I think one of the hallmarks of a good leader is good communication internally. Can't speculate on what he was going through or the validity of said claims, but if he indeed did go radio silent in the midst of layoffs... yeah.

Why not give a flat earther a huge prime time platform? I mean that in of itself proves nothing. There have been many attempts and even in my own circles and in the end the it has nothing to do with the facts and all about fear and badly c

Great in theory, but if you've ever debated someone who is not acting in good faith online it's near impossible. Their energy input is an order of magnitude lower than yours. And yes, in this specific context it IS misinformatio

Someone want to throw out there a better way to combat disinformation than just armchair criticizing their decision? I almost feel like people are siding with the anti-vaxxers out of "principle". Just a no win situation. It&#x27

i mean i get it, but if you've ever walked into the CVSs off mission no amount of data driven evidence is going to convince you not to GTFO of there as soon as possible.

things like this always make me shake my head and his "statement" on twitter doesn't do anything to help his case, twitter mob be damned. so generic (imo). he was in a high position of power and used that to set up situation

tailwind ramp up is kind of jarring at first, but any verbosity is 100% made up in the prototyping and maintenance phase. i can't tell how much easier it is to just dev my components structure + style and have it reflected instantly v

i think boycotting a business or having a highly visible public figure (aka celebrities) face social consequences isn't "cancel culture". it comes with the territory, so to speak. for me, personally, it's when your aver

this is probably the exact mentality that got the funds in this position. they have more patience than you think when it comes to making money (which is the end goal), and the other pumping is getting rooted out as shills or distractions.

okay, but if it was a pump and dump why all the media manipulation and shenanigans? why the coordinated attempts to tank the stock, etc? wouldn't u want it to skyrocket and reap the benefits? i mean that's exactly what a pump a

uh, there's way too much analysis here lol. at it's core it's a fun distraction and people are gamblers. it's no different than fantasy football or going to your local casino. there's a big subset there that is ob
