  • That's talking about a literal thing that happens in your brain in real time when hearing a word every few seconds. I guess as a metaphor for this tactic it works.

    But the one they're doing is serving the same purpose as "accusation in a mirror" but by a slightly different method. Just make sure you're talking about the other side in as dramatic and extreme terms as they're talking about you; it doesn't need to make sense. To anyone not really paying attention it's all just background noise, of both sides calling each other nasty names because that's what political people do.

    Most Republicans figured out how to do a version of this when they were in kindergarten. Kick the other kid when the teacher's not looking, then fall on the floor fake crying. Worst case, you get a "both of you, stop it!" If you're lucky, you might even convince the teacher the other kid started it.

  • Did anyone expect them to... not do that?

  • If true... that is not saying what they were trying to say about their current company values.

  • It's being run exactly like a private-equity takeover business. Sears, K-Mart, Radio Shack, Toys R Us, Red Lobster... That's the model.

  • I don't know why this post got down voted but Cory Doctorow agrees with you.

    Only upside is whenever this bubble pops it's going to be on Trump's watch. ( How confident is the maga regime in their ability to fix the next two elections...? )

    Maybe they are fine with a crash of the stock market and then the whole dollar-based economy because they are going all in on crypto.

  • The 20% who think it's not must be the less-inteligent half of the 40% of Americans who believe humans coexisted with dinosaurs.

  • I guess it's a good thing he never wrote any songs

  • There are over 70 confederate monuments in the state of Florida; none of which are yet painted in rainbow colors.

  • We believe it plenty. Most of us are just done tolerating, or engaging with, people who still feel that way.

  • The article says they came up with this in 2007. The, in 2008 this happened... 🤔

  • It's more that the fall of the hopeful idealism and ambition, the earnest naive optimism for the future of tech that was originally driving Silicon Valley the late 70s / early 80s into the monstrous thing it's become in the 21st century; parallels the same HST saw happening at the end of the San Francisco 60s' acid wave when the hippies burnt out and the tweakers took over.

    "We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that 60's. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling "consciousness expansion" without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him seriously... All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped create... a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody... or at least some force - is tending the light at the end of the tunnel."

  • ⚠️Verification fluid critically low. Please add 4oz. authentic Mercedes-Benz Verification Fluid to start.

  • IDK what's wrong with me but Tyson and Perdue were the first companies to pop into my mind reading the headline

  • They got rid of that in 2017. And Google got rid of "Don't be evil" a year later.
