The thing that throws me down about this entire process of rebranding Twitter and how it's being done piecemeal shows that he definitely probably went public with his idea before anyone in the company heard of it, only to then pressure people to do it asap. In a sane situation, no one would have heard of it until the very last moment everything was ready to switch to an entirely re-designed interface with new logos and all the web addresses secured. Such a horrible, entertaining, poo poo show. As Gavin Belson says: "Good, do that, and beat them to market!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnDk8BcqoR0

Its one of his Trumpiest acts, announcing a major policy change on Twitter and then watching as everyone working for him scrambles to interpret and implement it.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:Half-true; above a certain point, you don't get more happy - but the break-point for that is about $75k/year. I'm sure there's a very definite declining marginal utility from money, but bullshit that it's at 75k. At the very minimum, having enough money to no longer have to work (unless you want to), being able to dedicate your time to whatever holds your interest. I don't need to be Bezos rich, but I'm sure I'd be happier living off the dividends of 20 million or so.

Pushing the happiness wage threshold to $500k is a futile attempt to keep it inclusive of boom town tech bros, who in reality aren't miserable because they're poor but because they're the world's most easily conned burgher elite

I could see 300k though for example. That's a funny part of the situation; is it happiness on a day to day level? Or is it happiness, plus meeting all of the milestones that are expected of a human being in first world society, because those are very, very different hurdles... Vlaphor posted:I'll be honest, I am kind of curious about what rich-man's weed is like. It sucks because you can only take a few puffs of it before you get wrecked honestly. Bring back mids dude I want to smoke a loving joint not barely puff off part of one before putting it back in the bag. Also weed is cool but half of the fun is that it was hard to get. We just have unlimited top quality weed for anyone who comes over (like literally send anyone who asks home with a half ounce or whatever) and the enjoyment is pretty much gone, just like anything that humans can easily receive, their baseline adjusts. The most fun weed ever was, was when you had to meet someone in a parking lot and pay $20 for some trash weed after school. The unattainability was most of the appeal honestly. This applies to everything; it's all relative and human beings can get used to, and therefore suck the fun out of, basically anything no matter how insane it sounds in theory.

The study didn't say you NEEDED $500k to be happy, it said you will continue to increase your happiness levels by increasing your income UNTIL you get to $500k, at which point it no longer makes a difference.

This whole everything-app idea is so loving antiquated. It's an OCD amphetamine dream. People moved to online apps because the effort to meatspace banking vs. app banking was immense. The effort to switch apps is so ridiculously low there's no selling point there. It's the mayostard strategy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRntutn8udw EVEN if that's an attractive option, who in their right mind would tie their life to a single app owned by a private company whose owner who will gently caress with his users when he's annoyed by them?

I bet it's pretty dece, given how you can basically get your flav-o-weed hand-delivered to your doorstep with enough money, but like Notch, Musk has trust issues and will turn down Snoop weed, and turning down Snoop weed is some self-fuckling on a grand scale.

It should feel as mundane as buying a 6-pack because it is literally medicine for some folks and being treated like a criminal for it is decidedly not fun.

I could see 300k though for example. There is literally nothing enjoyable about wanting to smoke and joint and not being able because it’s illegal and your dealer isn’t answering their phone. Literally nothing enjoyable. Finding weed loving sucked rear end and no one goes back to street weed once they have a store.

Instead of going to the store to buy a six pack, you could text your dealer and wait for an unknown amount of time and then he could roll up with a pack of six completely blank silver cans for you to drink. So much fun!

This. It also admitted an outlier class where, usually due to some dominating issue like depression or some terminal illness in the family, those people stopped seeing gains at 100k. So that gives you a rough basis of how miserable not having money makes you: under 100k a year is bad enough that people going through that poo poo are still being hurt by poverty. Good thing that number isn't neatly double the average American salary!

The gold check (now a square/box?) thing is real funny when you try to make an ad on Twitter too… This absolute president of a chud I work with was all hot and bothered about “the new Twitter ads are so amazing! Elon made them great again!” or whatever the gently caress, so we went and put a small budget into it. It took 3 days of loving with it to figure out that you have to have a checkmark account to run ads. This notice was buried inside multiple pages that either dont load, or load a weird/incorrect thing (looking at you, shopping catalog.) When you figure this out and go to pay, you’re prompted with a screen that I wish I had screenshotted. It gives you 2 options: twitter blue for $8/mo “for personal users”, or twatter gold for $1000/mo “for companies”. This led to entire discussions about which we needed, as there’s seemingly no actual info outside of that popup. Were we really about to toss twitter $1k just to *try* some ads? No loving way lol. We settled on trying the $8 and hoping for the best… turns out you just need a bluecheck to run ads. The other $992 is an optional “I love billionaires” token payment to Melon. Anyway, the entire budget was a waste, produced no leads or sales, and I’ve cancelled the budget and the bluecheck after getting enough proof to laugh at the chud.
