We should import some French culture
I hear the Americans are importing a lot of South Afrucan culture tgese days
Don't conflate those racist pieces of shit with real South Africans and their culture.
the french revolution immediately turned into a terror regime and after that, the napoleonic wars.
Still an improvement
Well they did figure shit out eventually
Hey investors: Think how much money Facebook could save by firing the CEO that decided to rename the whole company after a failed product.
He renamed Facebook to meta because the leak of Facebook data to Cambridge Analytica and revelations by whistle blower Frances Haugen damaged the Facebook brand.
Fortunately it worked very well for him and we all have a very positive view of meta.
They are just AI washing, they got problems and I love it!
The final stage of enshittification in motion.
The thing is, Meta are making more money than ever. Will this continue? At what point will things become unsustainable so that the house of cards collapses?
We could be beyond it. What hasn't happened quite yet are things like failing currencies, but it's entirely possible we are beyond the point of no return. Once the giant ring of investments catches up with itself, the snake eats its own tail, the bottom drops out, and the greatest economic crash the world has ever seen stampedes unfettered through the lives of every person on the planet.
"Are making more money than ever" is a administrative subjective term. Your checks are as balanced as your willing to show in your books.
What’s “Meta”? Is that like a clothing brand or something?

Stop using FaceBook. Problem solved.
And whatsapp and Instagram
Those are the ones people have an issue dumping
in 10 years, nobody will use instagram because every post will be AI generated. or rather, you won't be able to tell whether it's AI generated.
And there will only be bots looking at it.
Isn’t this the dead internet theory
Itt: People with as much empathy as Zucc the Cuck shitting on people who don't want to be homeless.
Well, Zuckerberg was so successful with his pivot to the metaverse so why not?
The amazing thing about that is that it wasn't even a particularly bad idea, it was just implemented badly.
Gosh darn the luck!
How terrible. A crying shame. Anyway..
I'd care slightly more if they didn't all work for Meta.
Zuck always looks like a child doing his best impression of an adult while wearing his dad's suit
