You know if they called up this grifter and offered him a job as unterfuhrer of liberal reeducation or some shit and the money was good enough he would pivot immediately and pretend his 'never trump' years never happened

'I fucking want to kill all the <slur>s'

'I fucking want healthcare for everyone'

Yeah these are indistinguishable if you're a moron

The thing is, you can't distinguish far-left accounts from the MAGA-prankster accounts, because the horseshoe theory is real.

You understand that the same technical approach can be applied at a larger scale right? You don't really think this person was suggesting that wal-mart's system is directly transferable to a different problem space, right???

well we should liquidate billionaires just for fun but i guarantee you there is enough wealth in this country to provide treatment for every illness many times over, while having enough left over to feed and house everyone as well

found details of the production, I was definitely 19, my future wife was a senior in high school in houston, we had yet to meet but we were a only few miles apart for the first time lol

production was well regarded by the critics

When I was 18 or 19 I took one of my first road trips to Houston and saw godot at a little theater in the round called the Zocalo theater and it was sublime

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

Yeah well that sucks I actually don't think anyone should die of a treatable illness nor do I think a person's employment should depend on maintaining perfect health until death

Best of luck mr "capitalist" when you get an expensive illness that takes you out of work and health insurance refuses to cover it, we'll see how many weeks that 'capital' persists before you're broke

looked at my lists for the first time, and this one is funny - I have absolutely no stance on 'shipping' (I only even know what it is because I have a 13 yo kid!)

However, I don't think that's actually the thing this person has a problem with me being against lol

I don't think they've done enough to inform users about this feature - maybe get in touch with the COO about it?

I think the problem is that bsky c-suite people are apparently not to be subject to criticism on their own website, whether it's because it's their personal buddy or because they're a capitalist ???

This person has gotta be a tech libertarian pedophile, seeing as it's fine and cool and free speech to label plebe media people as shameful for years, but a c-suite executive gets a minor criticism in a post that 200 people will see and it's time to SHUT.IT.DOWN!

The "lie": it's being shut down because people don't like that ceo jay follows transphobes

The truth: it's being shut down because people don't like that coo rose follows the transphobe and general bigotry org
