    He’s eager for anything to help him gain more wealth, because he doesn’t have enough yet and enough is never enough.

      That’s the thing I think I’ll die never understanding. I really don’t see the point of being on your death bed with plenty of leftovers.

      Some people have a really backwards understanding on the core philosophy of “being successful in life”. Like, he seems to lack the ability to grasp the literal meaning of that concept and so will always be doomed to fail at achieving anything with it. It just makes sense to understand he has a psychological deficit. I’d be empathetic if he weren’t such a catastrophic burden to everyone.

      Eager or desperate? They rebranded their entire company around a clusterfuck vr second life. Are they actually producing enough to stay relevant?

      Facebook has been trending downhill for a long time. Threads I barely hear about. I don’t hear as much about Oculus as I used to.

    All these stories about VR, then metverse/crypto, then ai, and now gambling. It seems like Zuckerberg is trying to recreate the early success he had in an emerging field but, at a fundamental level, does not understand that facebook was successful largely due to luck and timing.

    Sometimes I think America cannot be a good place to live until the myth of the “tech genius” is thoroughly broken.

    His secret bunker is on Maui.

    Don’t tell everyone.

    The locals won’t help you find it of you ask them.

    They definitely don’t hate him as much as all of us, or more.

      And Larry Ellison doesn’t conspicuously have a whole island in Hawaii that’s thus easy to find and widely known. Except his locals seemed a little more wary to speak ill of him.

    Zuck fucks up every business model he tries to the point of ending up saying: “I’ll just do an online Casino”

    Failing at being a tech billionaire is pretty embarrassing.

    Worst businessman ever.

    For those who may have forgotten, the little prince of Meta more or less started with Facemash, a site that displayed two photos side by side and asked users to vote for which person was “more attractive,” using a mechanism similar to “Hot or Not.”

    All “funny” if it weren’t for:

    • Privacy: using photographs of people without consent would often violate regulations and, in many countries, personal data protection laws.
    • Consent: the people depicted had not chosen to participate.
    • Objectification: asking people to rank solely based on their physical appearance can be seen as a form of objectification and can contribute to a disrespectful environment.
    • Possible psychological effects: this type of public comparison can affect self-esteem and exclude or humiliate some people.

    Not to mention what happened with Cambridge Analytica.

    What do people expect from a mind like that?

    So we know that he is actively harming young people on Instagram. We know that he was showing ads for CASM content in India and is profitering from that. He know wants to hook young people on gambling. Maybe he should get a restraining order preventing him from interacting with children at all.

    Have you seen any of the games that are available on Android and iOS devices for kids to play? They have been priming children for gambling for many many years. The sounds and visuals they use in the way they introduce prizes and features as rewards for playing mini games and various “mystery box” items they can get. They are virtually identical to any and all gambling apps as well as casino slot machines.

    Not that I ever wanted the perv glasses, but seeing this creepy ugly toad fucker wearing those makes me never want a frame remotely similar to them
