It would be a neg if the woman was attractive. It would be like saying, "I'd rather go out with you than have rectal surgery."

These kind of girls are totally different. They don't respond to the same kind of game. Plus, she was probably just flattered that a man was interested.

Totally agreed. Luck plays a HUGE role in anything. John Rockefeller was a very intelligent man, but there were a ton of other oil refineries. He was able to negotiate a massive deal with Cornelius Vanderbilt to ship his oil, whereas others weren't. There were plenty of companies making oil, just Standard Oil was lucky enough to become the best.

For what it's worth, I think he's an arrogant prick as well. If he were to go back 30 years and try to pull that shit (wearing the sweatshirt to meetings), he'd be laughed out of the office.

Perhaps this is a form of Schadenfreude, but I'm happy that Facebook is becoming increasingly irrelevant.

It´s not just luck. Luck is winning at the lottery. Building empires like Microsoft, Facebook or Standard Oil takes an incredible amount of dedication, determination, hard work, taking huge risks etc. Some guys here, make it look, like it´s a walk in the park. Bill Gates didn´t take a single day of vacation from when he was 20 years old until he was 30. How many average Joes are willing to make such a sacrifice?

But it cannot be said his success is due to mere luck, weaseling and connection.

I'm not going to bash Zuck's business acumen while praising Trump for his. Let's be consistent.

I don't believe in luck as the only way successful people become successful. That said, it's naive to think Facebook could happened at the hands of a guy living alone in a trailer park in flyover country. A place like Harvard surrounded Zuck with smart and innovative people (in addition to the automaton asian student types like Chan), so circumstance favored the odds a bit in that sense.

However - Zuck did not demonstrate business acumen when he later ripped off the technology from his friends, he demonstrated he was a fucking weasel, and one apparently with zero game to boot. He could have made plenty of money along with the Winkelvoss twins and Sevarin, but instead he chose to stab them in the back - and he could have just as easily been wrong about where Facebook would go. The image of him being a dorm room dwelling nerd cyber-stalking hot girls he would never have the gumption to meet in person suited him then and now.

Trump on the other hand has more confidence than Zuck could ever muster, can lead teams of workers, managers and finance people way beyond what some latte sipping silicon valley simp could ever handle outside of their sheltered cocoons. Trump also generated his wealth with private enterprises, mostly building tangible things with measurable value, not apps with aspirational stock valuations to drive up the value and add to dubious net worth claims.

Zuck the Cuck can't hold a candle to men like Trump. His taste in women is a barometer of his own insecurities and social retardation.

^Driving a tractor over a flat plain with no farm implements and a safety assistant. Performing a non-labor cutsie task like feeding a calf with a bottle.

My uncle is a farmer and raises cattle. The above actions are exact things a visiting little girl would do on his farm. I'm not exaggerating. These are not the kinds of things a man does when he visits a farm unless he is unsure like a little girl. He would have been more dignified to skip all that stuff and just leaned over the side of his pickup truck bed with a bud light and talk about what the farmer really goes through.

Politicians always do the photo op fake stuff, we all understand that. Some politicians actually do a job of connecting with their voters, and insisting to their staff that they want to get their hands dirty and actually dig in to an opportunity. These are the guys you can at least respect for trying to make a connection.

Zuck would be a moron to run for office in 2020. He is too inexperienced and still has too much aspieness to be trusted by the public by large. Many people have seen his movie or know how he stole FB and how ruthless he was. He and Bill Gates have a shitload in common, but Bill Gates is a little bit more likeable than he is, and that is saying alot because when you run for office, every person you fucked over will come out of the woodwork and throw your dirty laundry all out in the middle of the street.

He would only concern me if he prepares to run for governor of a decent sized state (he lives in Palo Alto so California would make the most sense) and does a good job at it before attempting to run for president. Then he would be a legitimate threat for the White House. By then he will have good experience in a sense, probably had some more kids (he probably won't have more than 1), will have older children, etc. If he ever tamed that wild and out of control California budget and gets all the credit for it, watch out because he really would be a legit WH threat.

Do it! (0.58)

It'll redpill a lot of people on the power of Facebook, and lead to commercial disaster.

Facebook is anti-Trump and controls information flows, but if MEZuckerberg runs, then people will be aware of it.

That, and in Australia at least, MEZ is the face of Facebook, effectively as much as DJT was the face of the Trump Organisation. The difference is, customers of high-end hotels and golf courses are less likely to be offended or boycott, compared to the teenagers MEZ would offend if he lays into someone like Michelle Obama or Tulsi Gabbard in the primaries.

I don't know how to short American stocks, but if I did, it might be a good idea.

You are making the same mistake I used to make - that is, thinking that everyone else is as rational as you are. Most people don't care about how a person got their results, and even if he is a conman, people are accustomed to politicians being like that way already.

I don't think he will be content being a governor of a state, that is, being lower down the hierarchy than anyone else.

[thebassist]

I think those pictures are absolutely hilarious.

It's like he's pretending that he's actually a normal human being and all relatable and shit instead of the privileged socially awkward liberal silicon-valley-bubble-bred robot that he is.

Fuck I would actually kill to hear some audio of Zuckerborg actually talking to these people, just the thought of him interacting with farm hands and those church-members has got me chuckling. Honestly, what would would their conversations look like??

Just look at this fucking guy:

I agree with some the sentiments already expressed in the thread: this guy has been getting his dick sucked on a 24/7 basis for most of the last decade by all the people around him in his little silicon-valley bubble, maybe he's actually starting to believe the hype. Plus, there's zero chance that he has the social awareness to realize what the average person's perception of him is. People like him look at Trump and think that it's evidence that truly anyone can get elected as president without understanding what made Trump so unique. I hope it emboldens him with the arrogance to gun for the top spot instead of making it a slower and more calculated long-term campaign.

Dysgenic effects amongst the elites in general. First generation works, second generation gets wealthy, third generation blows it all.

Okay, it's not actually that rapid; but the elites who push this degeneracy might think themselves immune, and their kids might be, but their grand kids aren't. It catches up with them, and bites them in the ass.

It wasn't the elites of Rome who inherited Europe; it was the provincial governors and mid-level soldiers whose lines persisted, and who eventually became the new monarchs of Europe.

I am not making any mistakes here.

People do care about those things. Look at how Hillary jumped on how Trump became a billionaire during the debates.

Don't think for a second that if he was in the middle of a debate, whether the primaries or past that, someone is not going to lambaste him over how he has gotten where he is?

Becoming a billionaire like the guy who founded Blockbuster stores vs, someone who stole/jacked sourcecode he hardly understood from smarter people, screwing over several friends in a small circle does matter.

If Bill Gates decided to run for president in 2020, it would be a bloodbath. Every person I know that has told me an ugly and dark story about Bill, will start talking to reporters and documentary people. Pretty soon everyone will know many of the rumors or inside knowledge I have heard about him, and then some. His ugly temper, the nasty things he and Steve said and did to other people, employees with inventions at Microsoft that he screwed over, etc.

Mark is no different.

Your past comes back to haunt you.

Key differences is that change can fix these things. Trump was wild, but changed. Difference was that he started his change waaaay ahead of 2016. Trump had been working on his image as a good boss way before he even had political ambitions.

Go and listen to stuff celebrity friends and other random people say about how nice Trump was to them. Do you ever hear stuff like that from Zuck? No not really. I heard nice things about Trump many years ago from a person. I have yet to hear anything like that from Zuck and he works in my industry. IT is a small world.

Regardless, his personality is about the same as a rock. He built a mansion with a underground bunker for crying out loud. Trump built a tall tower in NYC. Think about the contrasts here. One is naturally extroverted. One is an introvert. Most TV era presidents have been extroverted.

Your average voter is more socially intelligent than you are willing to give credit for. People can feel fakeness and can still feel vibes, even if they are not willing or able to articulate it verbally or on paper. They can feel the difference between a souless try hard and a genuine person. Trump, flaws and all, keeps it real with himself and others. With him, there are "no whammies", as the Great Master P would say. People that loved George W Bush commonly would say, that they wanted to sit down and drink a beer with him.

Hillary Clinton does not have Aspergers or any kind of spergness, and she lost this election over the exact same reasons. She has the personality of a rock. A Napoleon complex, extreme temper, entitled personality, overbearing arrogance, talks down to others, scolding mother vibes over political correctness "This is not who we are." (shaming language), no down to Earthness, poor accessibility to others, etc.

One thing Trump was good at for decades was that you would find him in spots, real people hung out, and he was there because he actually wanted to be there. He would be at boxing and UFC matches, mixing it up and talking to common folks. Dude is eating a hotdog like it was a steak. He isn't being caught dead drinking a kale and spirulina, vegan smoothie.

George W Bush drank beer with people before he was president despite being born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was connected with oil and gas folks and was an hunter. Most of his friends may have been rich rednecks, but the point still remains.

Zuck needs crossover appeal. The cat is out of the bag now. White males feel under attack and liberals have no idea how they feel right now. Even a piece of shit liberal like Howard Stern talked about how Hillary lost because she refused to come on his show and talk to white men, who make up a large amount of his audience. Trump on the other hand, used to be a regular on his show. Zuck going to a black church is virtue signaling. Black people won't help him win the WH. Our vote is garbage numbers wise and is more splintered than in decades past. More Republican blacks than ever before.

Can Zuck appeal to your average white man? What about White women? Some women are put off by gay face. Some non-liberal women (white men too) might be put off by him having a Chinese wife.

If he was Governor of California and did a good job, he gets a kind of social validation for public service. If the field is weak enough, he could possibly squeak in, if his debates are strong enough.

Trump has been public speaking for decades in front of others. Obama as well if you look up his history. You cannot put the apple cart in front of the horse and there are pretty much no shortcuts to the WH. He is not going to leapfrog anyone in 2020. That is pretty much impossible. No man has ever become president under 42 years old (Teddy Roosevelt). Zuck is 32. Running at 35 with no prior government experience at that age is a pure joke and a massive waste of money. It's exactly the bad stigma millennials get from older people about their level of arrogance and entitlement.

Scott Adams wrote a good piece on why DJT appears to actively seeks humilliation
It's worth reading the whole thing.

Quote:

How do I know Trump has mastered the skill of converting humiliation into energy? The signs are all there. For example…

Trump has entered one high-risk business after another, guaranteeing that he would experience a large number of setbacks, failures, and humiliations. People don’t run toward humiliation unless they know they can convert that negative energy to fuel. When you see someone succeed across multiple unrelated fields, that’s often a sign of a Master Persuader who feeds on both success and failure. You are watching Trump do exactly that, right in front of your eyes. He has converted every “gaffe” into news coverage. He eats bad news and converts it into fuel......
