I call it "Dances With Conspicuously Fuckable Aliens"

"she has to have a poor education, be socially isolated, look hot, and have very low expectations. The line forms here..."

The corporate mindset is very big on making decisions based on how they will affect the stock price, with the assumption that those decisions will work out eventually.

These decisions won't. 5/5

These execs assume that the next generation of LLM technology will address the shortcomings present in this generation. But the shortcomings are inherent to the concept, and it would take an entirely new technology to address them. 4/?

And it did... sort of. Eventually the offshore agents learned English. (And started asking for more money, so they shipped the jobs elsewhere, but separate rant.)

But that won't happen with the LLMs. It *can't*.
3/?

Compare it to when most American call center jobs got sent offshore. The execs knew full well that the offshore agents' command of English ranged from iffy to intolerable, but it looked great on a stock report, and they expected the situation would work itself out. 2/?

That is a Muppet.

Meanwhile, the Lonely Men are rejecting any woman they rate 8.9 or below.

I keep wondering, in all seriousness, if some of these guys would be happier dating men. They clearly don't like women and don't think women have anything to offer, while gushing about what men bring to the table.

"The Notebooks of Larazus Long", a subset of "Time Enough For Love".

I'm actually leaning towards new wife.

I have, in fact, had a girlfriend scream at me and try to incite a fight with an ex because she found her name and number in my phone. Amusingly, it was a old number, and the guy who had the number now was very confused.

And there's no other platform with that reach, nor will there be until Facebook dies. And perhaps not even then, as again-- people are leaving Facebook for the absence of Facebook, rather than looking to replace it, and Facebook has poisoned the market. 7/7

...it's as useful as an advertisment on a bathroom wall in Antarctica.

Whereas people who find or lose pets find the Facebook group by themselves, without any particular saavy-- including the 68yo who found our dog last week, and myself, who found it because I have a house dogs show up at. 6/?

1) Most of these people haven't even heard of Discord, much less have an active account.
2) I wouldn't even think to look for a discord server, nor would I know how to find it (unless it were linked on facebook).

And without the base audience and people being able to find it... 5/?

Case in point-- where I live, there's a Facebook group for lost and found pets. If such a group exists on another platform-- say, Discord-- it is useless, because: 4/?

But the thing is, the people who have left Facebook have done so to *leave Facebook*, rather than move to another platform. Because, as much as it sucks, there's just certain things that Facebook has that don't exist elsewhere, and *can't* exist elsewhere so long as Facebook lives. 3/?

Now most of those people weren't the sort of relationship where it's that big a deal-- a lot of facebook friendships are "well, we're both here and we've met, so we might as well be connected." But every once in a while someone I actually care to talk just drops facebook and... is gone. 2/?
