The doc in the picture is wearing a mask that was supposed to prevent the plague. If the person didn't die from the treatments they had back then the plague will kill them anyway.

No reason to burn someone if you can legitimately bleed them out first.

Stock price moving is not a tech story.

Can't you just tow it outside the environment to avoid liability if the front falls off?

Don't believe all the bullshit about what he has "created". He was fired, but got to keep is equity. Peter Thiel was the PayPal founder.

Tesla was founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in 2008.

For a long while, Elon was very successful and very popular. Like most CEOs, he claimed all the work at Tesla and SpaceX is of his own creation. And sure, I am sure he was responsible for a lot of the financial success of those two companies. He sets goals for a company and the people in those companies try to achieve those goals. In Elon's case, he sets many goals and many projections that tend to fall flat. That doesn't matter if you are successful in getting more investors and boost stock prices.

However, once he started running his mouth on Twitter, it became very clear that his charisma couldn't keep up.

Also, the financial sector is nothing like it was when PayPal was founded. There weren't regulations in place that could apply directly to that kind of company yet. While he may know more about the financial sector simply because he deals with many more zeros on a daily basis, his "revolutionary" description of how he wants to transform X shows that he is way out of touch.

Quite simply, Elon has proven that he cannot be trusted, especially when it comes to reporting anything financial. For example, him and the "CEO" of X are currently saying that advertisers are returning at record rates. This is getting proven wrong, or being shown as misleading at best.

That is too simplistic of a name and un-original.

If this product moves forward, it's likely to be on a small scale. For example, like when a person needs to send a friend reimbursement for a coffee. So, initially, if it needs a simple name for paying back friends, or other pals, why not just call it Pay-A-Pal, or PayPal for short.

No bank account, no actual cash and everything happens in the system. It's revolutionary! It's like digital transactions that happen through pure accounting for a small fee. Like credit cards, but those are old.

Once I switched to Lemmy from Reddit, my social media usage dropped about 50%. I am active here, but nowhere near what I was on Reddit. Also, I get a lot less angry.

After I disabled all the personalization "features" for Android, the news tiles got a lot more boring. It shows major stories that might refresh every other day or so now.

Getting away from algorithmic news feeds was the best thing that happened in my life.

Fair. Using a double entendre as a meme kinda breaks all meme philosophy.

I guess the police were running low on bribe money.

A king and queen walk into a bar.

The bartender tells them "sorry, but you're under 21."

Roblox has always been complete garbage. If they don't give a fuck about kids gambling, they sure as fuck don't care about their employees.
