You completely forgot:
"Actually just monetizes somethign that already existed for free"
Though I guess Ads is already the free space.

But it's new and better! Just ask our huge team of three programmers and thirty marketing geniuses.
I would add "people blame programmers and CS majors instead of rich dudes for some reason."
My code only gets me one square :(
(Doesn't work)
So if someone says Windows, everybody gets a Bingo somehow?
The "bug causes death" thing can be ticked for everything safety critical. Starts with the small electronics in an elevator.
Are they making elevators without mechanical fail-safes now?
Getting real SAO Abridged vibes here
do i create a new tech alt on some short form content site? or is there an intended way to use the bingo board
skynut will 100% be a thing meta makes
This is fucking hilarious
Somewhat unrelated but… can anyone define "rich"? How much money before one is deemed rich? Where is the line drawn between rich and non-rich?
Here's a couple of good starting points for the line:
if you have to sell your time/labour for money, you're not rich.
if you can take a day off and not need to tell anyone about it and not lose money because of it, you're rich.
That's a really poor metric, because that encompasses many salaried jobs.
But yes, it's ultimately just about whether or not you are selling your time for money, or if you have acquired enough money to exploit the labor of others to make yourself more money without doing anything yourself.
Most people with salaried jobs are not rich
That's what I'm saying.
Is your main income through capital or labour. That simple. Always been.
You're middle class if you're still working for your money. You're rich when your money works for you.
A $5 million a year actor/athlete still has to work; they are also paying for their trainers, agents, dietitians, clothes etc. They are upper middle class.
A trust fund baby with an income of $1 million a year is the rich one. imho.
Bought the gov means you're rich.
It's more vibes-based than anything else
Except that the rich know who to bribe with campaign contributions.
Look at Ronald Reagan. As an actor, he was not a giant star. Plenty of folks got a higher salary. Reagan lucked into a job as spokesman for General Electric, at the time one of the biggest companies in the world. Reagan hung out with the big shots and introduced them to his Hollywood buddies; in return he got stock tips and investment opportunities that made him rich.
I was looking for "buzzword soup website doesn't say what the product fucking does"
Maybe that wouldn't fit in a square
Happens often with GitHub projects as well. It's that or "it expands on the capabilities of BLARG by making it easier to use" - doesn't explain the changes

I was scrolling through job postings today and came across one that read like this. I was confused -> clicked the link -> saw a picture of two oil rig workers -> genuinely said "Ah, oil!" out loud -> and closed the web page.
They try to hide behind green washing and jargon. It happened to me at a university career fair a few months ago, too.
the only possible way this could be worse was if it was called CloudChain and also had weird blockchain/crypto nonsense.
Chat, is this real?
Oh, that CloudBox...
It's so perfectly terrible 🥹
A game of Bingo requires several players to have different cards. That would be on another card. Other possible entries:
- Uses recently popular buzzword tech for no reason.
- Uses an always-on internet connection and multiple server farms to perform a function that ran locally on a Palm V PDA in 1997
- Isn't legal in the EU

What apps only work for straight white guys?
Plenty of stuff that works much better for white guys that speak English and with the right accent, because that's who they are mostly trained on (image/speech recognition, spell check and translation, lots of medical stuff but that's not very tech). Not sure about straight.
Edit: oh the image said cis, not straight. That's easier.
Tinder?
Does truth social have an app?
