A dumb thing Zuck said when he was in college pales in comparison to the horrible stuff he's enabled as a fully formed adult who should know better.

- BiteCode_dev 6mo agoYes. But there are things you say as a young person that are revealing of core personality traits. Most people would just not say that.

- SwellJoe 6mo agoYeah, I'm inclined to think people can grow. There's a reason juveniles convicted of crimes, even serious crimes, should be given a second chance and are given a second chance in most civilized places. College is where things start to firm up for most people, though. I don't think I've ever known anyone who was a terrible person in college who turned out good.
- BiteCode_dev 6mo agoTrue, but none of the action of Meta under his direction points to having changed in any way. If anything, he doubled down.
- SwellJoe 6mo agoI just grow tired of hearing people trot out a thing Zuck said in college, when there are so many far worse things he's said and done since then, and with the weight of tremendous wealth and influence backing them. The thing he said in college was shitty, and indicative of a spoiled, entitled, child of wealth and privilege, but saying it was basically harmless. Worse things might be said at the corner sports bar on any given night in any city in the country. What he's done since has caused real harm.
- alex1138 6mo agoOk "A" dumb thing Ignore dumb fucks What about "if you need info on people at Harvard just ask" Or "I'm going to fuck them in the ear" (Winklevosses)
- SwellJoe 6mo agoEverything he's done since is far worse.
