My point is, look I’m a dumb white hick. I’ve never ran anything as significant as this. Just from the way the guy talks I can tell he has eons more experience than I do. His track record? Jesus Christ.

Still, if I were him I would’ve just… stopped. Long, long ago.

Yet he hasn’t. Admittedly, I’m a dumb fuck yet smart cookie compared to some but honestly what are the odds that with zero experience I could make better business decisions than this guy?

Make it make sense, ya know? Explain to me like I’m 5 why he would make decisions that are so obviously detrimental to the company? What are the odds that I could give better business advice than this guy?

Yet this is what he’s doing. He’s either purposely destroying it or has some weird master plan and I’m not sure I can be convinced otherwise tbh. We all see it, as bad as he seems to be there’s no way he doesn’t.

Makes sense thanks

Honestly I feel like that killed Twitter more than many other changes.

People tell me "there’s no way he (musk) would intentionally crash his own company - it makes no sense - “he’s just terribly bad at business!”

But is he really THAT bad? In what world could these changes be made in which he’s actively trying to improve the company? If nothing else, seeing the negative backlash, bad publicity and dropping number of users wouldn’t any sound minded business owner at least temporarily undo some of these changes?

With any business, if you make a change that causes you to lose customers and get bad publicity… don’t you try to mitigate the damage done? Who goes balls to the wall on obviously bad decisions?

What’s “ratioing”

Hello

Edit: it works I can comment now! It’s been months, not sure if an error from this or lemmy… would hate to say lemmy… hope I can switch accounts and comment now using the account I’d like to (at the moment)

A pack of ramen is like 29 cents where I’m from…a single fucking potato is $1 no shit so, maybe area specific?

Hello

What doesn’t? Is healthy food cheaper or does it not suck?

Makes me miss the days of “plug n play” radios like give me a slot connected to speakers for my stuff, don’t connect it to the car unless it’s to the OBD2 port and shows me diagnostics of everything while I’m driving

Or just an fm radio & a Bluetooth FM transmitter

Yeah that’s good advice kind internet stranger and how I operate with many people. I give this person a little more tolerance because I genuinely believe he’s just never developed the skill of listening. It’s actually surprisingly common in my experience with guys from his generation.

Ain’t mad at ya pardner’, As pointed out in the beginning it was lengthy and petty, just wanted to vent about it to cool these 'ole boots

While I admit I can be wordy, I’ve been interrupted in conversations after the first few words, where someone has already concluded the opposite what I was trying to say

This habit really grinds my gears sometimes. Especially yesterday. I’m going to rant about this because I didn’t get the chance to actually converse about it yesterday. It will be excessively wordy and petty.

So yesterday I was conversing with a co-worker about having encountered an animal in my backyard. I say conversing but what I really mean is being disappointed.

Anyway I’d seen an animal and didn’t know what it was so I asked their opinion. Was in the back yard and I heard loud noises like a horse breathing hard from it’s nose.

When I finally caught a glimpse it was only briefly and just saw it from behind *Small, pig like tail *Short orange and black fur *Pig like body structure, short legs, round behind *Extremely slow, it “ran” from me at walking pace.

Along with some other things. Began to tell him about it and the first thing I mentioned was the orange and black fur. Was mid sentence trying to elaborate on the rest of the details when he asserted:

“It was a fox!”

It was anything but a fox. I know what foxes look like and explained that to them, along with attempting to explain other observations that would rule out the possibility of it being a fox.

But nah. Fox fox fox fox fox. Nothing I said mattered. What do I know? I was only there, know what a fox looks like which I thought would be the end of story but nope.

Just kept interrupting me with “it’s a fox” and focusing on the orange fur. Ignored completely when I pointed out that it was pig shaped, short tailed, emitted horse/dog noises when breathing etc.

I gave up, it was just an attempt at lighthearted conversation anyway.

Funny part is, when we were leaving work together this same coworker has me stop on the way out. They walk me over and point to a dog with Auburn fur.

Why did they do this? To tell me that it was a fox. The dog was a fox. Not only do they tell me this but they go on to say “this is what you saw!”

I said it wasn’t and that was the end of it. They had said their piece and corrected me, explaining to me how I had erroneously misidentified the mystery animal that I’d seen with my own eyes with a fox.

That was a dog. Beagle to be exact.

It’s true, I guess they only built the “5G” towers to have the name alone, figuring customers would want the latest and greatest. It’s worked, most people I see are using 5G even though every 5G network I’ve tested has yielded about the results you describe, 15mbps while I can easily get 30+ via 4glte standing in the same spot.

$25 a month for truly unlimited? Unheard of and super cool

Is that a good printer? Sounds vaguely like what I bought from a thrift store a while back.

It’s got something stuck somewhere that I haven’t been able to find by dismantling and cleaning. Didn’t know if it was worth fixing?

But they did do something eventually lol
