The frowny face is what gets me, like they’re pouting that the women in the sketches didn’t make their penis hard :(

But they literally HAVE a fiduciary obligation. I agree with you that people use that as an excuse for heinous shit, but in this case they had a formal, legally binding offer. Musk was in breach of contract and they sued for specific performance or damages. Musk didn’t want to pay the damages. If they didn’t sue, Twitter would forfeit I think $1bn in damages and their stock would tank. Not suing would open the door for hostile investors to come in, pretend to buy, back out when they wanted to and time the stock movements. I get what you’re saying, but this is a case where if the board didn’t sue then Twitters shareholders pay for it.

You and I may agree that they never should have been in that place to begin with but that’s definitionally a fiduciary obligation

Ok? But that’s not what the Twitter board claimed. I agree with your premise but that isn’t what happened here.

Oh perfect! OP can probably just recreate that sound, even just slap a 3600rpm spinning disk drive in there for good measure. It’ll be familiar and cosy for them.

No, I don’t think that’s true. Twitters board had to sue for specific performance because Musk backed out of a formal offer in the late stages for fabricated reasons. It’s not like it was “sue musk or go to jail” but their job as board members comes with a fiduciary obligation, and musk was paying 38% over the share price. Twitter is FAR from blameless but sueing musk isn’t a failing https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2022/07/14/twitter-vs-musk-the-complaint/

They don’t have that feature out of the box but I bet you could configure them to do so. I’m sure there’s a “randomly beep and turn on in the middle of the night” lib somewhere.

Erase it. Join us.

Not that they are blameless - far from it - but they had a fiduciary responsibility to pursue the deal because it was good for their shareholders

It’s literally discussed in the Wikipedia definition…

Hot take: This is gonna sound conceited to introverts but “shutting the fuck up so others can talk and contribute” IS society forcing extroverts to do exactly what you said. When an extrovert isn’t talking they are probably deliberately holding back because it’s socially polite

I disagree with gravity. Can’t fly yet but I’m working on it. \s

By the looks of it you gotta stop biting your nails. Kills your teeth and your nails alike.

I also hate Garmin chargers but mine has worked for many years. I just find them annoying to fit

I see a lot of communities for moes. Fitmoes, kemonomoes, smolmoes. I don’t know what a moe is - obviously it’s related to anime or Japanese (or otaku) culture but it’s so clearly a thing that I don’t know anything about.

 

Couldn’t happen to a nicer anti-vaxxer, either. Have to imagine he’s willing to accept medical treatment now.

Poor Jets, though.

 

Went down on the very first drive. Ankle injury, X-rays negative.

This is the most Jets thing imaginable.
