    That sounds like a lady I know. Never had her as a boss, but I know people who did. 100++++% dedicated to work. No outside life at all. My friend got a text (or email) from her at something like 1 am, and then got "chewed out" because he did not answer it until 8 am the next morning.

      Well.

      Note that Musk agrees.

        Also, someone was wondering if journalists who use "they/them" as pronouns will have to pay $16 because "they" identify as multiple people.

                    18 years ago that happened to me after my employer in WI was purchased. I have no emotional memory of having been fired so I guess I didn’t care much. But my team was oopsed back into employment soon thereafter. Then several months later we were given an ultimatum to move to CA, because they couldn’t fathom maintaining a remote team. That’s when my total domination of an entire leftist state began. After that process was complete, I moved on.

                        By the way, was this a rule previously on Twitter? Seems like no, since he said “going forward….”

                        But then he said he was making no moderation changes until his committee meets. But that was a couple of days ago so who knows.

                          I guess it depends on how you define "moderation." I would think that impersonating someone else falls outside of the traditional definition.

                          Someone said, "That's like getting thrown out of a party because you pissed in the punch bowl, and then dressing up like someone else, asking to be let back in."

                              Lots of people saying that it happened to them as well, but no one can provide evidence.

                                  I wouldn't know who Brenden Dilley was if he came round to my house wearing an 'I'm Brenden Dilley' t-shirt.

                                  Why did none of these people mention this earlier?

                                    If offers were made, evidence should be abundant. If no evidence is offered, well.

                                      Offers were probably verbal. You really need to find someone who paid. But they probably won’t be chomping at the bit to out themselves.
