I don't. I just think there's way bigger and way lower hanging fruit to go after rather than a smug college dropout.
My basic stance--which is not so much a legal stance as a pragmatic one--is that if a social media company is too big to moderate the content that gets posted to it, then that company should be broken up. Of course, that presumes that social media companies actually want to moderate content, which Facebook clearly does not as that would be bad for their bottom line.

The government didn't break up Microsoft and allowed AOL Time Warner to exist. They certainly won't break up Facebook.

I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands

But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well, I guess this is growing up
Exactly. And Microsoft was strong-arming companies to use IE over Netscape. "Preinstall our shit or we won't put our product in your store".
Everyone loves Microsoft now? Xbox FTW!
I was making the argument that they should, not that they will.

Ah, gotcha. I agree, FB doesn't give a shit.
No I agree with you. At the same time Duke is right that people love the Xbox. Now that one Windows system that failed...not so much. Corporations and brands are heavily woven into our lives. I wish I could say that's a modern thing but we know it's not.

I'm losing my sanity and want to apologize in advance
Eek, sorry Skitch. Sleep deprivation is horrible torture.
Hoping you get some Z's soon.
Listening to Queen’s Greatest hits on vinyl with a gin and tonic in hand. My second one, actually.
Been that kind of week.

Mine is long gone. I sympathize.

So you’re saying you went ‘Mad’ a long time ago.....?
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
Possibly. We are all a little mad these days.

Even though the basement isn’t finished, we have quite the entertainment system downstairs. I grew tired of listening to vinyl and watching movies with the atmos system while sitting in a nice lawn chair.
So, I went out and bought two recliners, loaded them up (two trips), and got them in the basement by myself.

Man, you shoulda called me over. Would have loved to watch.

when duke is moving
the boards lie quiet as grass
on a dewy morn
Officially moved in. In a makeshift setup at the moment. BOXES EVERYWHERE.
Only had to make two drips to Lowes yesterday. Movers were awesome.
One more trip this morning.
Baby loves her new room. Need shades though for naps.
My office fucking rules but there's just a pile of shit everywhere. Pics later?
Planning on making a trip to Ikea on Tuesday to build "Super desk". One part gaming heaven. One part COVID WFH. Essentially the mullet version of a desk setup. Business in the front, party in the back.
Congrats to you and your family on the smooth move, Duke!
Moving is such a bitch. That being said, I can't wait to move out of this house lol
Once you get it good and groomed, I would enjoy some pictures of your mullet office.
Thanks Meg.
Here's a quickie of the office space. No lights and I waited too long to take pictures so sorry for the darkness.
Its like a Best Buy just ejaculated all over the place. I approve.
Thanks, Skitch. Literally spit my beer out.
