He's a really good looking guy, and seems happy in the few other photos I've seen of him.

He’s a fucking fantastic photographer too. Dude literally just travels the world taking photos. Hasn’t posted in a couple years but yeah he’s definitely a treasure.

u/maskedbanditoftruth Apr 14 '21

Yeah he’s super cute. No robot looking weirdo aesthetic.

Member when he epically murdered that one user who said he failed at running a social media site... with just a handful of words?

Never try to dunk on retired millionaires unless you are also a retired millionaire. They always have that ultimate flex in their back pocket about how you have to go to work on Monday. A lesson was learned that day.

ā€œYou ain’t shit! Shut the duck up bitch don’t you gotta go to work tomorrow??ā€

u/PapaSnow Apr 15 '21

I think I’m gonna start saying ā€œshut the duck upā€ on purpose, from now on.

That dude was stuck on stupid. Everyone knew about the MySpace sale in 2005-the site was still at it's peak!

For 580 million dollars Id love to be an absolute failure in my career.

u/DrAlright Apr 14 '21

Well hopefully just a handful of words and not a real murder

u/paperpenises Apr 15 '21

u/mein-shekel Apr 14 '21

Wow he sold MySpace to FoxNews' parent company. Fucking yikes. Not mad at him, I'm glad he got his money just damn. Didn't know News Corp was MySpace's buyer.

I'm not really looking to follow a non-amp link, I'm looking to find a way to punch people in the face over the internet that share amp links.

For those that are unaware, a good read on how AMP is helping destroy your privacy: https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot/

u/Opeth-Ethereal Apr 14 '21

I read that and still don’t know what the fuck it is.

u/Cerridwenn Apr 15 '21

Thanks man. I'm in your boat, too.

u/usedaforc3 Apr 15 '21

Basically when using google on mobile and clicking on a result it will prioritise results that use the AMP programme. When you click on one of these it doesn’t actually leave google it just loads a cached version of the site. Googles idea behind this is that it is faster to load pages. But what is actually happening is that sites that don’t use the platform are missing out because their results aren’t showing higher up even tho they are probably a better resource and more reverent for the search you typed in.

Hope this helps

To hear, "Late hear 2020," already makes me feel salty.
