Oh no how unfortunate.


Cu[ln]t.




With crypto and NFTs and metaverses?
Mark really has his finger on the pulse of what people want.


He is quite fond of black bulls.


Oh no how unfortunate.


Take it out of the ballroom budget.


Ridiculous.
We all know Biden shat Donald’s pants.


“Bro, what’s going on? This doesn’t make sense!”


“Bro, what’s going on? This doesn’t make sense!”
“Private statement not directed at them” — the characters are in public, making misandrist comments about the people who respond.
And it’s an obvious allegory for public online posts.
Yet again, flip the genders. If men make misogynistic comments in public, should they be immune from even the slightest pushback?
No. Sexism is bad regardless of who is doing the sexism, who they’re saying it to, or who can hear it.
But the OP is rage bait and a lazy Kafka trap, so I won’t feed the trolls any further. You’re welcome to have the last word.
The comic is about fragile egos. So is my story.
Back in college a roommate’s girlfriend came over and cooked for us out of the blue. It wasn’t great and she scratched my other roommate’s brand new Teflon cookware with metal utensils.
We politely said it was good and thanked her.
Half an hour later, roommate #1 was berating us because his girlfriend was in tears because roommate #2 and I were insufficiently effusive in our praise of her cooking.


Surveillance.


A founder-engineer driven company. Facebook is one of the few Big Tech firms whose founder is an engineer, and still is the CEO. Netflix is the other one where founder and co-CEO Reed Hastings was also a software engineer before starting the company. Amazon was the other example of this until recently, but it’s not the case at Google or Apple. There are good examples of smaller companies like Cloudflare, but they’re all younger than Facebook.
Jeff Bezos was a Wall Street douche. He didn’t care about the internet or even books — he wanted data. He figured smart people like to read, and a web-based book seller was the easiest way to get data on smart people.
Not an engineer.
Apple was founded by the two Steves. One a brilliant electrical engineer and the other had some engineering skill. Their entire purpose, initially, was to build the PCBs from the schematics they’d been giving away to others in their proto-makerspace.
Engineers.
Google was started by Stanford engineers.
Zuck is an engineering drop-out. I doubt he’s written a line of code in a decade.
Is the author trying to be wrong about everything?
No.
