Yes, and the lead being buried in OP being the headline (and most of the rest of the article around the paragraph you quoted):

Neuralink’s first implant partly detached from patient’s brain

Some of the threads connecting the chip to the brain began to retract. The Elon Musk-owned company did not explain why

The patient, Noland Arbaugh, underwent surgery in February to attach a Neuralink chip to his brain, but the device’s functionality began to decrease within the month after his implant.

Really burying the lead there…

For anyone who is unfamiliar with these and wants a more in depth look at how Roblox is definitely exploiting kids (from 2 years ago, so you know it’s somehow been made worse since)

Investigation: How Roblox Is Exploiting Young Game Developers

Roblox Pressured Us to Delete Our Video. So We Dug Deeper.

Greed.

I never said men who can’t get matched are creeps, I said this is aimed at creeps who can’t get matched but would be willing to pay $500 a month to force themsleves on to others. That’s who you’re jumping to the defence of here.

Except what they’re all “playing” for are people (and lets be honest, this is aimed at creepy men who can’t get matched otherwise, so more specifically they’re “playing” for women), with their own wants and needs and often safety concerns, all of which this serves to circumvent, which is definitely not how you “win” at tinder (finding an abuse victim? Sure, but not an actual viable relationship. Which again, tells you who this was designed for and why).

Hyperbole cuts both ways.

you’re the only one talking about people making up shit
also your language (" because they are angry about being expected to do their job") gives away your agenda instantly and shows just how out of touch and/or brainwashed by corporate media you are.

Talk about bad faith lmfao…

I didn’t think you intended any malice, it’s just the way we frame things is important and our words have impact, which is why I pointed it out.

All I intended was to mock Musk for being the stereotypical macho asshole who can’t accept the end of a relationship with dignity.

next time you can just say that, it’s accurate and places the blame where it belongs!

Still he can go fuck himself.

absolutely, I’m in no way trying to defend him here, it’s just about trying to focus on the right thing and not play in to already damaging stereotypes (the “gay/rans panic” defence is where this particular one ends up).

You’re doing great!

If I find out my company is a piece of shit I’m leaving

that’s a really privileged position to be in that billions of others don’t have

(don’t feel the need to add any more, @viq has it more than covered! 👍)

expect consequences when you get caught talking shit.

Sure, to a point.
Ever wonder why they never fire the bigot before they go public? The bigots I’ve met in life have really sucked at keeping their mask on, do you really think their employers (and fellow employees) were oblivious? Or was it only when there was publicity involved and the company feared for their own reputation, rather than the safety of their other employees, that they do something about it?
Yet if you tweet “my boss sucks”, it probably won’t go viral or get any publicity, but your employer can just as easily fire you for “talking shit” that literally didn’t cause harm to anyone.

You specified:

If you found your friend talking shit about you

Meaning if the company found you talking shit about it, and the fact that you think your employer can and should have that level of control over your thoughts and actions is actually terrifying.

yeah, could we maybe not frame it as “trans people hurt him so he’s lashing out” type nonsense?
Not only is it false (he was like this long before that, you just had to be paying attention), but it also provides fuel to transphobes, who already make up enough, but we don’t need to hand them more.

I don’t know what kind of friends you have, but your employer is not your friend, nor your family.
They are there to exploit your labour for profit, and will only ever defend themselves, never you.

(this isn’t to say I agree with musk or anything, fuck him and anything he does, and fuck the bigots, they deserve consequences to their actions, but the idea that anyone would defend their boss like they would defend a friend makes me sad and angry and massively frustrated. Those contracts Karlos mentioned are 100% ass covering by a company that is more concerned with its reputation than it is with its employees, which when you consider we live in capitalism is to be expected, but it still seems to escape so so many people - 99% of employers don’t give two shits about you, including, and maybe especially, those who are really good at convincing you that they value “loyalty”)
