I’m just some guy, you know.
I really don’t care about either of these men, but they seem like they’re having fun and nobody that matters seems to care that he wore a bald cap instead of shaving his head. In fact, it kinda seems like that’s the joke…
Clearly not. They don’t even clarify which SSB they played, or on what console.
I use Edge on my work laptop because:
Yeah, one of the biggest reasons people won’t try Linux isn’t necessarily because it is difficult, but because it would require learning anything at all. Never underestimate how much effort a person is willing to make to avoid making an effort.

You: “Both”
Buddy, your comment history is covered with you lashing out like child at others who never interacted with you directly. You’re absolutely the problem.
If you smell shit everywhere you go, check your shoes.
If you can’t tell that I’m still talking about the original meme (whether you posted it or not is immaterial), that’s your problem.
Your argument was that the original accusation was appropriate because he is a billionaire. That’s bullshit logic, and we shouldn’t just make shit up about billionaires if we want our criticisms to be taken seriously. “I hate billionaires” isn’t a serious take if you can’t explain how these accusations are validated by it.
I mean, the reason Musk is an issue is because Twitter is a privately owned, for-profit company. The issue is top-down leadership. Bluesky is absolutely doomed to the same fate.
Bluesky is a for-profit corporation backed by Venture Capital and run by Crypto assholes.
Jack Dorsey launched the initiative in 2019 as a proof-of-concept for a federated Twitter, which never happened. After dumping Twitter, he re-launched it as a standalone social media service and flagship ATProto instance, before jumping ship and letting it be run by committee. He now endorses Nostr, because BlueSky wasn’t friendly enough to Nazis.
The current BlueSky CEO, Lantian Graber, started her career running shitcoin/scamcoin exchange (SkuCoin), manufacturing ASIC mining rigs, and developing for Zcash. She masquerades as a progressive techie, even as all of her past experience leans Libertarian/Anarchocapitalist, and all of her other ventures’ websites are plastered with GenAI slop.
Bluesky is growing faster than ever expected, and with virtually zero real federation going on. It’s going to fail catastrophically when the new user base realizes they signed up for the same shit they were trying to get away from.
It isn’t that hard to realize that a FOSS product developed by a nonprofit (eg. Mastodon) is the correct answer, not more centralized, corporate, for-profit social media…

Lemmy users are really weird with their upvotes…
Okay, then criticize him for that, not over some imaginary cancelable moment…
Good lord, just answer the question. Your meme doesn’t make sense.
Churning. The art of spending money in a circle using accounts that offer rewards.
I knew a guy who had like 50 credit cards and 25 bank accounts. He could move money in circles all month, and get like $100k/year in cash back rewards on top of his $100k/year job. His credit report said he spent $8M a year on credit cards. His credit score was 845.
He also pretty much flew for free, and he flew all the time. There were a few mileage programs in his little scheme.
As far as I can tell, 100% legal. The banks just make frequent changes to their offerings to make it hard to do.
You don’t live in Britain where:
Nobody was hurt
I mean, they both also won just a little bit of CTE.
It doesn’t matter if he lied. Whenever he accidentally says the correct thing, he needs to be praised. That’s how you get him to do stuff. Bernie has the right idea here. Pat this dumb motherfucker on the back and make him feel smart every time he has a broken-clock moment. That way he’ll follow through.
Oh God, who will the Credit Card companies exploit?!
Republicans: “No. Research is useless.”
Literally anything. See something you like at the store? Take it. Just walk out the front door with it. It’s yours now.
