If you've been in IT since '98 you ought to know this isn't a social media site lol. It's a social forum for communities of users with like minded interests. Most daily social media users get weeded by any UI that isn't 1-3 giant app buttons to sign you into everything on every device you ever did and will own.

Lol plus not many people here are absolute fucking psychos like you with your Lemmy profile pic hahaha fuck you are a madman lol.

Which is the whole point. If they had 1 email, 1 PO, 1 documented proof of agreement, this would never be a fuckin court case. What is more likely, that X is risking liability for the $20M + legal costs in court trying to renege $20M down to $18M? All this suing company has to do, as I stated above, is show one acknowledgment and confirmation between the two parties and its an open and close case.

There was a judge (I'm going off memory from hearing it on the radio a year or so ago) in Canada who held a farmer liable for responding to a text with a thumbs up to a contractor asking if he got the contract he sent the farmer. Farmer went into court with the defense he was acknowledging that he received the text but it wasn't enough to convince beyond reasonable doubt there wasn't an understanding between the two.

If Twitter and Elon were trying to weasel out of paying this company, THEY WOULD BE SUING THEM for some made up breech of contract BS like they're doing to advertisers.

Hahaha yeah otherwise they wouldn't be trying to sue to recoup losses. It happens all the time in sales. I can't even tell you the amount of times I have told new sales reps, I will not place anticipatory PO's without payment confirmation or full compliance with not just the purchase order's parameters for payment on large orders but also an email or otherwise documented acknowledgment of our sales order confirmation. Especially in any case where:

1. The sales rep has a PO from customer but no payment confirmation/information OR

2. If it's an order over, let's say $10,000 OR

3. If it's the first time customer is purchasing from us and they want to make a blanket order OR

4. If they're an international customer placing ANY orders over $500, or have seperate countries for billing and shipping address, or they're shipping to a country on our "fuck shipping to these countries" list

All those scenarios happen and happen often. Theyre not 100% of nepharious lost revenue cases but I'd say they make up 80-90% of the shit companies have sitting on a warehouse top shelf. Only getting moved to make room for other stuff.

Any business doing fabrications or custom fuckin anything, also will 100% of the time have a signed drawing or print, payment in full before it's released to production floor, usually a +/- 5% runoff or shorting stipulation for any qty over 1,000-3,000 custom anything, and constant communication through out the entire process.

For this exact very real very common shit storm.

So and so's cnc machine broke down we can only make 1,000 of the 10,000 you ordered.

It was a government contract to redo the electrical work at Governor Cuomo's house, how should I know he was going to be removed from office?

Everything this lawsuit outlines, fuckkn screams new business, 1st large contract. All the need is one email, one purchase order, fuck even just a sales order from Twitter and they wouldn't ever make it close to a court house before the Twitter boardmembers looked at the liability, the legal costs and the very slim liklihood they would come out better than if they paid the $20 million. And anyone who argues that $20 Million is enough to try and skip out on and risk letting it go to court has no fucking idea to the quantifiable difference between $20 million and $8-$20 Billion (what im guessing Twitter is still worth assuming it was about $40B when Elon bought and estimates have it between 50% and 80% the value when it sold. Even at the middle $14B, $20M is only 0.14285714% of $14B. No that's not a mistake the decimal is where it should be lol. Check it by multiplying $14B*0.0014285714

Don't project the future through the same eyes you observe the past with.

Things like this usually don't happen because unless it was more than 100 years the past there is empirical accounts of whatever it is theyre pondering about.

The other side is how noone has gotten to the point of studying the history of technology. I mean I'm under 40 and I remember life with no internet in the house muchness in your pocket.

Also dont forget were recording humanity at an unprecedented scale now and show no signs of slowing. There will likely be a flood of media and resources to actually watch how most shit in the past was done 100-500 years from now.

Na. Without context maybe but from your account naaaa I used to pop a chub on the school bus going up and down the country roads. Usually just played it off as scratching my balls but would actually just tuck it into the waste band.

No matter how many people say otherwise the only thing that truly matters at the end of life is your happiness and psychological well being. Family, friends, jobs and houses will come and go. Don't ever let yourself get too lost being comfortable with depression. It's not ever going to get easier but the rest of life will and does get easier. Especially if you continue to fight the depression because nothing in life will ever be more taxing than fighting yourself.

Not sure how the valve decks differ from steam decks but there are tons of tutorials i saw from a quick Google for how to get it on steam deck.

Soooo noone here even read the article? Just see Elon and start shitting everywhere? The company suing X was dealing with Twitter before Elon. There was no purchasing contract in place when the suing company placed the $20 million dollar order they are claiming is all custom made and cant be recouped, "the social media platform had not made any firm purchase order when the server dealer went ahead with its purchases and deliveries."

How about we read an article before we start spewing shit everywhere?

Can you mod games on your deck? I don't even know what a steam deck actually is lol

I have tons of actual 2nd cousins. From a small town and giant family.

It always seemed weird calling my first cousins once removed "2nd" cousins when my actual 2nd cousins are so much further relation. My first cousins were more sibling than cousin so their kids call me uncle and they were as good as niece and nephew until my only brother started pumping out crotch fruit of his own. That knocked everyone down a notch lol.

What?! Hahaha how many times did you get held back? 85-2005 is a really long time to be in school jkjk obviously /s

Go on... lol

No you fuckin didn't hahaha stop lying. You didn't vote the parent comment, its you first time in the thread and your only comment in the thread. For your comment to be true you would have to of come back on your own accord to check up on a comment you upvoted? Don't be a fuckin douche, if you have a point to make with a comment, make the comment, don't be a dramatic bitch making up bullshit 🤣

Yeah cuz that works sp much better than offering incentives to lower emissions.

Lol McD is 10-5 vs the Jets. Its been a while since this meme could make sense. I dont even know whatplayer you would have to put on the meme🤣

Greatest slot corner to ever play the game. Idk what McD does but whatever it is makes every DB into the best possible players they can be.

Tre’Davious White drafted 1st rd

Jordan Poyer drafted 7th rd

Micah Hyde drafted 5th rd

Taron Johnson drafted 4th rd

Levi Wallace undrafted

Dane Jackson drafted 7th rd

He has had 1 to 3 CB's or S's chosen each year but last year for either the pro bowl or 1st team all pro. Only Jackson and Levi are not on that list but are fuckin studs nonetheless. McD, the fuckin DB whisperer.

But still you guys aren't hearing my issue or I'm not explaining it properly. Why does it take so much to ignite protests in America when other countries are more prone to protest? What does it take for Americans to come together and to want more from their community leaders. It's a showerthought showerquestion not an objective statement question, so it's evolving and I do regret that I posted it with the question of if it were a framing difference because it I'd not on topic for what my overall question was about . That's on me, my b.

I get the framing thing but that isn't addressing why US protests are: something bad is happening -> protest And other countries seem to be more of a collective agreement that something needs to improve.

Harbaugh: My heart problem is under control!... ^under ^the ^control ^of ^my ^coke ^problem snifffffff

Hmmmmmm not sure if I'm flattered regardless that you don't know my age, that you think I made it this far in life never farting in the shower or insulted that you think I've taken so few showers that I've never experienced farting in the shower lol

Agree 100%
