ahaha perfect

and San Francisco needs to be roasted inside of San Francisco more often, try saying anything that the rest of the country thinks about that place on Nextdoor and you’ll be kicked off the app entirely, by neighbors

I hope all the self proclaimed tech libertarians in the audience who hate so called "cancel culture" loved a little laugh at their expense. :)

Dreamforce is mostly sales guys. They’ll be happy to laugh at the nerds but for what it’s worth people usually enjoy this kind of thing in tech. It’s mostly in delivery.

We had a comedian around once and he was doing a bit. Asked for volunteers and I went up obviously. He asks me what I do and I’m like “software haha like most people here I suppose” and he goes “yeah, but specifically how does your thing work” which is a transparent frame up job but what are you gonna do so I have to explain freaking ad tech in front of the audience and he roasts me proper.

Pretty hilarious. We got a kick out of it. Loads of fun.

The fact that you don't think people should not be cancelled for saying something stupid doesn't mean that you have to love their jokes or even agree with what they are saying.

It's NextDoor.

try saying anything that the rest of the country thinks about [ANY]place on Nextdoor and you’ll be kicked off the app entirely, by neighbors.

I'll tell you right now, don't do that in Houston or Dallas. Can't even try it in Spring or Fort Worth. (Heck, even people in Nacogdoches get all bent out of shape these days.)

Yes, if any group is known for their good humored nature it's anti-woke libertarian tech-bros.

It needs to be funny though, and the quotes in the article were a miss for me...

Huh?

They were a little funny.

I mean the guy's right. 45,000 "trailblazers"?

Not to put too fine a point on it, but that's like, what? 40-45 Marine Corps battalions?

Does not laughing constitute "cancelation"?

worse

if someone identifies as funny and you don't laugh you are literally denying their existence

Never thought about it that way

I get the impression some places are more pragmatic about their circumstances, or the deficiencies in their approach to the circumstances
