Boy, I wonder what kind of "widely diverse viewpoints" he's going to include on that council

I hereby volunteer to be IK for Twitter.

I cannot promise to be fair, I cannot promise to be effective, but I can promise to be power mad,

Looking forward to when Elon buys an airline and immediately suggests that they make the whole plane out of the black box material

"Welcome aboard MuskAir, where we live by the words 'Go Fast and Break Things' - in lieu of a safety briefing, please enjoy this video on the life of our founder, and world's specialest boy, Elon Musk. We'll be in the air in a couple seconds because waiting for take off clearance is job-killing regulation."

Last time I got laid off was on Halloween, and I gotta say, even if it's loving Arbor Day, bosses who lay off workers on a holiday should be made to eat sidewalk chalk.

God, I might not have minded if they did that - it was just a regular rear end "we're really sorry, but we have to downsize" bullshit and when I left the conference room someone was at the front desk with my stuff in a box.

Relatively recent? A few weeks ago he posted how he used to vote Democrat, but they are too extreme so time to start goosestepping.

LOL if you believe he ever voted for a democrat.

Hell, he's probably never voted because he has better means of getting the government to do what he wants.

How's this:

The person who picks the correct date of when Twitter dies (or closest to) gets a free av change/upgrade

I'll take submissions for the next week or so, unless Twitter folds before then and then uh... I guess no one wins?

May 5, 2023. Either Twitter dies, or Elon does in a "Mysterious" Starship accident, Tesla accident, or hotel bathtub and chainsaw accident.

I won't be happy until we go back to IRC. Remember how you could click the mIRC logo in the About screen and the dot over the letter "i" would bounce. Good times.

There aren't enough easter eggs in programs anymore.


edit: That dude's last name is Sacks. lol

Man the greatest day when I worked for a poo poo company supporting their pharmacy software was when we discovered that if you clicked an apparent blank space in said pharmacy software, a tiny tic-tac-toe window would pop up.

The second greatest day was when we discovered that if you were using another piece of software and clicked Help, there was a menu item called "Me pass the time" that would launch a Tetris game.

w.r.t. nudes on twitter, before the buyout they floated the idea of becoming an onlyfans competitor and shelved the idea because it's a liability nightmare if they profit from underage or stolen material

dusting off these plans and shipping it regardless of the risks sounds like something musk would do, what's the worst that could happen if they end up selling CSAM

That sounds like a feature and not a bug for Elon

So, uh

This is a good time to remind everyone that everything Elon does he does for Mars. He didn't buy Twitter out of some free speech altruism and he isn't tanking it out of spite, he truly believes he needs to fix it so he can leverage it as his Mars base newsgroup because the future is catturd poo poo posting about the mars slaves.

He's too much of a piss bitch to take one of his rockets on a suborbital hop, there's no way that shithead is going to Mars

Elon definitely would have been better off if he'd been raised to understand acting for the good of the pack and also the corrective power of sharp teeth on the scruff of one's neck.

Also maybe he would have died getting kicked in the head by a buffalo or deer.

Absofrigginlutely. If someone at work is always going on about how hard they're working and staying late etc etc I want to avoid them as much as I possibly can!

Our networking dude complained the other day about a time when he spent three days with no sleep fixing the network. I dunno when this was because the network is still poo poo and he's prone to self-aggrandizing, but I hope it's true because he's also a piece of poo poo and maybe this job will kill him and put the network out of his misery and it can finally get fixed.

Lol actual positive case for burnout in this case

This is a dude who a couple weeks ago came into our area to rant about the Clinton Administration for about 20 minutes, then tried to convince us to put in overtime for a network upgrade so he could stay home.

Our boss told him to gently caress off after network guy said we'd need to be here at 9 PM.
