The headphones are the least insane thing about this construction project. Homie is buying up a residential neighborhood to turn it into a compound with its own private school inside of it.
But who hasn’t done that.

He could gift the planet by leaving Earth, possibly on one of his peer's rockets.
Anytime there's a movie about a robot being sent to space, it doesn't go well. I'm told molten metal works better.
the android this time, is zuckeberg.
Him and Mrbeast have that soulless stare. I want a vault tec style experiment where we put these guys in a bunker with a bunch of dangerous items that aren't weapons and just observe what happens. Musk can join too. I'm talking tools and stuff that these guys have absolutely no idea how to use. Basically manhunt without experience on how to use the tools or guidance on what to do. Allow them more than enough food to survive, but only basic ingredients like raw flour, no frozen pizzas or anything.
Theres a small piece of lead that could do the trick a whole lot cheaper
Like Mitt Romney so correctly stated: "They feel they are entitled to it!"
Except he stated it about people wanting health care! But the true astounding entitlement is with the rich, and with the really rich, it's mind boggling! They truly believe they DESERVE to be that rich, that they are ENTITLED to every extreme privilege they have!! But an ordinary person working two jobs barely deserve a home, food and health care?!
Remember the people are allowing this, we could change it easily if a majority really wanted to change it.
Complete lack of empathy displayed when trying to perform "empathy".
Yea it is like a litmus paper for psychopathy. "Here have some donuts to excuse the fact that I have been fucking up your peace for the last decade or so". Guy probably saw some parents handing candies in an airplane because their kid cried a lot and thought it applied to his case.
This is clearly just a big "fuck you" to his neighbors since they are probably filthy rich too if they are living next to him and would not have a problem buying noise cancelling headphones.
I don't think it is. I've rubbed shoulders with the 1% on a few occasions and they tend to give shit like this the way we give out candy. I've heard of little gift baggies worth over 1k distributed in large numbers, and me being impressed by that was surprising to the person talking about it. He acted like it was $30-$60 when he was talking. It's spending on a completely different scale. Headphones are not a statement. They're an afterthought.
Techno-Utopia means dehumanizing the mass of humanity.
"My compound is worth more than all of your weak biological ears."
Palo Alto has finally started to crack down on this nonsense. It's been a wealthy area for decades, but the behavior of these ultra rich freaks is hard for anyone to tolerate.
11 homes?
It’s crazier than you think

It’s not crazy. I too would buy up my neighbors properties for what equates to a few hundred dollars.
I would too, but then I would let those in need move in.
And that's why we'll never be billionaires.
Your empathy is the barrier.
A real man does not need a compound or a palace. And a castle will never make up for that face.
Maybe that's why he's trying to build a life underground.
Zuckerberg has spent more than $110 million purchasing at least 11 homes on Edgewood Drive and Hamilton Avenue over the past 14 years,
Disgusting.
Underneath the compound, Zuckerberg added 7,000 square feet of space described as “basements,” which to area residents are more akin to “bunkers” or a “billionaire’s bat cave.” Zuckerberg similarly added a 5,000-square-foot underground structure to his compound in Hawaii, which he insists is not a “doomsday bunker.”
Extraordinarily Wasteful. Selfish. Parasitic.
In 2016, Palo Alto officials rejected a proposal to demolish four homes and replace them with smaller houses and large basements as part of a wider compound. While the city denied the specific application, Zuckerberg ultimately proceeded gradually, undertaking similar work in a piecemeal fashion to avoid further regulatory hurdles. The Palo Alto City Council and some residents have since criticized what they describe as the exploitation of zoning loopholes and the city’s regulatory inaction.
Move fast, break things. Do whatever the fuck you want. No one can stop your money.
Some of these properties that were recently purchased sit unoccupied, despite being in a region known for its acute housing shortage
Outright evil.
If I had that money, I would have a doomsday bunker too, probably not 11 of them though.
Be Mr. House and set up a missile defense system, not bunkers.
If the US's military industrial complex hasn't been able to figure that out, I seriously wonder if the Zuck is able to figure it out with his wealth
Well trump wants a "golden dome" which will never happen. First of all, our country is far too large to make that even remotely feasible. And second, if anyone attacks us, it'll be with weapons far more advanced than the iron dome is capable of dealing with. Their enemies use old tech that can be mostly defeated with a system like that in a small enough area. That just doesn't work for a country as big as the US. Especially when talking of drone swarms and (real) hypersonic missiles.
Those are bunkers. All the techbro billionaires are into bunkers.
That's it. From now on I dedicate my life to siphoning as much money from these unethical soulless bastards as possible to divert it to society-beneficial non-profits. More Linux, more skateparks, better education, more affordable housing, universal healthcare, et cetera. Never have I ever loathed one person so much as Mark Zuckerberg.
🎅 “Yippee ki-yay, motherfucker.”
⚜︎ arscyni.cc: modernity ∝ nature.
I heard that he has dummy homes between his real home in order to prevent anyone with telescopes or binoculars from ever actually being able to see into his real residence. I also heard that he deliberately camouflages it in order to cover it up from satellite and aerial views.
This is the guy who absolutely wants to demolish everyone's privacy except for his own. He guards his own like his life and soul depend on it.
One to mix the kool aid, one to serve the kool aid, nine for the kool aid servers to sleep in while preparing for the crowds coming to drink the kool aid...
Go go gadget guillotine

We don't need to build guillotines this time. They're digging their own graves. Bury them and starve them in their tombs.
I'm so hungry for billionaires.
Big deal. Some tech company slipped him a bunch of earbuds to kiss his ass. One of those houses is probably full of all the free shit that corporations send him.
He could have given each neighbor a new SUV, but instead he gave them some old promotional earbuds from some Facebook managers' meeting.
Were I a neighbor (with a lot of money) in this situation, I think I'd be waiting until Zuck tries to use those properties, then registering my neighboring properties via overseas shell corporations and starting a Cuban Embassy infra-sound attack regime, right up to the limits of what's legally "acceptable" for construction noise limits - shutting it off as the cops approach the neighborhood, then restarting it at random times every day for as long as this construction is taking. When a formal complaint is filed, document return of the noise cancelling headphones as "obvious adequate relief."
Read it as "grifted", I think my subconscious is trying to say something... Anyway, trying to solve with money a problem you do not understand nor care about seems on brand.
I bet he just wanted to slip a listening device into their homes to hear what they say about him.
Thing is, they need to bring their help and the help won't be happy if their families are left high and dry. These people are just too fucking stupid
They probably have a small group of people whom they treat very well specifically so they won't shoot them in the back once they're the only ones with the guns in post-apocalyptic world.
Destroy their oxygen intakes. Job done.
Fart into it. Make them suffer.
Maybe a more potent gas could do the trick.
If the Hitman games taught me anything, is that a single bottle of poison (the type that you can comfortably fit in your pocket) is sufficient to kill an entire building of people if you get it into the ventilation system.
This is weirdly similar in many ways to Dungeon Crawler Carl. Dwindling numbers of people, digging ever deeper... Different in most other ways, but I'm a little obsessed right now.
They made interconnected ones during covid, fallout irl. They have private islands with stem cell clinics. Adam devine talks about how he goes to one on the workaholics podcast since they give way more than the dose you can get in the US.
I legit think that is their game plan, to enact wealth based population control. Millionaires become the new working poor and billionaires become bunker lords. Everyone else just dies
If they want to go hide in a hole, that's fine by me. It'll presumably be simple enough to just seal it up completely.
The best idea is to get some Japanese knotweed. Have every neighbor plant it and then put their properties up for sale. People have committed suicide over that being so destructive to property. Once discovered, no insurance company will touch him. By the the time he figures it out, that hell of a nightmare plant will have begun to grow up his soul. Honestly, people could do that with all investor properties, or those of other bad citizens. War is upon us.
Also, arsenic, lead, radioactive material, poison ivy, poison sumac, ragweed, poison oak, hornet, bees, bajillions of mice. There are an infinite amount of things that can be done to fight the bigger pest.
They could also use ultrasonic pulses through compression drivers pointed at his house constantly and see if he goes nuts. I'd have more fun from the headphone threat than if he just left me alone personally. Hell, I'd trade houses with one of these folks just for that entertainment.
He'll just move. It won't be a big deal for him.
To another neighborhood with 11 homes? Didn't those take 14 years? That weed is a slow growing catastrophe. He'll put lots of work in before it's discovered as a problem. And then when he finally leaves, fuck him. Who cares? He as a whole neighborhood that's fucking worthless.
so why is the world not over run with this one plant?
Because it's illegal as fuck to take it over state lines. If you research the conservation material or whatever, they often have a map of exactly where someone has found it so they can keep an eye on it.
so how do that stop it?
Is it worse than running bamboo?
Wow just looked up knotweed and its edible and actually contains a shit load of reservatrol.
All those neighbors will be fucked over too.
