wasn’t that the real canary in the coal mine? the internal memo where they were like ‘uhh how do we get people who work at meta to get excited about meta?’

I’m still waiting for someone to explain why it isn’t just Second Life.

The Meta ads (which run constantly on Hulu but nowhere else, as far as I can tell) are hilariously vague and inept. Think the metaverse is stupid? Yeah, well one day a farmer is going to be able to pop on his old augmented reality googles, conclude that his soil is “dry,” and then turn a little floating dial thing to…

“Is that short for Radagast?” “No, Radagon”

Yeah, an easier lie was never spotted.  Jesus, the gall of these people.

Lmao I read that and was like, Oh I’m SURE they fucking did

I was about to comment on that too! A likely fucking story.  Either they can count and they stole his money, or they are too stupid to be able to count money, in which case they shouldn’t be working as police officers. 

the Bureau of Criminal Investigation concluded that “deputies had miscounted the amount seized during the raid itself,”

emotional distress, embarrassment, ridicule, loss of reputation and humiliation
