI interference. poo poo is crazy. Still begs the question as to why Elon, boy genius, somehow didn't fire him when he was cutting 1,000s of non-hardcore non-coders. (Yes I know these people will just make up some bullshit) Edit: MrQwerty posted:He fired him yesterday for doing due diligence (his job) on the poo poo Elon sent to Taibbi without his approval (because it was his job) and recommended to not go forward Of course, but in the current narrative that Baker was some sort of active agent/mole trying to provide cover for the Dems/Bidens versus the reality (doing his job of having Twitter not getting sued for having nudes posted without consent) it makes Elon look super dumb.

massive spider posted:the tweet I saw just said 'Biden team' and its not clear if it was coming from outside or inside twitter. from context, it is pretty clear that it was an internal twitter team Consider: This wasn't any tweet picked at random, it was their big bombshell, selected purely because it was kind of ambiguous when removed from context. If there existed any indication that there were anyone working for the Biden campaign and directly involved with twitter moderation, they would have shared that instead. That they didn't tells you exactly what they had, and it was nothing.

It's currently not loading images for me. I've gotten a few hiccups in the last two weeks that I've never seen before. But I don't think we're likely to see some sort of sudden and dramatic technical failure. It's not like they were shoveling code into the code engine or something. Just slowly degrading quality and lack of new features.
