**The Struggle is Real: Designing Laugh-out-Loud Moments**

Designing a "Laugh-out-Loud" (LOL) feature, often referred to as the most frustrating aspect of Facebook, can be a daunting task. The goal is to create an experience that brings joy and amusement to users, but how do you capture that elusive essence? According to Christa, designer behind this feature, it's "one of those features that shouldn't even exist" with no good design for it. This sentiment echoes the frustrations of many Facebook users who have attempted to navigate this feature without success.

Zuckerberg, on the other hand, seems to be missing out on the humor. As someone whose "robot interior" is allegedly much older than his physical body, he may not fully comprehend the complexities of human humor and wit. His attempts at understanding the appeal of LOL moments are admirable, but perhaps a bit misguided.

The design process itself has been a challenge, with many designers struggling to come up with a compelling solution. One aspect that has received criticism is the lack of clear guidelines for what constitutes an effective LOL moment. This has led to inconsistent results and users who may not find the experience as enjoyable as they had hoped.

**Facebook's Portal: A Review Controversy**

In another recent development, Facebook employees have been found to be leaving glowing reviews for Facebook's portal device on Amazon. The portal is essentially a camera-enabled screen that allows users to make video calls with loved ones. While this feature may seem appealing, some critics argue that it raises concerns about data collection and surveillance.

According to internal emails obtained by Twitter, the employees in question were allegedly given permission to leave reviews, despite Amazon's policy prohibiting employees from reviewing their own company's products. The emails claimed that there was no internal collusion behind the glowing reviews, but one can't help but wonder if this is simply a case of over-zealousness on the part of Facebook enthusiasts.

**Twitter Addiction**

For social media enthusiast Wendell, Twitter has become an indispensable tool. Despite recognizing his own addiction to the platform, he refuses to install the official app due to concerns about data collection and surveillance. This decision reflects the complexities of online interactions and the challenges of maintaining a healthy digital balance.

Wendell's experiences with Twitter are not unique. Many users have reported similar struggles with the platform, from feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information to worrying about the potential risks associated with sharing personal thoughts online. As social media continues to evolve, it's essential that we develop strategies for mitigating these risks and promoting healthy digital habits.

**The Challenges of Harmful Content**

One of the most pressing issues facing social media platforms today is the spread of harmful content, such as the "Bird Box Challenge" or the "Tide Pods Challenge." These challenges often have devastating consequences, ranging from physical harm to emotional trauma. In response, YouTube has implemented strict guidelines for identifying and removing such content.

However, despite these efforts, some users continue to find ways to circumvent these restrictions. This highlights the need for ongoing monitoring and improvement of content moderation policies. As platforms navigate this delicate balance between free expression and harm reduction, it's essential that we prioritize the safety and well-being of their users.

**Designing for Humanity**

As we delve deeper into the world of social media design, it becomes clear that there is still much to be learned about what makes us tick. Designers like Christa are working tirelessly to create experiences that resonate with humans, but even the most well-intentioned solutions can fall short.

The hot water challenge, bird box challenge, and Helen Keller variation are just a few examples of the often-harmful content that has spread online. While platforms have made efforts to crack down on these challenges, there is still much work to be done. As we continue to push the boundaries of social media design, it's essential that we prioritize empathy, understanding, and a deep respect for human complexity.

**Nonsense and Robots**

In a world where robots are increasingly integrated into our daily lives, it's fascinating to consider what might happen when humans and machines interact in the most intimate ways. Tommy, a fellow designer, has made headlines with his attempts to create an AI-powered platform that can design social media experiences on its own.

While this idea may seem like science fiction, it raises interesting questions about the role of humanity in the design process. As we move further into the age of automation, will our designs become increasingly soulless and devoid of emotion? Or will we find new ways to harness the power of technology to create experiences that are more authentic and meaningful?

The answer, much like laughter itself, remains elusive. But one thing is certain: as social media continues to evolve, it's essential that we prioritize design that is both functional and humane.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello friends today is January 23rd and it's level one news day again what topics I immediately forgot business and social media what's going on in the business world well Tesla Ron you know me I love you start with Tesla and what are they doing they're cutting I don't know so CNBC says Tesla's talk has sunk after cutting 7% of its workforce five experts weigh in on what's next but you know I read the article I didn't really see this as that negative I mean I got they get the model 3 production up and running you know I read another article that talked about how Toyota's like evey production is actually pretty hurt by model 3 sales a lot of people are opting for the model 3 over like what Toyota is doing which seems pretty positive well I think we have to admit that Tesla is number one in electric vehicles I mean yeah I can't argue against that as much as we don't like you on mice good C itself does like it's pretty successful the question is can they hold on to that number1 position and maybe this story out of CNBC evil invention Tesla has 920 million dollars in debt that is coming - coming - March 1st and it could wipe out a large chunk of the company's cash so if the stock price is not over like $360 by then they have to pay it out of their cash and they've only got about 3 billion in cash right now 350 987 and I think their current stock price is like 310 320 yeah and on a downtrend because of the layoffs so what can they do my office is a bad faith oh look can they between now and March to recover that stock price so lots of cars lots and lots of lots of cars how is that it's the end of winter a strong car buying period I wouldn't think it would be I don't want do people buy cars it's a good question I mean when they have to that's yeah I'll say I waited until I drove mine like the wheels were falling off the car did not survive the winter yeah it could be well after winter we got layoffs we talked about layoffs and SpaceX last week Elson Tesla this week perhaps musk is pairing those down to work harder on his newest venture neuro-link a future with Elon Musk's neural link and so this is just an article about neural link so it's a chip he wants to implant to give you a direct interface to the computer but in your head yeah because you know your eyes and ears fingers are too slow Crysta right this stock photo I want to give this a solid like two out of ten I don't like it either no I this is a picture with scrolled past on a stock photo site and laugh at and be like what does this have to do with what I looked up yeah so most claims that when questioned about the insanity of this venture he says you already use your phone like this right it doesn't want to do anything different than what your phone does he just wants to skip the slow interface of finger screen.i brain just wants to pump that information straight in okay what could possibly go wrong I mean they kind of have technology sort of like this where like they have the thing where like if you're comatose or you can't move like you can say yes or no it's a computer screen but like that's even that is like extremely expensive and it requires like a lot of work to do yeah it's like how is that gonna be any faster if you're physically capable of I built it he eg once where I could play tux racer where you basically like lean left or right yeah it wasn't it was fun it was like wow this is cool and then I didn't care anymore yeah it seems like such a weird novelty this went from like tweet to real company like a week as well here's what I think you know how we're always talking about how musk and Bezos are like you know the new super villains and I think what's gonna happen here is musk is gonna draft Ray Kurzweil to spearhead this because you know he wants to be a robot so bad and then he's gonna use that to control Kurzweil evil genius or neutral genius and make him an evil henchman but then you know like the good guys will eventually like to feed him and deprogram him and then he'll fight for good mmm cuz that's such a common comic book story well see if you added like a love triangle in there preferably a gay one I'd say that'd be a great fan fiction it is Kurzweil I don't think he's gay no I don't think so but like that doesn't matter in fanfiction world but he like you know one of his weaknesses will be he has to get his daily vitamins or he loses his powers thanks like the five hundred five months of day it would be funny if he dies in liver failure oh that would be lazy well no because of all the pills that he takes any funnier yeah it does look amazing I'm just in a while but that documentary fair as old as he was yeah maybe I should start looking to what he's doing because it's like I'm starting to sort of feel the easy you know getting older things you start to fall apart it doesn't sound like a fun lifestyle I'll tell you one thing I guarantee he doesn't do and start every newscast with a raspberry chocolate or bag of in other words well I get excited for you guys excited there is there's a new CPU coming she's hot she's hungry and she's not for you the intel core I'm 999 90 XE up to 5 gigahertz oxygen only so and in techie and coaches brings this article yeah the ninety nine ninety is not eighteen course it's fourteen course but it's gonna be five gigahertz and system integrators can buy it on oxygen 255 watt TDP and it's not available for sale for the public only system integrators are gonna buy it who's it for high-frequency traders that's who it's for that's why it's auction and that's why it is insanely fast and the power requirements don't matter because it's literally going to be printing money no attempting to at least pretty much what we talked about Apple's phone replacement program and they didn't want to do it the batter they didn't like it and probably cost some money and now we know about how much it cost them yeah we've covered several stories on this this is fascinating but this also like so Apple replaced 11 million iPhone batteries on his $29 program the reports say but if you think back to that shareholder call with Tim Cook now you know why there was such terror in his voice like if you just listen to him the things that go unsaid he seemed terrified of repairs the first time that Apple has ever mentioned repair might be eating into sales 11 million people opted to repair their old iPhone that is what ate into their sales and so there is a very real need to repair these electronics but secondly it's also viable to repair these electronics like I think this is their inevitably it's gonna be this massive legal court battle know how long will it be before they just start upping the price of the batteries well I mean that would be the easiest solution yeah but then they can't like if their battery is so much more expensive than someone else doing it with an off-brand battery then they can't make the argument they're the they're already seizing batteries that are not necessarily marked Apple but just say Apple compatible and that it's like as counterfeit for importing you got to think if the number was 11 million at least that's at least 3 million lost sales yeah at least that's a lot of iPhones this is a there's a lot of iPhones when your profit margin on an iPhone is what like forty to sixty percent so you're looking at like four or five hundred million dollars at least yeah that you just flushed down the drain with your stupid program we wanted to see how it would go we wanted to crush all these repair people and it's like oh it turns out that a lot of people want to repair their electronic because it turns out they're big investments well not just that they're big investments but the software is not advancing at such a rate as to demand a new hardware well 2019 continues the trend of being just under siege of fake phone calls phone spam I got called me other day and he didn't say he's like I answer the phone and I said hello and he was like yeah I was like what what do you want I was like dude you called me because like I think you know that you've remember was on my phone I don't even bother trying to explain it to him cuz you're such an but that's what you get because they're spoofing your calls well if you're a Verizon customer maybe some relief Engadget has the article Verizon will give subscribers free access to anti-ro beau call tools March yeah this is if somehow that's gonna take a whole another month together see the thing with faked caller ID is that if it's a randomized number you know maybe this can detect that but then they're just gonna pick more realistic randomized numbers it's I can't wear what they call it but they've got something that claim will fight that stir shaking I'm not sure exactly how that works but I'm gonna get it March so I guess we'll see they actually offer this already but you have to subscribe to it's like three dollars a month but everybody gets it more so what do you writin doesn't actually want to get rid of spam that's what you're telling me if they can turn it into a profit center well the door didn't work out is it what's the movie about this where the guy was selling weapons to both sides well that's a conspiracy theory about the Illuminati well they yeah you talk about Verizon and we did have the deregulation of the text messages and a lot of people said we need this to fight spam and a lot of people said you know a lot of good text messages are gonna be caught a mr. who's a good text message er well that's up for debate I don't know if I agree with this is good or not but for other charges new spam fees for texts as sent from students to teachers all the way around well from teachers to students yet remind is the company it says it must end free text messages for Verizon users because of the new fee so Verizon is charging companies in order for their text messages to make it this might be a good way to explain that neutrality to normies because you you know you have a service and you receive text messages and you want this service but Verizon is not gonna let this service reach you unless Verizon also gets paid now you you're already paying for your phone you should be able to receive messages but Verizon is saying no this we're gonna you send a lot of text messages we're gonna charge you a fee to do that I don't think that should be I don't think that should be legal this particular program was like if a teacher said like oh you have a field trip coming up they would send a reminder text the students that night it was assignment do whatever could be very questionable whether or not the students actually want these text messages yeah do you think mind has ever unknowingly been you know a part of one of these female teachers seducing the young boys I think it would send a mass text your entire class right not just it you can target it you probably create little groups oh well it's not as super turned-on young boys I keep telling us like dude you gotta quit searching for that on Google but well the we talked about the the bounty hunter buying location data that's been a big story and one by one the big phone companies are bowing down and this week is no different sprint to stop selling location they do the third parties after the motherboard investigation now this headline is from January 16th 2019 just wanna make clear that they also said they were gonna stop selling location data in June of 2018 which did not happen I think no I think they did stop selling it to that one prison company that's so this time we're gonna stop selling it to the bounty hunters no next time you're gonna be like hey they already did that know there'll be someone else that they're selling it to that's different that's different yeah well it'll be four here's an engagement challenge are you one of the few the proud the Windows 10 mobile users Microsoft has suggested that Windows 10 mobile users switch to iOS or Android as support winds down yeah this is a dead platform I don't know when those phones were so really a thing I don't know anyone who owns a Windows Phone Microsoft literally murdered Nokia the indestructible phone company their phones are indestructible and Microsoft killed them from within well they you know their shield was down I trusted them they're asleep if Microsoft literally said Hugh back to the Borg and it destroyed the collective I this is great that they're killing off this phone but can they just kill off I 11 to cause me more headache I live and we've learned that government still like to use it yeah it's bad scary well Netflix is a juggernaut we all know we all know powerful they are but we didn't know exactly how powerful because they don't release numbers but they have given us one little tease it has captured 10% of all TV time in the US and discloses some colossal numbers for shows according to CNBC so I think this is done strategically ahead of some pretty substantial price hikes because their stock is going to tank after those price hikes yes and those big numbers they announced were what they are going to pay in the coming year for shows it's a lot it's astronomical but how are they gonna pay for it well how are you gonna pay for it Netflix raise prices and the stock has soared so I think this is this is a temporary situation I think it's gonna go down a whole bunch but after people are like what I mean they just abandoned eight to nine for the the pleb tier level 13 for the normy and 14 to 16 for that 4k deliciousness I got rid of Netflix maybe six months ago and I haven't really missed it I'm thinking about it I'm thinking of because I mean I'm on the I guess I'm on the $14 tier now and that's like what really I was paying like I think 11 or 12 I just wasn't using it enough to warn it I think the problem is like if I were the business development people in Netflix I would be looking at like the cable TV people because the cable TV people are racing toward $200 a month and people are cutting the cord like crazy so if you're coming if you're a new subscriber on Netflix and you're not used to the lower price and you're coming from cable TV I don't think you're gonna be happy even if it was like $25 a month I think you would be happy maybe they've given a lot of longtime subscribers yeah a lot of the longtime subscribers will be super upset but what I will do is when I started out doing I'll just buy gift cards yeah so that I can take months off now if they really want to have their cake and eat it too they should announce that those prices apply to existing customers but new customers are gonna be $25 a month and then everybody will not cancel their their subscription to avoid getting me higher fees but then they'll also just share their accounts and then resell there yeah resale oh that's a cool idea we can deal with that technologically maybe I don't know I do I say that I'm going to get rid of Netflix and I'm thinking about it but I was a lot of that they Punisher season yesterday I was that out I watched the first season it was okay I liked it really I really like the first season this is the thing I loved about the first season as it didn't waste your time story pretty decent story and then just shooting guns I feel like Stanley was standing over the riders because I got yeah I got the same thing and Stanley was like look this is the Punisher he punishes things and then they would start to go I know no this is the funnest yet he punishes things he hasn't killed anybody in like 20 minutes the first episode of the season two is just steaming pile of it is absolutely unwatchable there's almost no killing people in it it's all just like this backstory Miller's like a little romance and the the dialogue speed has been at least halves in season two like they're just staring each other pensively and talking slowly and I don't know what happened to that's it speaking of things becoming slow and unexpectedly watered down could that be true for the f-series TechCrunch says the article could ford's iconic f-series trucks no it's not a question are calling electric they still be crappy it's not it's not a question it's actually gonna so is this why they're parking and Tesla superchargers no they're doing that just because they're asking us those are gas ones these ones haven't been released yet but I know I don't know enough about the we know the electric motors directly in the wheels are faster and goldfishes ours well they're faster too like the Model S is I don't know how much it weighs but it's a super-fast car for the price but for like super duty towing and hauling are they as good mmm so you can get insane torque but tort is the hauling end of the yeah horsepower for top speed towards the source I know who owned it f-series truck like they work on a farm in some capacity or like they working construction I couldn't see someone like that but I also see you know you take it out into like let's say you're working on construction or mining then you almost use it as a portable power system as well yeah but you need that fuel to run the batteries and like you're in a place where you can't recharge it easily I think the physics of the situation in general terms is that if you had a super capacitor to get you from like resting up to whatever RPM you need and then you could draw from the battery consistently like you weren't dumping a bunch of energy from the battery all it wants to get everything up up to speed that is the most energy efficient from like a lot like if the battery slowly charges a super capacitor and then it's like okay I'm gonna mash the gas and get a ton of torque and it's draining the super capacitor maybe something like that would work really well but I don't the f-150 with like the usage model I don't think it'll because even the Tesla like when the when the the grant or or or along with his grand tour or when they were doing the Tesla testing the battery would only last 51 minutes on their test track well the f-150 I think is fine because that's like a court of life judo f-350 the six wheeler yeah I don't know about that one it's gonna be like three-quarters of the weights gonna be battery or something probably that seems crazy we'll see that's definitely gonna be you're gonna take some ribbing from your other giant truck owning friends if you're the first to roll out with the electric Super Duty if it saves have a bunch of money though unlike fuel costs they might they might let up on nukes maybe not gonna make cool noises either yeah well iBM is in a bit of trouble after they're being accused of age discrimination now we've covered the story a couple of times in the past but the register has this article here the IBM HR made me live the US government says ax the VP and Age Discrimination legal Rao I was ordered to cover up layoffs of older workers I could not find a US source for this but if there's any truth to this big blue is gonna be in so much trouble why didn't they just spell out discrimination maybe the the field like when they entered into the website was one burp word Berfield cuz that's a giant headline there it's so big they couldn't get it any shorter so this is something this woman who ironically enough was in her 60s worked in HR and she was just laying people off and I was like oh this is what I do and she started to notice the trend they were all over 50 and she blew a whistle and she was out so now she is doing her own a discrimination suit listen if not that and it's so not that we can't have you even saying that it might be that so you have to go and I don't even think it's as much that older people don't perform as well it's just that you know your salary goes up your benefits go up you don't respond to the fire drill oh my god lose the clothes like I've been to this rodeo for 20 years now get ok you've learned that that's just you know business as usual and it doesn't have to you don't to freak out undef initely you probably don't respond well to the fresh new manager I've been to the Newton school of modern management for Millennials and blah blah blah it's like you're an idiot just go away I love my job I love the stories about in Vietnam they bring in the West Point boys it's like he's in charge of unit making around the jungle be like listen shut up or we're going to kill you well if you have a GPS app on your phone you might want to take an extra look at it well you're watching this show you're probably not an idiot but ziddi that has the arguably making have you read the comments some Android GPS apps are just showing ads on top of Google Maps I have been downloaded over 50 million times collectively and Google has failed to remove them even if they blatantly break their own license literally these apps just put ads on top of Google Maps they're for people that are like do I need a GPS program and they download it you don't need that you have maps on your phone it's building you literally already have that this is like going to Google and typing in WW weather calm except they make money from it when you do that too many times Google sets an idiot mode on on your profile and it's real hard to get that turned off how did you learn that window helping people well the other thing that Google is doing that's kind of surprising is raising some prices the G suite and here's this is an amazing headline Google raises G suite prices by 20% and it now costs more than office 365 that is baffling because the office 365 is a much more complicated product than G suite a much more capable product and you can get offline versions of office 365 you can actually download the desktop versions at no cost if you have the subscription and Google does not offer that to be imagine if Google was putting all of their their money like if you wanted an offline version of office if they were dumping off some of their G suite money into like OpenOffice or Libre Office or something like that their dragonfly money they could be making the open-source world better instead they're working here about that they care about making money yeah making the open-source real better demonetized oh well well it's a Verizon one thing that so they like charging you for text messages they don't like spam and they very much don't like unions union-busting 101 doctors reveal of Rosen's attacks on organized labor so this is documents handed out to managers at Verizon Wireless stores I think yes and there's a lot of really interesting stuff in there this is in response to a couple of stores that did manage to unionize and a couple of other stores that like they were gonna vote so the way it works is like a certain percentage of the people in the store have to want to do it and if there's any small percentage of outliers then you'll lose the chance to vote for another year hmm so the managers actually got to a couple of people and turned them and they were too afraid to vote so it's sort of like this ongoing battle of like hey how many turncoats can we get here and so they're they're doubling down and someone leaked their internal dog strategy it's actually kind of fascinating the level of psychological manipulation that's in the document yeah I know I don't know I mean I'm kind of torn on unions because certainly these corporations are evil but I think the union's themselves can are very susceptible to the same are cancerous yeah eventually especially there when you talk about like the auto worker Union and stuff like that everything terrible and then they become political yeah and I think it's really weird so you start out just it's like Amazon it's like I just want a potty break and somehow that turns into you have to like bust these people to somewhere within like red hats and it's just I don't how did we get here how did we get here well if you've always wanted Bitcoin but just weren't smart enough to figure it out online stuff and you're like man I don't know I'd love to be part of the Bitcoin revolution but can I just give you some cash yes good news once our machines will start selling click coin at the grocery store I wonder what kind of vague they're taking cuz the Vig that they take for converting change to cash is kind of high this is such a bizarre thing but it's also like it's kind of a weird way you know what drives me crazy about the Coinstar thing is if you go to a bank with your coins they usually will just turn you away you know and it's like bro you're a bank I have currency you're about I want to put this currency and the bank and they're like no our machine gets broken because of nails so yeah come on sorry takes a huge hit and now you don't have to use loose coins to buy your bitcoins it's the good news you can use paper money if you want but I think they will take all so it's not just gonna like print out a key for your Bitcoin you're gonna get a coin me account and then you have to transfer it out and I probably take a piece there too well you can do it if all you guys cash this could be a huge for money laundering well civil bitcoins not doing so hot right so we check how much it was for started recording it's not good yeah it's it's where it has been it's on lots of support yeah it's it's resting quietly coin start by married ideal months ago and they just now got it implemented yeah that's like dang it well moving on to social media Facebook is facing a record-setting fine although the record is kind of low the US regulators have met to discuss imposing a record-setting fine against Facebook for privacy violations US regulators are a little slow on the uptake we're really quite like a year and a half behind and well at least they're doing something two years behind during the shutdown so the record is twenty two point three million against Google so it'll be more than that but we don't know how much we don't know if anything will really come with this or if this is some sort of dark negotiation for something else if it's even if it's thirty I think Facebook is like oh we thought you were serious cash now hear that so this this headline I have to remind you and I know I've said this before but once again it bears repeating when these studies come out we're not talking about the average Facebook user I mean maybe we are but we're talking up people or stupid enough to pick up the phone and actually answer a poll most Facebook users don't know that it records a list of their interests new study finds seventy four percent of people were aware of Facebook's methods so yes this was this was phone survey things but apparently two people that answered the phone it actually they somehow were able to pull the well they just then tell them I was like hey log into Facebook and type in this URL and I'll show you what they know about you yeah fifty-one percent of people were very surprised that it had a list as accurate as it was but again okay thanks all the day that's fifty one percent of people who didn't say like are you yeah are you stupid I don't have time for this yeah the other 49 percent what we're like look I am cripplingly lonely and it's okay that Facebook is building this profile because I can serve some human contact anyway they long in the Facebook it was like oh my grandson basketball game oh so good at the basketball crippling loneliness is a very powerful thing to let people do terrible things but it doesn't represent the popular no so or they forget that they had like one grandson and Facebook reminded them when they looked at it alright I have seven I forgot I have to go I actually I have just send them a birthday card well speaking of Facebook grandkids it turns out that they are also a little bit confused at Facebook lawsuit reveals how Facebook profited off confused children according to the report Facebook failed to refund parents whose children accidentally bought games I don't know I don't know how much I believe accidentally but I would totally believe that it's like grandma's like here I signed up for whatever and it's like oh I had no idea that this was happening I keep charging you yeah and I know no man I'm not a I don't love Facebook or anything but I say these people should have to pay every cent I know somebody's grandma that spent two or three there on fixed income and they're very poor and they spent probably two or three hundred dollars on I think it was plants vs. zombies upgrades when I remember like plants vs. zombies like the hi spoke edition and it was just like well what do you do and that's an important lesson yeah hey don't do that they didn't remember that they had given it the credit card for something else I was like monitor your children yeah or your elderly I mean think about all the horrible things that your kids can be into they can be joining Isis you have to pay attention to what they're doing oh thank goodness they were only buying upgrades in plants right yeah plants vs. zombies is considering what else is on the internet they keep you have fortune well no paid upgrades there yeah Facebook has fallen it is no longer on the throne but the good news for them is they still own the throne whatsapp is now Facebook's most popular app so they spent a half a billion dollars on this I guess that was a good investment now that was like 19 billion was it was a half a billion this thing talked about that nineteen oh you know billion Wow good more well that was nineteen billion well-spent oh it was four hundred fifty million active users not dollars active users I knew there was a half a billion been there somewhere so now it's quite a bit more than that and it's number one and I got to give it up I mean you know say what you want about Zuckerberg but he saw the writing on the wall and he knew exactly what to do about it of course he was spying and manipulating us psychologically to get that information but hey they're right I mean it is not resting because they're working on something else in brain I have a fit so somebody else invented whatsapp right yeah yeah and he just bought it yeah that's that's the move that's what he should be doing because when he tries to come up with stuff you get something like this Facebook said to be secretly working on a lul meme hub app uh it means laugh out loud it is Christa design I just it's one of those features that shouldn't even exist that there is no good design for it it's just why why is it there and it might not be a Facebook feature it might be a standalone app just like whatsapp but it's going to be for children to the tried means yeah names it was a great use of time I have a feeling that Zuckerberg somewhat understands what that means he doesn't really key to how old is he he doesn't understand why the humans enjoy it what it is that's true his body is young but his this robot interior as much older it's not how the robots are always depicted in science fiction there's like there thousand it takes them thousands of years to really comprehend something that we innately you know like the humanity of whatever yeah humor yeah they're better at everything else yeah yeah well another problem at Facebook is some people at Facebook seem to be drinking the kool-aid maybe mainlining the cool bass book employees busted leaving five star reviews for portal on Amazon portal is like Amazon's Alexa with a camera in a screen but it's for Facebook class that means visits Facebook yeah and the reviews were like wow I can have video calls with my family this is way better than the phone it's amazing to some people inside the company which you're not allowed to do oh there's only three instances of that but the three there was three really long glowing reviews enough that people were like wait a minute and I actually checked and it's like yeah they and that's against Amazon's policy by the way cannot review your own company's products so I think it emails have been according to Twitter the kind of player emails have been sent to these employees to ask them to take the reviews down yeah claims there was no internal collusion it was totally they were operating on their own they just really loved it row guy that much really really loved it and also shows that they were verified purchases from Amazon which means that Facebook didn't even get my free one yeah Zuckerberg well Twitter now Wendell you have admitted that even though you have a crippling Twitter addiction you will not go so far as to install the app I have refrained from installing the app the app actually has some compelling features and I have not installed it but it also has reasons not to use it on Twitter bug exposed some Android users protected tweets for years well yeah so you could that you could have done the protective tweak thing which means that only people that you have pre-screened I guess see your tweets except if you were on Android and use the app in which case maybe that didn't happen sometimes if you changed any settings you could have lost that setting what every time like that we read this term like what is the point of having a protected tweet that you only show like one person can you just text them oh I bet that the thoughts do it so like you have this inner circle of you know like your sugar daddies would you do that with like isn't there aren't there other alternative services that do that better oh these girls don't want tax records but now androids open it up crystal you're so innocent of course there's usefulness for that I mean that plus it gives those guys a feeling of you know like energy like there's something special so they'll keep sending that money every month in a garbage bag dropped off at her doorstep on a certain date predetermined well we talked about let's see there was the hot water challenge there was the bird box challenge there's the Tide Pods challenge the Helen Keller challenge which is a variation of the bird box show which no one has done except you there were several other ones that I'm not thinking of but the challenges must stop youtube has cracked down on harmful and dangerous challenges and price so that means loading Paul's band right all both nopal brothers was a picture of them in the article well it's interesting that you would say use a word like band yes here's what's gonna happen you will go on a little bit of a probation for 90 days you will be asked to delete the offending video and in that 90 days if you do another stupid challenge you will get a strike at the end of the nine days presumably you go right back to your stupid seems like seems like they might know that they make a lot of money from these challenges yeah how do we walk that line by building yeah you don't walk that line cuz they don't really care about the kids you make this they just want money I weep for Humanity well Friday you can weep a little bit more as we take a look at nonsense and robots and don't tear Sui up just a little bit of design the design story could very well be in the nonsense section maybe yeah I remember there's another guy Tommy but there might be see Friday\n"
