As you know people, as you learn about things, you realize that these generalizations we have are, virtually to a generalization, false. Well, except for this one, as it turns out. What you think of Oracle, is even truer than you think it is. There has been no entity in human history with less complexity or nuance to it than Oracle. And I gotta say, as someone who has seen that complexity for my entire life, it's very hard to get used to that idea. It's like, 'surely this is more complicated!' but it's like: Wow, this is really simple! This company is very straightforward, in its defense. This company is about one man, his alter-ego, and what he wants to inflict upon humanity -- that's it! ...Ship mediocrity, inflict misery, lie our asses off, screw our customers, and make a whole shitload of money. Yeah... you talk to Oracle, it's like, 'no, we don't loving make dreams happen -- we make money!' ...You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a poo poo about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don't fall into that trap about Oracle.

I find that deeply offensive. But at the end of the day, I don’t believe that our platform should take that down because I think there are things that different people get wrong. I don’t think that they’re intentionally getting it wrong, but I think- It’s hard to impugn intent and to understand the intent. I just think, as abhorrent as some of those examples are, I think the reality is also that I get things wrong when I speak publicly. I’m sure you do. I’m sure a lot of leaders and public figures we respect do too, and I just don’t think that it is the right thing to say, “We’re going to take someone off the platform if they get things wrong, even multiple times.” What we will do is we’ll say, “Okay, you have your page, and if you’re not trying to organize harm against someone, or attacking someone, then you can put up that content on your page, even if people might disagree with it or find it offensive.” But that doesn’t mean that we have a responsibility to make it widely distributed in News Feed. what a visionary!

Perplx posted:so are you saying I should work for oracle? it depends on the organization but oracle is a pretty cushy gig thats almost impossible to get fired from. for example: i got re-org'd from under one manager, to another manager. this guy didnt talk to me for an entire month. when he does contact me, he says he got put on another team, so i would have another new manager. the new guy is in the UK and doesn't talk to me once for a three month period. i literally did nothing for months. i was working from home too so i'd just play video games/shitpost all day. and when i was quitting they were doing another re-org to move some of the 'classic' public cloud staff to the 'new' public cloud for the 3 years i worked at oracle i was engaged in some kind of actual, designated work for like 1/3rd of the time

oracle's giving up the ghost doing cloud poo poo in seattle and i've seen a whole bunch of resumes cross my desk lately. they poached a poo poo tonne of folks from fuzzywife's old team at amazon a few years back, mostly off of gross overcompensation as far as i could tell cuz i've never heard anyone say they enjoyed working there.

Marry/gently caress/kill: zuck, bezos, musk? You have to stay married to your choice through their and your natural life and you have to do any sex things they request if you choose them to gently caress

in that order because zuck is a reliable robot bezos is a weird beef man with bland taste in his affairs so you know hes not going too weird and musk is musk

gently caress zuck because he's a small plastic wimp and it would be easiest to get over with marry bezos because all he cares about is conquering the world so he'd probably just give me an amex black card and never speak to me again kill musk because he's probably a gross sexual pervert and whines a lot whenever he gets in trouble for his tweets

gently caress: Sex w/ Musk's rocket. He probs made a sex robot by now given how good he is at tech. Gonna have sex w/ that. It has the juiciest boobs and cooks and cleans for u. Makes even the primo ladies obsolete. Marry: Marry Bezos for that sweet divorce money one week later. Half his money for a one week time investment is a steal of a deal. Kill: Flip zucks power switch.

I'd insist on reversing the order and then kill myself before I have to gently caress or marry any of those douchebags.
