Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Lol: https://journa.host/@jeremybmerrill/110894894974135811 - New: Elon Musk’s Twitter (now "X") is throttling traffic to news websites and competitors he dislikes. Five-second delays on links to New York Times, Reuters, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky and Substack. Most other sites we tested have zero delay. (Then link to wapo)
Agree. Instead of X it should be REE. 🤣
@Annoyed_Crabby @cendawanita it really should!
Oooh interesting comment here too https://astral.camp/@endeavorance/110896723075520729 about them taking advantage of a known web 'dark pattern'
Elon Musk went from the coolest tech zillionaire to world's most hated guy lol
From my perspective his rep start to tank when he did Hyperloop, and further down when he did the cave rescue stunt. Should've stop at Tesla and SpaceX.
i thought it's Twitter acquistion? before that many ppl suck his dick man...
Twitter is the last straw that broke the camel back, but yeah the like/hate ratio before twitter is tilting toward like.
Before Twitter those who rolled eyes at him were still in the minority. Now a bit more exposed but even then ...
i wonder how's the workforce composition at X now, idk if it's a meme or not but got the impression from online that most that stayed were vulnerable H1B people that are about to be deported should they not choose to work there anymore lol.
Yeah same impression for me, reckon it's one of those things that'll come out in hearsay and anecdotes until some proper reporting/accounting exposes it.
Not to play the hipster card but mine eyes have been rolling at him and his hair implant hairline even before that Iron Man 2 cameo 😌
what's wrong with implanting hair lol, i have receding hairline already i think i might need one in the future @.@
Absolutely nothing wrong with that*. I just knew of Elon from his fake-ass PayPal/X days so when he showed up trying to cosplay a cool guy I'm like, hah.
*Pretty much the original avengers era lineup got all their hair sorted anyways
at least white people can rock botak, is like a very popular hairstyle in the West but Asian botak is just nek level cursed.
That's just the low self-esteem talking bb
