  1. Epic Games and Sony are all "you think we don't know our way around a hack!". Sorry, couldn't resist.
  2. Being a shit head or being a shit heads who also does a lot of drugs are absolutely possible as well.
  3. Self medicating with drugs and/or alcohol is my somewhat educated guess.
  4. @Captain Ron I appreciate your post and what it immediately brought to my mind were all the various companies I worked for throughout my career. I've always expressed that I'm a client advocate. I genuinely care about the people I've worked with at at various companies. To greatly varying degrees, some horrifyingly bad, some just stupidly bad, all of them failed to make the clients, you know the ones who ultimately pay the bills, the first priority. To be clear, I'm not a customer is always right sort of person, I'm not and they aren't. Moreover, there are bad clients you should fire. That said, always making profitability the first priority has a horrible effect on the client experience. Yet, from Fortune 100 to VC Funded SMBs, the stake holders are never the clients, and instead it's the investors or shareholders. Idiotic decisions are made to move the stock in the right direction, even worse ones are made to appease VC shit heads. VC cares about Ebita and 90 day profitability, crossed with 30 day growth and they hire "winners" rather than leaders to do drive that goal. Client advocates with long term clients relationships for on going sustainable business is actually a negative to VC management. I don't want to derail the thread completely but winning at the cost of anything is the problem in a broad spectrum globally right now. Facebook, among other corporations and silicone Valley drove the exponential growth of this aspect. Sure, it absolutely existed before but the tech craze insanely sharpened the knife that is among the largest issues in the world today. Without going full economics nerd, technology, the king driver of this behavior has been among this largest contributions to the economic divide between haves and have nots. This all said by a life long tech guy.. (edit - and a Yay! I LOVE capitalism guy, for the record. No not sarcasm. Which I believe, should make my condemnations seem that much worse.)
  5. I think you confused Sark and Surly in this post.
  6. That's the funniest part, I'm not even for the TikTok ban, as I think that choice should be left to the public. Sadly they are largely way too stupid to acknowledge any issues with giving their data away or it's rampant use to fuck them in their own ass. Just like a lot of legislation that gets passed is usually the stupidity of the public that lead to them, though it not true in the case of TikTok. Yet CmonCCP takes issue with me about TikTok in a thread intended to shit on Zuck, Facebook and Meta. See the stupidity note I made above for my thoughts on that reality.
  7. So rather than creating some "new content" by starting a pro TikTok thread you decided to come shit in the Anti-Zuck thread. That tracks.
  8. Got me domo Arigato
  9. Wait, you told me you were Mr Beast. I'm starting to wonder if you're being a little dishonest and perhaps too pro TikTok. It seems a tad, sided too be so pro China and anti-US policy. It's almost as if you were had an agenda.
  10. Other than cmonchina not sure I've seen that stance a lot. But then again I pretty much focus on my own content for my followers.
  11. Were I that sales rep, I'd absolutely promote the positive push his rating would get and the impact on social media, and talk dollars while dropping a hint that A+ was for sale and the UAE was extremely interested in the product. I'd also drop clues that I frequently heard in back channels how much this product pisses off Putin. Sell the client not the product, and kick backs are extremely dirty and not my flavor but if it meant helping Ukrainian troops...
  12. Afterhours BBS You had to learn to read in-between lines really well and sniff out the men pretending to be women, but... there were a couple of Lake Travis parties and I became a bit of a "celebrity" for my TW2000, Major MUD and trolling skills. It paid off... really well. It was the go to for geeky women with a strong sex drive who weren't comfortable picking up men in bars.
  13. Okay that's pretty cool, I'm actually Nick Perry (no not that one but you might know me as Nicholas Avocado. Who'd have thunk wed meet on Surly. We should do some colab content crossover and you should really consider a transition to Onlyfans. TikTok is dying.
  14. I'm pretty sure what he's trying to imply, all be it very poorly, is he's an influencer on TikTok. You also missed or ignored that he implied you and I are deeply entrenched partisan minds. You pull your head out of Pelosi's ass, I'll take off my Maga hat. We can sing cumbaya at a pro-TikTok rally while recording, wait for it.. ON TikTok. We have to come up with a new dance and I demand some of my followers on Onlyfans be invited.
  15. Right, fact based discussion on important topics only. Never with any vitriol or name calling in our debates and kind nice folks. American to give it a name.
  16. My bad! Can I still shit on Zuck or is that verboten too? Oh shit I should read my own links better. If an adventure capitalist says letting governments, all governments, steal my info like China is good, he has to be right. We all know those guys are freedom fighters. The Indian government said the decision to ban the apps was "to protect the data and privacy of its 1.3 billion citizens" and to put a stop to technology that was "stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users' data in unauthorized servers outside India".[26][27] Apar Gupta, executive director of the Internet Freedom Foundation, said the censorship was absent from well-defined national security criteria and has "impacted more Indians than any before". A venture capital investor said it was a populist "feel-good" step, referring to the ban, and that the world has the right to do what China has long done in its own country.
  17. Every time this thread is bumped I run in for some delicious Telenovas action only to be sadly disappointed. Do better Surly!!!
  18. I posted that link meat head! I just appropriately renamed it. And it's not "banned" in China. I've found the use of quotation marks makes my bullshit points more meaningful.
  19. Might want to check the link and read my post. Not sure why you felt compelled to put one of the bans in quotation marks. Is a government ban on government owned devices not really a ban at all? Also, why do you insist on derailing the anti-Zuck thread with your TikTok propaganda?
  20. Hmmm.. your selection seems pretty limited, almost specifically selected to make a point to the poor pearl clutchers. Let's just use the evil Googles on a bit of digging, shall we. Many countries have imposed past or ongoing restrictions on the video sharing social network TikTok. Bans from government devices usually stem from national security concerns over potential access of data by the Chinese government.[1] Other bans have cited children's well-being and offensive content such as pornography.[2] Lord have mercy the globe is full pearl clutching freedom haters You may want to consider a finding a place in Antarctica or Russia to be able to maintain your freedom enabling TikTok.
  21. Which is less likely to result in 6 for the other team.. so there's that.
  22. Fine but you go shitting on Onlyfans and your going on ignore.
  23. Well, here's where I am certain I'll catch some flak. There's a lot of shit I don't like and a lot of really fucking dumb people say really fucking dumb shit. However, I also believe in the Bill of Rights and I think the First Amendment is facing existential and real crisis from all sides. So, within legal bounds I do support the right of idiots to say idiotic shit, up to a point. I'm not trying to CR up this thread so I'll leave it at that. Okay, soap boxing finished, this is the reaction of this person amuses the shit out of me. I'll stand up for the rights and causes I believe in, defend my child's rights to the end of the earth.. I mean.. Of course. . Um.. until it effects my paycheck. Crisan forgot to find a 🌳 for the very fucking structured work pic:
  24. Look man, I get a new NIL going for you and call it BeannCheese. Catch is I get sideline passes and you put the bug in Sarks ear that as an Italian I would make a great kicker scout. Maybe racist?
  25. I mean, Sark is known for his unique choices and offensive designs and that would certainly be a new wrinkle.
