@alexisohanian I hear that’s how Jokers got his scars and lost his mind
ROTTEN FUCKIN THING TO SAY. NONSENSICAL TO BOOT. IF YOUR EFFORTS TO WORK ON SOMETHING WITH OTHERS INVOLVES BEING FORCED TO HAVE AN APPETITE FOR “CHEWING GLASS” THEN WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT SAY ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE INTERPERSONAL CONSTITUTION OF THE INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED? COME ON DUDE - IF THAT IS HOW IT IS THEN BE HONEST IN WHAT YOU ARE SAYING: “IF YOU HAVE ANY INTENTION OF WORKING WITH OTHERS IN THIS ‘TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY’ THAT I AM AN ‘AUTHORITY’ AND ‘GATEKEEPER’ OF AND FOR WHICH I ALONE HAVE EXTENSIVE CONTROL OVER HOW FAR WHAT YOU WORK ON CAN SCALE BASED ON YOUR SUBMISSION TO MY EXPECTATIONS THAT YOU ARE TO SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF GREED-ORIENTED & EMOTIONALLY CRAVEN ‘CAPITALISTS’ THEN YOU MUST EXPECT TO DEAL WITH CUTTHROAT ASSHOLES WHO CAUSE PAIN AND DISTRESS AND HAVE NO REGARD FOR SOMEONE’S INCLINATION TO BE INTOLERANT OF SUCH BEHAVIOR ON BEHALF OF ‘INDUSTRY PRACTICES’ BASED ON COMPETITIVENESS & PUSHING OUT RATHER THAN COLLABORATION & COMING TOGETHER.” COME ON BRO - YOU AIN’T FUCKING RIGHT FOR SAYING SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YOUR FUCKING ‘INDUSTRY’ TREATS WELL-MEANING LIVES AS IF THEY ARE DISPOSABLE AND THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE QUICKLY DISCARDED WHEN THEY DO NOT MEET “CAPITALIST SPEC”, AND YOU SHOULD POINT TO THIS IN YOUR MESSAGE’S INVITATION TO BE OPPRESSED AND BE SUBJECTED TO SUFFERING JUST FOR “DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGY”. THAT AIN’T MAKE SENSE BRO - NOBODY NEEDS TO BE OPPRESSED AND BE SUBJECTED TO SUFFERING BECAUSE THEY “ARE DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGY” - ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT TECHNOLOGY IS ANTI-MATERIALIST AND ANTI-CAPITALIST AND THEREFORE LARGELY EXEMPT FROM THE OPPRESSIVE & SUFFERING-RIDDEN IDEALS OF THE “MATERIALIST-CAPITALIST” WAY OF COLLABORATING TO HARNESS & LEVERAGE INTELLECTUAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES. TO ANYONE READING THE MESSAGES OF SELF-UNAWARE IMBECILES AS THIS - DO NOT BE FOOLED INTO BUYING INTO WHAT THIS DIPFUCK IS SAYING - HE IS ONLY ABLE TO SAY SUCH A THING BECAUSE HE IS IN A “PRIVILEGED” POSITION WITHIN HIS “INDUSTRY” - THAT INSULATES HIM FROM THE ADVERSE EFFECTS THAT ARE DUMPED ON WELL-MEANING INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY NOT BE TOLERANT OF THE SHEER AMOUNT OF WASTE AND INEFFICIENCY AND INEFFECTIVENESS OF A CONCEPT SUCH AS “CAPITALISM” AS OPPOSED TO A BIOLOGICALLY-USEFUL CONCEPT SUCH AS “MUTUALISM”. WHAT THIS FAG IS SAYING IS NOT ONE MADE ON MUTUAL GROUNDS - THIS FUCKIN GUY EXPECTS YOU TO HAVE A ROUGH TIME IN HIS “INDUSTRY” - AND THAT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO HOW REGARDING OR RATHER DISREGARDING OF *HUMANITY* SAID “INDUSTRY” ACTUALLY IS. DO NOT BE MISLED BY SUCH A RETARDED STATEMENT: WORKING TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE A COMMON OBJECTIVE THAT IS USEFUL FOR NURTURING MOTHER PLANET AND HER LIFE MUST *NEVER* INVOLVE AN EXPECTATION THAT YOU MUST “CHEW GLASS” TO BE INITIATED AND SUSTAINED. DO NOT EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME PANDERING TO A SICK FUCK LIKE THIS: INSTEAD, DO THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THESE SISYPHEAN IMBECILES ADVERTISE: STAY AWAY FROM MATERIALISM & CAPITALISM & THE DISGUSTINGLY DEGENERATE & MEAN COMPETITION AND DISCARD-ORIENTED PRACTICES AND INVEST YOUR TIME IN DEVELOPING BIOLOGICALLY-ALIGNED TECHNOLOGY THROUGH NATURAL MEANS, FOR AS YOU CAN SEE THE “INDUSTRY” THAT @alexisohanian DESCRIBES HAS ZERO PROOF IF NOT HAS OPPOSING PROOF THAT THE COMMUNICATION INVOLVED IN THE CAPITALIST+MATERIALIST-BASED “TECHNOLOGY ‘INDUSTRY’” DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO IMPROVE PHYSIOLOGICAL OUTCOMES ACROSS THE BIOLOGICAL REALM. IN REALITY, THE “PRACTICES” THAT THIS STUPID FUCKING GUY INTENDS TO HAVE YOU BECOME INVOLVED WITH ARE - AS THEY ARE FUNDAMENTALLY MATERIALIST IN NATURE - BASED IN A FUNDAMENTAL DESTRUCTION OF EARTH’S/GAIA’S GEOSPHERE FOLLOWED BY DISRUPTION OF BIOLOGICAL HOMEOSTASIS ON BEHALF OF SAID MATERIALIST “PRACTICES” NOT BEING COMPATIBLE WITH FULFILLMENT OF THE BIOLOGICAL, PHYSIOLOGICAL, EMOTIONAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL ETC NEEDS OF LIFE. - GENERAL RAMESSES II AKA ROMULUS AKA ALEXANDER III ARGAED AKA PTOLEMY XV CAESAR “CAESARION”/“JESUS CHRIST” AKA Amun-Ra (ANOTHER BLATANTLY AND OBVIOUSLY CARELESS STATEMENT CAN BE OBSERVED IN THE ATTACHED THREAD.)
@alexisohanian been doing this for 3 years and somehow still surprised by how much glass there is
@alexisohanian @elonmusk jensen has said as much in different words; many successful entrepreneurs have too 🙌
@alexisohanian Chewing glass daily to make youth sports more accessible @ReeplayerHQ
@alexisohanian Lol, apt. Have a high pain threshold for sure
@alexisohanian Feeling this intensely as I begin SOC 2 preparedness 😂
@alexisohanian Glass, knives, fire, acid, and occasional bombs. Yes, bombs exploding in your soul and you question everything while rolled up under your bed. But then things work out... Just keep going.
@alexisohanian Try owning a lot of $TSLA, the most glass chewing ever.
@alexisohanian Yummy. Now wire me $10m on an uncapped note.
@alexisohanian Four years into ours, still chewing daily. The glass doesn't get smaller, you just get better at swallowing it.
@alexisohanian Those shards keep getting sharper too 😂
