“Go big or go home!” The CEO says as they fire 70% of their staff and now have to take a vacation to recharge at their summer beach house. His major concern? His severance package is only $3 million when his last place gave him $12 million. But this next coke-fueled idea will absolutely get them back to the top!

Thank you! Felt like I was I playing a different game than everyone else.

Everyone mocked Starfield’s Neon for being Discount Cyberpunk. But at least they played it as straight as they could. Like, I could believe people live there and had a life.

It felt like Outer Worlds kept trying to make jokes about how cruel capitalism is versus tell a real story. Like, “Oh boy time to go increase shareholder value!” Or “I love Space nuts. I have to say that or I die.” Like wtf, where’s the subtlety?

It’s not Borderlands 3 bad, no where near it. But it’s pretty bad.

I laughed way too hard at this.

Bro I know people like this. The JD Vances who are so obnoxious but only in the room because of some political BS. And we absolutely leave them out of the real discussion.

I wish I could be such a PoS where I join a company, propose a massive investment into something, see it’s failure and firing a bunch of staff, then bounce with a nice severance package to join a new company to repeat that over and over again.

My first taste of pure evil capitalism was when my fast food job in college was forcing everyone to switch to getting a “cash card” rather than a check. That card had a $0.25 fee every time you used it.

I don’t know if it still exists or if sane politicians told companies that shit was illegal.

Why? She needed a latte, and because she suffers from poor choices, she can now get a $8 latte that will cost $219 to pay back!

I identify as a man and accidentally went into the women’s bathroom at the supermarket.

It smelled like blood, tampons on the floor, and there was a woman crying in the stall.

I’ll take the piss floors.

Oh was this not a meme about dipshit influencer fighting Mike Tyson?

I thought it was more about young people willing to watch garbage because 🤪🤪🤪 what if how zany 🤪🤪🤪

Don’t worry! Once all the H-1B visas get relaxed, we can push even MORE straight white men out!

Thank you! Subscribed and will start passing posts over there.

We saw a man propose to his wife in a cute way. There was a person playing music and he got on his knees. She said yes and people were being supportive.

Then I got down on my knee and proposed to my wife (again). My wife said no and walked away.

I then quietly left the area to the awkward strangers, turned the corner to find my wife laughing at me.

This is the way.

If they’re a shit website, I’m a lot more spiteful and put their content on the way back machine or post it publicly somewhere.

This is the way.

But seriously, Please! I’m a frequent poster and every time I have to post to lemmy.world, I just assume it’ll be blocked/removed.

Reminds me of the tweet that made fun of twinks being ugly and his DMs was filled with twink photos and he was like, “Haha losers I wanted lots of photos of hot twinks.”

You sir are playing 4D chess and I commend you.

Had a ex-friend who went real hard last year about feeling his masculinity has been challenged. Went deep into the manosphere language. He was extra annoying. Every convo was about how he, a white man in America, was being repressed. He started labelling random shit as masculine/feminine. Got sick this and stopped inviting him.

A few months later, I learned the divorce was finalized and he’s been sending me invites to hang with him in his bachelor pad. Nah dog you suck now.

Same with Alpha Snowflakes who get triggered by words like cis.

Wait time is getting slashed across the board. An example: If in rush hour traffic, 8 minutes was added, but now it’s 3 minutes, that’s five minutes of car fumes and CO2 avoided, of more cars moving about, of goods being transferred. We’re not shaving seconds, we’re shaving literal minutes!

We’re talking about hundreds of thousands of vehicles. This is New York with millions of people. People, businesses, all these things are affected. If you combine this with other data, you might better see the outcomes.

This isn’t tiny incremental gains. From a economic/environmental/commerce standpoint, these are multipliers.

People may show excitement over the hot new thing, but nobody is going to migrate their entire architecture/platform over unless it’s incredibly convenient or they’re rebuilding from scratch. Backward compatibility makes it less of a barrier of entry to migrate.

That’s good for adoption.

But also a foot gun, since the roadmap of Deno just starts to look like Node.

This was pointed out a few years ago, using comparisons from the js framework wars, and the js tooling wars.

To gain adoption, they need to do things better by a multiplier. Why is Vite the standard now? Because gulp was doing too much, and webpack was a complex mess. Vite is so fast, lightweight, and works.

Node and the Node contributors are taking every single idea Deno has and implementing them faster and better.

Deno is a nice idea, but it’s getting their lunch eaten.
