@alshafei it really frustrates me knowing how many people this goblin fired to abide by his tech-lord manifesto. Disrupting entire families. While they were, perhaps stupidly, trying to defend his company from becoming shit and wasting everyone's time. These people suck so bad.

@alshafei He wanted the FA but not the FO, and now he can FO^2 (Find Out and Fuck Off).
@alshafei I think we all know who the slop grenade is in this story.
@alshafei “slop grenade” is such a good expression
@alshafei who could have possibly foreseen etc
@alshafei The fool outed himself as a fascist before Shopify achieved monopoly status. As merely one of several online payment processors Shopify is easy to live without.
