this administration

It’s incredibly high quality journalism. I’m so proud of my fellow countrymen for supporting it directly. I listen to it daily - multiple times throughout the day. I’ve donated once or twice, but I need to reduce my debt before I’m comfortable signing up for a monthly commitment.

Schadenfreude is a shit consolation prize.

I mean, I’ll take it, but it’s still shit.

Don’t be a sucker. I’ll continue not playing any sports for $999B

Bummer

I fully acknowledge your point and don’t disagree. On the other hand, who ever said we have to treat Nazis reasonably?

Yeah, but then he came back from the dead, became an instant celebrity, struck it rich from crypto, and had like 4 yachts for each of his girlfriends. Don’t you read the bibble?

How do you know?

I read this article and I know it’s written in English, but I’ve accepted defeat in trying to understand it.

I write code for a living and I’m doing my best to ignore the feelings of inadequacy I’m currently experiencing.

Will be interesting to see if it works out for them like it did for Target. There’s a growing list of companies that progressive Americans will no longer support. B&J could easily join that list.

A dead’ne?

This is what makes Musk’s B-line towards Nazi stardom so strange to me. Like, did he think Nazis were suddenly going to start buying electric cars? They literally put nuts on their trucks right next to their bumper stickers using homosexual slurs to describe electric vehicles, all while “rolling coal” in front of every Tesla they see on the road.

These are the people you want to market to?
And at the expense of your existing market?

Dude’s living in Model S days

Trump media stock was fun to watch too up until he won. I mean it’s still going to crash and burn, but the election bought him some time.

No no no - only paywalled, ad-supported, doomsday prep and gold bullion-slinging, enshittified news outlets are “free press”. Honestly, if you’re not creating value for shareholders, can you even consider yourself a journalist?

I heard recently that the word “meritocracy” was originally coined to mean the opposite of how you’re using it. As a sort of ironic codeword where there shouldn’t have to be a word because that’s how it is supposed to work. As in - when the CEO’s son gets a VP job right out of high school, chalk it up to “meritocracy”.

Not disagreeing with your sentiment, I just thought that was interesting. Enjoy your day!

It’s possible you’ll read articles critical of those decisions written by the WSJ. They’re likely to be written in such a way as to not criticize Trump directly, but the message will likely be clear: government and taxes=bad.

This has actually always been the case. Iirc, AWS was the only profitable piece of Amazon for years. The retail and consumer services arms will never catch up.

Ugh but then I’d have to use Facebook
