We’re not going to hit those targets anyway… SO LET’S MAKE IT WAY FUCKING WORSE
I wonder if we’ll ever get to the place where people like this unexpectedly meet violent ends. They’ll sacrifice any number of lives for their shareholders interests.

Any one want to guess who will really end up paying for the price hike?
It’s not AT&T.
I believe the answer is “A lot of Americans”.
So you want to try create the right moments for deeper conversation, I think that would be more likely away from his mates? I don’t know them so just guessing.
With that in mind, maybe Google around for anything interesting or different happening in the area. A gardening or book faire, wine or coffee festival, anything relaxed. Then ask him if he wants to go. Ideally something quiet that has some walking around?
That might create helpful conditions.
Tricky, but you could take the approach of just putting it on the table:
"Hey, I have a weird random question… " And then ask if he thinks there is life elsewhere in the universe or what he thinks is going on with flat earthers or whatever. It isn’t bad to be a bit random in timing.
In terms of timing specifics though, you don’t want to do it in the middle of some other discussion, so you normally wait for a quiet moment or a lull in the current conversation. Typically depends on what’s going on. I find something like building puzzles together is great for this, because you’ve both got something to do but it’s not so intense as to block easy conversation that just meanders a bit. Just an example though.
When you are together, what are you normally doing? Long drives are easier to find ok moments, studying in the library or in the middle of a dentist appointment less so
You could try asking some deep questions, see what comes out of that.
With his ethics there’s no way I’d let any company controlled by him attach itself to my brain.
I have a hard time imagining that for any profit driven corporation, but most especially him.
Blind fury. Blind to someone’s faults, blinded by love. Poker blinds. Types of medical trials. Venetian blinds.
Getting angry at other well-established uses of words seems like fun.
Why is PCMag supporting more Twitter usage? It’s a poison, a platform for mass manipulation.
A once off time rewind by 28 years.
We demand infinite growth. Why? Because shareholders want to buy shares and sell them later for more.
Do anything it takes to make that transaction happen, cut people’s jobs en masse, whatever.
Forever.
He’s broadcasting to all businesses and billionaires that anyone who strongly supports him gets their back rubbed right back.
He’s not saying EVs are great, that we should support them because it’s good policy, the right move for America etc.
Its simply quid pro quo.
I literally issued a vocal laugh.
Yeah, fully agree. This is one of the reasons big tech is dangerous with AI, their sense of humanity and their instincts on what’s right are way off.
Oozes superficiality. Say anything do anything for market share.
I like Kamala. You have a real shot at taking Trump out with her. The stakes could not be higher. Maybe for the world. He is a truly dangerous person.
I wonder if I can get the next statement out without venom coming back at me, but I’ll say it anyway:
I think you guys should try hard to steer the rhetoric away from anything polarizing (race or gender), and do everything you can to create inclusion (from anyone). I’m seeing a lot of things like that, and I don’t think it plays out into more support. And there’s nothing more important now than maximizing support.
Wow. That was intense. Relieved you’re in a much better position now!
Right, svg. Not doing it anymore but we had a use case for dynamically generating information bearing icons based on changing conditions.
These days I see there are dedicated services that do this really well.
Another thing I got some benefit at was using it to generate thousands of configuration json files covering all permutations of a wide set of values (within rules and ranges).
A single thing? I’d be tempted to get a bike, looking for ways to improve my cardio.
You guarantee immunity and anonymity?
Is that the same kind of guarantee you gave about never attacking Ukraine when they gave up nukes?
