Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

For actually-good tech, you want our NotAwfulTech community

I am an anti-corpo leftists of Lemmy. I'd like to point out one thing.

We are sure Google will just evaporate tomorrow.

As a fellow leftist, I don't think it will happen on the week end, give it 'till Monday.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

this is leftist infighting between Mondayists and Tomorrow-Evaporists and I won’t allow it in this space

What are you gonna do about it, fight me?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

what kind of leftist would I be if I didn’t?

And so three new Lemmy instances were born.

hmm so I guess mali is the next to be screwed by tld hype bullshit

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh no you misunderstand. Tankies are hijacking the country code anti-imperialistly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

You're both wrong. It'll be more of an evisceration than evaporation.

I am an Ed Zitron reader. Do you think I'm a The New Norm serial villain? Google evaporated in 2019

I am a firm realist. There are two sides: the anti-corpo leftists of Blade II, and the hyper “where do we sign” neo liberals of Battlefield Earth.

Blade II Leftists are sure nighttime is literally just yellow color grading except when it’s blue or they forget to do it at all, and the neo liberals are sure that you tilt the camera and the more you tilt the camera the better the movie is.

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. John Travolta literally cannot evaporate, and he is also probably struggling to improve his filmmaking. He will probably find ways to do both fucked up color grading and what he thinks are Dutch angles, but in a more subtle way.

And then Del Toro will probably send him a box of shit or live bees for Christmas.

@[email protected] I would like to report a bug. Sometimes reading, interacting with, or posting a comment costs several times as much as it does other times. Posting this comment was exactly one million times as expensive as the median of my other comments and reading it will cost as much. Please try and equalize the cost of using this free site so I can continue to afford alcohol.

finally my pyramid scheme is coming to fruition

sneerchain, coming soon to an awful system near you

I am a firm realist. I’d like to point out two things.

There are two sides: the anti-corpo leftists of Del Taco, and the hyper “where do we sign” neo liberals of Taco Bell.

Del Taco Leftists are sure Taco Bell will literally just evaporate tomorrow, and the neo liberals are sure that the secret menu has already happened and will be revealed for Taco Tuesday.

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Taco Bell literally cannot evaporate, and they are also probably struggling to design a burrito that doesn’t fucking suck. They will probably find ways to distract you with churro bites instead, as a reasonable fast food chain would.

I pass the crown of firmist realist on to you

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I hereby vow to be extremely firm and extremely realistic

"I was somewhere in the middle of your mother last night, Trebek!"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

goddammit now I want a taco, and there's no great options near me

curse you, average of extremes!

I can’t stop, it’s like eating potato chips, and as a firm realist. I’d like to point out two things.

There are two sides: the anti-corpo leftists who eat Pringles, and the hyper “where do we sign” neo liberals who prefer doritos.
