Whistleblower says water contains hydrogen

[–] nobodysreadingthis@quokk.au 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I hadn't registered it as a performance of caring.

[–] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

🫂 everyone who gets to those levels of wealth is a horrible person and a seasoned liar.

[–] nobodysreadingthis@quokk.au 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I couldn't tell what he was trying to lie about, just that he was lying about something.

[–] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Lol, I get it now. You couldn't read the psychopath's face. Very relatable.

[–] nobodysreadingthis@quokk.au 2 points 6 days ago

The text was equally unhelpful.

Mark Zuckerberg only pretends to care about anything.

Yeah absolutely, and the more proof of what we know that we can gather, the less manoeuvring they can do to get around it. Corruption can't exist blatantly or they wouldn't invest so much in propaganda. It's certainly does exist blatantly, but then it's about a power struggle. Ultimately they need 'us' (collectively not individually) to engage to a degree, to say the benefits outweigh the costs. To keep using Facebook because the algorithms have caused addiction and our friends are on there. If anything overpowers that drive, and we all collectively turn away. They cease to exist. I mean obviously that's why they try so desperately to intricate themselves in politics and weapons, an oroborous.

We need this information, collectively. We need society wide disgust.

"whistleblower blows whistle"

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 24 points 6 days ago

Well no shit. To him, or any billionaire, empathy is impossible and even sympathy is a tall order.

In other news, water is wet and fork found in kitchen

Literally the only way they can make any of this right when the bubble pops and shit starts hitting the fan is public execution.

Musk, bezos, Altmann, zuckerman, etc.

Nothing they do short of that is going justify all the damage they caused to the world, I don't think we will be able to move past it unless they where executed, or at the very least have to spend 5 counts of life time sentences in solitary confinement with no parole, work release, etc.

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Nah, put them through the legal system and see how they last in our prison system, and not one of the white collar cushy ones. Maybe they'll end up spending some of their money on improving our penal system then.

[–] FoxAlive@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, you are right and I know it. I more or less don't trust that to happen though.

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, but we can still vent and post guillotine memes.

[–] FoxAlive@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

I'm all about that life

if you take away their wealth what have most of these celeb billionaires accomplished? zuck created a website that got popular that wasn't even the first of its kind. it was just popular...

and if it disappeared tomorrow i wouldn't give two fucks. humanity survived for thousands of years without facebook and instagram and it hasn't been a benefit to society. it didn't solve a problem that needed to be solved--we already had myspace and photobucket and the local classified ads.

why are we treating rich people like celebrities just for being rich, especially ones who don't impact your life in any positive way? that's the real issue.

i never knew who the CEO or creator of gillette was even though i shave my face every day. that guy deserves more recognition.

The word “duh” comes to mind.

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Even if this is obvious, I’m really glad more people are coming forward with evidence, testimony, and details. It takes a lot of courage to step forward as a whistleblower and I’m happy they did.

The cat is out of the bag!

Many bothans died to bring us this information.

[–] witnessradiant650@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He doesn’t let his kids use social media. Why do you think that is?

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

It causes autism.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 6 days ago

you mean the android and his human wife sitting at a dinner tale with infamous epstein, thiel, musk, and other pedophiles care.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Nobody is shocked, yet nothing will ever be done.

Time for nukes from space.

[–] nobodysreadingthis@quokk.au 9 points 6 days ago

Genuinely hadn't noticed.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

I mean….he did get us his start by rating his classmates on hotness and stealing the idea for Facebook.

[–] deathbird@mander.xyz 5 points 6 days ago

I mean, you often need people with direct knowledge of obvious things to say them in court under oath.

Wake me up when there’s something really new news.

[–] probable_possum@leminal.space 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Jetzt bin ich aber doch überrascht.

Next they find out that meta also didn't care about all the other users, when they rolled out the addictive mechanisms. That they needed to please the gods of revenue... I mean... shareholders.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago
