This is what I hate about the homunculi of twitter company personalities. “Hahaa, did you see the way Walmart clapped back at IBM?“ Humanizing vast, faceless companies puppeted by sociopathic business majors triggers every rage response that my body can muster. Please, shut the fuck up

[Off-topic] Your display name is hilarious. It reminds me old viruses with double extensions, like hotpix.jpg.vbs

[-] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago

Thanks, I always hope people get a little giggle out of the momentary confusion. I’m surprised whenever people are legitimately fooled. Just click my name, I’m @gullible, you silly billies!

[-] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

I assume its not showing your set name on voyager?

[-] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

I don’t want anyone to miss out on the fun. [email protected]@sh.itjust.works should be what’s visible. Out of curiosity, does voyager offer the ability to change your display name?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

Shows like this on jerboa

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Ah! The threads.net tag, nice.

Doesn’t seem to have the option to change or set one

Why is Voyager like this? People are missing out some brilliant user names.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Like your reference to the meme? It's a rather cool way to do it through emojis.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Can't say I came up with it. I think I saw it on /r/collapse first.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Ohhey a fellow Voyager user!

I was also missing out on all the fun :/ lol

You got me last week, I did a double-take.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I think Boobzilla is an excellent one

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Damn, that got me! I was about to comment being like "woah! We get threads here?" when I finally noticed.

If every MBA on the planet were suddenly teleported to Planet MBA....would anyone really miss them?

[-] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

Make sure not to unknowingly send the telephone cleaners too.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

There goes the planet...

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Or the advertising account executives.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

You could make a religion out of that

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Hail LinkedIn, full of grace.

Not sure if typo, but hilariously accurate

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

That was, in fact, the joke. :)

unrelated but "the homunculus of Twitter" is a good nickname for Elon

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Now I'm having visions of the high priestess X'twitterquatl sacrificing Mayan children on a pyramid as lightning flashes in an attempt to animate their engine of destruction; The Homonculus of X'twitter.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

People propagate this though. Company twitter accounts posting derivative meme shit is what people reshare. Most people consider Apple/Tesla/Pelaton/Nintendo to be their buddies and love it when their buddy seems like a down to earth, regular guy. It's cringe.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I'll start believing brands are people when they start getting jailed for their (numerous) crimes.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

i wish they would all act like the faceless industrial complexes out there

you don't see this from stuff like Caterpillar

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Show me where Walmart hurt you.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago

Points to the desolate wasteland of dead small businesses and underpaid workers subsisting on welfare unable to even afford shopping at walmart

You guys really need to have some effective government that will enact normal minimal wage and anti monopoly laws. But I wonder if the most people are poor then why they don’t vote for a party that represents them and wants to raise or set minimum wage (whichever applies)?

The logic says that everyone should vote for someone that will better their conditions and yet it looks like there’s some weird shit going on where only well off, rich people vote left (whatever left means in the specific county). It’s completely backwards

I vote left too and classic example of this and honestly I think I won’t next time cause it is not in my interest. Though centrist party here would probably be something like warren in USA

Actually I remember now why I find these comments jarring is because I don’t live in the USA so I don’t have this inherent hate for capitalism but it is understandable in that context or anywhere where people are stuck in quasi democratic situation of permanent superliberal gov thanks to two party system

People won't vote for them because they "can't win", and they can't win because people won't vote for them. It's a self-perpetuating cycle.

Consider 3 candidates running for president right now: Jill Stein, Kamala Harris, and Donald Trump. Jill Stein has a platform of raising the minimum wage, healthcare guaranteed as a human right, and a bunch of other awesome stuff. Harris has almost no platform at all, but she has vibes. And Trump wants to have a Christian dictatorship and deport millions of people.

Stein is the only one of these 3 candidates who wants to raise the minimum wage, but she's only polling at 1%, and people don't want to vote for her because they're afraid that Trump will win.

I understand but still it is hilarious when people blame some Walmart of all things as a consequence. The evil Walmart regime

I’m allowed to hate things I’m not part of. My silent malice does little to dissuade folks from posting examples to lemmy
