"they got rid of woke and now Switch2 will cost PS5 prices and ps6 will cost gaming PC prices" is just a perfect lesson to get hammered into the heads of Gamers(tm)

Love this for them.

At the beginning of this, someone said that what's going to happen is, "Tech CEOs come in and try to get rid of 'inefficiencies'; society learns that inefficiency is load-bearing"

And that has stuck with me.

I remember shaun made that comment specifically about Musk and twitter - that he'd try to overhaul everything because it was "woke" only to discover that it was just a business trying to make money and hvae to reinvent all the things he got rid of

It's very efficient to not do something but that means you end up paying for it harder later.

incompletemachine.bsky.social•1 day ago

i think the lesson here is 'buisness people are out of touch nepo-babies, and when they say inefficiency they means basic government functions like maintaining roads'

changa.gay•1 day ago

Oh god every company I ever worked at was inefficient and always bordering on falling a part at the seams. So I have always heard the term "Running X like a business" with deep suspicion.

incompletemachine.bsky.social•1 day ago

if you want people to be efficient you need to treat them well, but these people don't have that concept

Go anti-woke go broke.

💰lode 💰bearing

transsalamander.bsky.social•1 day ago

The woke, in a sense, was always lode-bearing, but having the stark changes of planes falling out of the sky and the stock market in free fall just a couple months into the president going on a woke crusade is the kind of perfect timing you'd only expect in movies.

transsalamander.bsky.social•1 day ago

Fuckin I thought I was being clever, but nope, this is what I get for posting before being fully awake

Like I don't even need to scroll past the AI answer, of course lode means ore, I already know that's right

oishinythings.bsky.social•1 day ago

Look, I'm quite willing to try piling some rocks on the economy if anyone thinks it might help. It's worth a go.

hyenablood.yeen.world•1 day ago

no this still works, it's "lode" in a mineral vein way the way I need to shoot the schadenfreude into my veins.

bexone.bsky.social•1 day ago

Right, like “the mother lode” colloquialism kinda makes it work both ways here

kiwired.bsky.social•1 day ago

Only assholes make a fuss about pre-caffeine word choices.

bexone.bsky.social•1 day ago

In just this context it kinda also works though

crobruncato.bsky.social•1 day ago

Your point is still solid!
(and in my case, glass houses, rocks, etc)

When it comes to memes you've found the motherload 😜

I'm European, so whenever a native American English speaker makes a mistake like that I tend to assume it's just the American spelling.

transsalamander.bsky.social•1 day ago

lol I do that with British spelling/pronunciation

austerity.bsky.social•1 day ago

Look if a hot domme asks me to carry a bunch of ore I'd be lode bearing

dei actually stands for
dei = da economy improves

saikoraccoon.bsky.social•1 day ago

Unsurprisingly this is turning out to be the most expensive “I told you so” of my life, but I’ll still say it:

I. FUCKING. Told you! (Directed at my dad who said Trump wouldn’t tariff our allies, and that I was being silly.)

clight.bsky.social•1 day ago

Absolutely love the idea of Lode-Bearing Woke! 🙏

strwbrryjen.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hi chat... can I get context?

greenrotom.bsky.social•1 day ago

Original from XKCD, hopefully you get the paralle.l

transsalamander.bsky.social•1 day ago

No, because no further context is needed?

isadora.nekoweb.org•1 day ago

???Very much needed to me, I'm unsure how "woke" connects to stock markets? From what I can tell stuff is going down because of something pertaining to "woke" today/yesterday but I can't tell what that is?

transsalamander.bsky.social•1 day ago

Planes are falling out of the sky and the stock market is in free fall immediately after a president started an anti-woke crusade.

Are these things DIRECTLY connected? Yes and no. For the most part, they're connected in that the fascists are trying to destroy everything.

transsalamander.bsky.social•1 day ago

People on the left and right are jokingly saying that the woke was load-bearing. That's an oversimplification, and an amusing one at that, but it's not literal, mostly.

andraste.fuckbgp.com•1 day ago

the right took over the government and stripped out all the "woke", and the economy tanked afterwards

andraste.fuckbgp.com•1 day ago

"go woke or go broke" is good context, imo

transsalamander.bsky.social•1 day ago

The image shows that tho lol
