Why do you think he strongarmed Teslas shareholders into that big pay day? He's known this was coming, y'all. Tesla's just paying for his misadventure.

This was way back but had a basic support call for someone who couldn't get their mouse to work.

After speaking with them for over ten minutes and just being generally confused I cut to the chase and asked, "Ma'am, what are you doing with your mouse right now?"

The answer? She was moving the mouse around on the monitor.

I've told everyone I meet that it really no longer matters how you feel about the 2nd amendment. You are entitled to your opinion, but you need to go learn how to use them, full stop.

I've tried to convince people that if we can have a No Nut November, we ought to be able to put together a No-Sales September or something. These mentally defective executives would absolutely go back to taking care of the customer if this were a practice.

A couple of years ago I had a conversation with a Haitian native on this very topic. While I deleted my reddit account and no longer have access to that conversation, the gist was...

Americans don't seem to understand that every time they swoop in to 'save' Haiti, what they are really doing is enforcing the same colonial ideals that landed Haiti in the mess to start with.

There's no politician in play down there that isn't on the take. His opinion was just to leave it alone and let the gangs sort it out. Either they'll pull together a government or the last gang standing will.

His statement had a lot more anger and quite a few expletives.. They're just sick of all of us, y'all.

But they were recovered when a beautiful girl helped him pick them all up, starting a life-long love affair.

I was just gonna say don't let shareholders form a board. Sometimes companies need money for investment, but there's literally nothing that states they have to give investors any kind of control. Can you imagine letting some nub who inherited dad's money at 22 to come in and tell you that he doesn't give a fuck about your company, he just wants another 1% profit? Why would you let any of these toxic fucks near your brainchild?

History and tradition. You mean like precedent? That thing you've been railroading for years?

Good article. I think they hit on the real driving thought process behind the offer, and that's to divide any potential shorters on the opportunity to run the stock low.

For my part, good try Steve, but I'll pass on this 'opportunity'. The fediverse is my home now and I'll put in my efforts here.
