Archonex posted:I wonder though, are they even paying a company like that anymore? Elon's so desperate to recoup his losses that I have to wonder if they even have a liaison or something to the company assigned. Never mind fulfilling contractual obligations. The tell is failing to pay rent on MULTIPLE Twitter HQ buildings IMO. If those bills aren't getting paid, neither are others most likely. Also whoever dealt with the company that would normally keep the Twitter.com domain safeguarded was probably out the door months ago, along with anyone close to them in Twitter's hierarchy that had enough understanding to say "Hey, we gotta renew the domain soon." I don't expect the domain to lapse, but goddamn do I want it to. If only to see who grabs it first and see what they do with it.

Roblo posted:In other news that Hyundai looks so much better than a Tesla. Christ. I'm amazed at how far both Hyundai and fuckin Kia have come. I worked in a Kia dealership in 2008, if you'd told me then that in 2023 I'd be wishing I had the scratch to buy a Kia Telluride because I think it's the most practical vehicle for having 2 kids and living up serious nasty dirt roads and sometimes needing to haul big poo poo. If you offered me a base Telluride or the high end* of newish Subaru 3-row thing for free, I am pretty sure I'd go with the Telluride unless I wasn't prohibited from selling the subaru for a telluride and keeping the difference. * I just mean the high end of the normal model, not the limited turbo ones. If they're doing those, yeah, I'd take that, vrmmm pshsssshshs

Blue can only be blocked by blue unless you're royal blue, like Elon. Then you can't be blocked.

Seems like there's a campaign to drum up support for Tesla's stock price, especially on FB I keep getting ads for "Tesla is the underdog invest of the year" and "Bull investors think Tesla is still worth investing in."MrQwerty posted:Hyundai Motor Group makes really good cars. Yeah, Hyundai has a history of success and understanding how to make cars. I'm also seeing a lot of FB ads around "Why I'm investing and betting on Tesla instead of Ford and VW for EVs." Its obvious its all an attempt to drum up value.

What they really want is “freedom from consequences” If I could have one superpower that would be it, complete freedom from consequences. Either that or complete mastery of time, space, matter, and energy. I think the former kind of folds into the latter, though.

People who yearn for the OG free speech days of being able to stand on a box in "speakers corner" in Hyde park and give lectures to the people, forget that the people were able to throw a staggering variety of poo poo at them if they didn't like what they said, and in extreme cases wait outside the gates to lynch them.

godaddy had some regressive poo poo for a while before giving them the boot. So Musk will go to them. oh and then those other pro regressive hosting services. Also Musk, having written code in the 90s is a supa coder and definitely isnt going from surface level commercials of GD or some other stuff.

If my bosses at the large multinational corporation I software develop for routinely insisted I work not only weekends, but "long days" over the weekends, I would quit on the spot. In the couple of years I've been here, I have worked overtime maybe two times, and have seen someone get asked to work over the weekend once, and they were then immediately told to take two days off when the panic had passed. I feel extremely bad for the people who can't do that due to visa reasons or whatever, but jesus loving christ at this loving shame golem acting like it's somehow great or admirable that he keeps his poor staff at the office seven days a week, working on crucial problems like "my tweets aren't getting as many likes as I want".
