A few weeks ago, X’s director of engineering, Haofei Wang, said the upcoming change is meant to protect users’ public image — because “many people feel discouraged” to like “edgy” content.

Oh my god, he’s trying to make it Reddit.

Yeah, okay buddy. I suppose next you’re gonna tell me climate change is real, huh?

He looks like if Peter Dinklage had a baby with John Krasinski

This is what we get for conflating a persons talent and ability with their net worth

Thanks! I loved the flow.

And I agree. Ups do not require downs. Just the opposite, in my experience. One person’s “up” can, and often do, lift the others around them.

That was a whole lot of assumptions about me. That, with the emotional language being used tells me that this interaction isn’t going anywhere useful or productive, so I’mma go ahead and step out.

It reads to me like you think these companies are entitled to a user base. They aren’t. Just because it costs money to run a service, it does not mean we have to accept the price they charge or the anti consumer practices.

I had a family member like this… They’d go off about how awful capitalism is, and the shit that goes with it (to which I’d generally agree) but have a house full of google home devices, brag about how much they buy on amazon, and simp for the giant megacorp for which they worked a retail job…

We had a whole documentary about this…

They can’t take my hard drives…

Red pill. My dumbass thinks I could “fix” the people that fucked up my childhood with the knowledge I have now

But muh States’ Rights!

One person can do both. Plenty of min. wage workers (Looking at you Walmart and Amazon) rely on welfare to survive month to month.

While likely talking out of both sides of their mouths on this issue, they’re also fine that minimum wage isn’t a living wage.

My brain is a shortcut finding machine. I’d be doing the shitty jobs while trying to figure out ways to do them easier/more efficiently.

In my off time I’d be a tinkerer and a storyteller.
