The whole speech is actually pretty good. He struck a chord when he said:

Make sure your offline world is better than your online one.

    I’ve seen his speech everywhere. I’m kinda surprised they had him do the speech, or they just didn’t know what they were getting when they signed him on. He’s not the typical speaker they have. Sure, some speakers have historically sorta strayed from conventional paths to take a few shots at social issues, but it’s most always reeled back in to “you are the future” niceties.

    Ronny just unapologetically ripped on all kinds of issues.

    It was great.

    I'm in the UK and it's working. You sure it's not an issue between whatever your home instance is and lemmy.zip?

    These are really good jabs. And I wholeheartedly agree. Also, some people delegate to AI and their skills shrivel like raisins.

    Becoming a lib? John Stewart has been very liberal since he first aired. His whole shtick with colbert was he was the lib to colbert’s fake over the top conservative persona.

    The Ellison's had to go like $89 billion into debt to make this merger,

    Not really. They have the money. It's not like they borrowed it from the bank, and now they have to make a go of this new business, or the family goes bankrupt, and the kids can't go to college. They've probably already replaced the money they spent.

    You're thinking like a regular person. It's not like they really spent money on anything. They made a deal to acquire an enormous revenue stream. Is it really spending money, when you convert a few billion dollars into trillions of dollars until the end of time?

    In regular people terms, it's like if I saved up $100 and spent it to buy shares of an index fund. Yeah, it's going to take a while to make back the money I spent, but those $100 didn't just disappear. I can sell those shares and get back approximately what I originally spent on it.
