Like they didn’t know…more drama
To paraphrase the great BRIAN BLESSED from I, Claudius.
IS THERE ANYONE IN TECH THAT HAS NOT SLEPT WITH JENSEN HUANG?!
Stolen from twitter:
„Bro likes age appropriate intelligent women.
That’s unacceptable in Epstein country”
A third scandal has hit NVIDIA
A second affair has hit the Nvidia stocks
How could Biden have done this?!?
The same way he shits Donald’s pants.
Nah. Clearly this is Bill Clinton’s fault.
He transgendered the Juang!
This timing. Nvidia sacrificing Huang at the alter of capitalism (resigned to live out his life in unimaginable luxury) to distance themselves from the disastrous Trump administration they have been cozying up to for two years. “It wasn’t us, it was that Huang guy! Please do not impact our market cap.”
We had no idea that 20% of our revenue for the year came from illegal sales to China! And neither did the president!
Yeah, I doubt that mansion lifehood is for long. Mr. Huang has the foolishness to directly hurt more than several of the noble clans up top, not to mention selling out important property to a rival.
He’d be lucky if several heads rolled before he does
No one stops at 2 affairs, there is more yet to come out. No wonder he resigned
Unless it’s little girls or he raped someone this really isn’t that big news. What’s this Bill Clinton morality suddenly popping up.
Subordinates and spies are newsworthy.
If these were randoms on hinge (or grinder) then hopefully there would be less uproar.
Not “firing from the company newsworthy.”
Once again, 95% of the billionaires in the world are on the kiddy diddling llist and nobody is getting fired there.
The news demonstrably disagrees with you.
Kiddy diddling needs to be proven (and not under presidential immunity). Sometimes happens
Now that you mention it, I wonder if Monica Lewinsky’s current boyfriend sometimes thinks he’s the president of the US when she’s blowing him.
Affairs are in the news all of the time. What’s up with you thinking this is some unusual thing? The morality never left.
Shouldn’t you be moderating fifty empty subs, posting to yourself?
As if an affair is news to oust a CEO over when the entire Western elite is raping children lmao.
What’s the problem? Mad that you’re not allowed to post your imperialist propaganda to one of my communities?
It’s maybe not news in America, because your president is a pedo rapist. Other countries mostly frown on this behaviour.
Just fuck an escort if you are so horny and an unfaithful piece of shit. Having an affair with an employee and a business partner is the dumbest thing you can do as a CEO.
I don’t know. Elon has done some retarded shit.
I hate Elon as much as the next guy, but we don’t need to resort to using slurs to get our point across
I think it has a very legitimate use, when used as a describing word about actions, instead of a way to mock handicapped people. And I think it’s a shame to completely dismiss a word that has a very nice length and prononciation for saying things in anger. It could just as easily be co-opted to mean something different that doesn’t mock handicapped people. There’s just not a better fitting word for many situations, since “stupid” just doesn’t cut it.
Basically, I find it okay to use it when refering to actions like “Elon has done some retarded shit”. In such a case it isn’t used to mock handicapped people, which is never okay no matter what word you use anyway.
Considering the disabled community has said Southpark handles how disabled people should be treated real well with Jimmy/Timmy, and Southpark uses the word retarded, I concur.
While I generally agree with the sentiment, you’re overlooking the inherently social nature of language. At the moment, that is a word non grata. Give it a decade on the euphemism treadmill, and it will become mostly acceptable to use in the contexts you outlined.
At the moment, I think you’re going to have a hard time using that word without offending someone outside of a musical composition situation. You’ll probably offend some folks using it in the context of musical composition too, but at least “retard” is the proper term for slowing the tempo in the middle of a composition.
It seems to very much depend on where you are. I have yet to hear literally anyone irl complain about use of the word retarded, when refering to an action. Either way, the meaning of the word is only going to change when people actively use it. It’s not going to change if we decide to stick with the “bad” version of the meaning and making it taboo.
I have. Not very often, but it has happened at some points.
I think using retarded to mean stupid could be part of the problem, actually. Like your Elon example, tbh. The fact that it is being used in a way that refers to mental faculties could cause offense to people with delayed mental faculties. Using the word to mean “slowed”, in the original meaning, without referring to mental faculties, is probably more likely to rehabilitate the word apart from the use as a slur.
Retard is a slur? Yikes.
Seems like its regional. Some areas really hate it. Others its totally fine to use at work. Thanks to the internet, both can interact and think the other is odd.
Just learning how slurs work?
Here’s a good test for whether it’s a slur. Would you say it in front of someone with Down’s Syndrome, or would you find another word?
Is it a slur or advanced physics? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarded_potential
Has been for decades.
Without taking sides in this debate, let me just say that you’d have an easier time arguing that “slurs are sometimes okay to say” than trying to argue that “‘retard’ isn’t a slur”.
It’s like, 100% a slur. You know how ethnic slurs are called ethnic slurs? That’s because there are non-ethnic kinds. Really curious what definition you use for slur that wouldn’t include “retard”. It’s an old-timey word used to describe a specific type of person, which is now largely considered offensive by that type of person, and has become used in a general sense as an insult…I mean, what box does it not check?
personally i do consider it a slur and avoid it accordingly, but i think the difference with this one is that colloquial usage took it over entirely. i’m fairly sure the average person does not think of down syndrome when they hear that slur, they just think of a particularly stupid person. which is also how the words “idiot” and “dumb” stopped being slurs over time, even though those also used to refer to medical conditions.
this might differ between cultural backgrounds, i suspect that’s why it was categorised as a slur in contemporary internet culture. but it’s pretty hard to find another slur that doesn’t unambiguously, inseparably refer to a particular group it degrades. with the r-slur, some people do appear to separate it, i think that’s why they insist it’s okay to use.
I think Lemmy is over sensitive about these things too. To me, retard is more like a funny word. But there are plenty of people who think it should never be used anymore because of actually retarded people and how they may feel.
Also, the word is banned from YouTube I think, and possibly large parts of reddit as well. :) I think its silly but whatever, I can live with not using it, sure.
All slurs can be funny to the right idiots.
I think banning words are funny. :) Can’t wait to see what’s next. Probably the word Muslim will insulting soon.
It’s harder to understand why using a word would be wrong when they don’t affect you. Have some empathy and understand why for people that are marginalized and called something as a slur that it would be nicer to just stop using the word.
Nobody is banning the word, either. Just responding with their own free speech to say it’s idioitic to not understand why slurs are wrong to use.
You’re either 15 or 65. No way you’re a dense edgelord.
so a thing to understand about weird rich guy sex stuff is that they find power dynamics sexually alluring. the fact that he had power over this employee surely factored into the desireability of the encounter
These cats need to just learn ethical BDSM like the rest of us.
The big question is whether there was more illegal chip smuggling.
Having an affair with an employee and a business partner is the dumbest thing you can do as a CEO.
Correction: Doing so without a prenup is dumber.
He has more money than anyone could ever realistically spend. Prenup or not makes fuck all real difference.
Except to his high score in the sociopath game
Musk has done this many, many times, and had children with them.
business partner is the dumbest
Spy is actually dumber
Hard logic unfortunately that you can’t buy the delusion that she wants it.
It’s not about sex. It’s about social status and power. And yes, it’s incredibly dumb.
He fucked her, not beat her in a fight.
Of course it’s about sex. Power makes sexy. But he was probably just extremely horny for some variety.I think he meant for the woman it can be about power and status to fuck a guy like that.
No, I meant for Jensen. He would rather have sex with C-suite executives like Alice Huang and Colette Kress than hire a prostitute because he perceives them as higher “value”. There have been reports of a 3rd affair with an unnamed NVIDIA employee. I’m betting she wasn’t a custodian.
Well, the woman isn’t target of all the news. Did she even cheat?
Both Kimberly Powell (Nvidia vice president) and Alice Huang (spy) were married, though it sounds like at least the spy’s husband was apparently aware of what was going on.
A Mystery Businessman Introduced Jensen Huang to His Paramour. It Was Her Husband.
Kang Wei appeared to accept that his wife Alice Huang was in a romantic relationship and spoke openly of her closeness to the Nvidia chief
Good question. News hasn’t mentioned anything about her having someone but a woman like that is not single by choice.

Lost his job, will lose his wife, and half of his wealth. Lucky for him half his wealth is still wealth. He won’t get the Chinese spy baddies anymore, he’ll have to make do with the regular billionaire groupies.
I hope the third affair is with a dude.
and a fourth with someone trans… but they’re an AMD exec.
Lisa. Let it be Lisa.
That is his first cousin
There are Alabamas all over the world.
Multiple dudes all at once
huang got an active wang.
Can totally handle thirds, about now.
Do you think he knows about elevenses?
Memes you can hear, regardless of the fact that it was always a picture.
Anyone’s opinions on bush aside. The absolute composure for any leader to maintain and not panic or flinch over such news in front of children and maintain themselves is impressive.
Credit where credit is due bush absolutely managed receiving that news like a champ here. His mind must be racist a million miles a min.
What a fabulous type-o
I was like… But I reread that twice how is there a type o. Im on a new smaller phone so I’m getting use to the keyboard and auto correct has been fighting me lately. So I’ve been extra vigilant.
I can’t believe I fucking missed that. It took me two MORE rereads to see it.
My brain just refused to see it as a type o I guess.
Auto correct forever my best friend and enemy.
But the real question is do I just leave it? I think I just leave it…
You accidentally summarized the turning point of the Bush jr. presidency perfectly, absolutely do not change it!
Most likely because he didn’t fully understand the implications. He isn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.
His mind must be racist a million miles a min.
Not sure if typo or joke, but still funny.
Type o left because it makes a good joke.
Lol
Wasn’t this were he was told a second plane hit the other tower? So it was clear it was a terrorist atrack by then.
No. Your revisionist history isn’t needed here, friend. Bush is genuinely a nepo baby moron. He didn’t know how to feel about anything until Cheney told him, and that ain’t Cheney in his ear. That’s why he sat there. His followup question to hearing the news was famously,
“Why you tryin’ to kiss me in my ear, scooter? You tryna be my boyfriend or somethin? Seriously though, do we still get that pudding they serve on air force one on the way home or does this whatever crap you said mean we have to pretend to be all sad and not be seen with pudding right now? Because I’m telling you, pudding sounds awesome right about now, scooter.”
The actual fuck is your problem mate. Hes still a fucking human. nepo baby or not. Are you actually trying to say that he literally is PHYSICALLY unable to have any emotions or thoughts of his own on being told the nation hes president off just had a major attack on its own soil?
Shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down. Take some deep breaths and get the stick out of your ass. I hate bush, but that doesn’t mean i have to fucking dehumanize him at every fucking chance. Dear fuck im tired of people like you. Go fucking outside and spend some time with real people.
Not to open the conspiracy can of worms but this implies Bush had no reason to expect a terrorist attack on American soil, which he absolutely was aware of the high possibility of, and allegedly conveniently neglected to do anything about lol.
It’s one thing to expect something, it’s another thing to hold your composure around kids when that expectation comes true.
I don’t give a fuck who you are or how well prepared you are. When shit hits the fan NO ONE is ever truly ready.
What is going on with this reading, is this how kids learn to read in America!? With this ruler smacking and shit? It’s very authoritarian, almost militaristic, not a bit of joy in that classroom
I’m not 100% sure, but this may be a remedial education course for kids who have been struggling with reading comprehension, which is why it’s so rigid. This interaction is definitely not typical for primary school English. At least not when I was in school.
Not to defend the abysmal literacy rates in America, of course. Standard education here is really more of a suggestion of a standard.
Holy shit! No wonder reading comprehension in the US is as bad as it is.
What’s the context?
Bush getting told that a second plane hit the WTC.
Bush getting told Laura killed another person with her car.
Thanks
Did he do Laura?
Lol exactly what I opened the comments for, and it’s right up top 👌
Whenever a second anything happens in the news, this meme invades my stream of consciousness against my will. Like someone spoke my MK Ultra activation phrase or something. I can’t help it. The comparison is just too funny.
Blows in ear gently, “we’re on for 9pm again Georgie”
Now you need Jensen looking over his shoulder at Powell with Huang in the background.
bit refreshing seeing a billionaire not fucking kids.
a bit of a horndog and cheating bastard, but who expected a saint?! this guy is a CEO he would sell his soul for a increase in stock value.
billionaire not fucking kids
As far as we know
I’m not upset at all about the infidelity. But judging from this thread, I guess people care a lot about if he is faithful or not.
I think it may be a lot of virtue signaling also, as usual. But it’s a fact that a lot of people are unfaithful.
Perhaps marriage is not a great idea in general if a lot of people are not happy in it. Usually the decision to marry comes early in a relationship, within a few years. Then reality hits that its not as exciting as they thought after a few years, and perhaps the attraction dies.
I think a lot of guys would cheat with a woman like this, and if they would, I dont think its authentic to judge Jensen for that part.
In countries without state welfare, marriage is an economic construct to secure the funding of raising children. In the past it was also used to secure the funding of the potential mother.
Marriage did already change a lot. But in the countries with shitty state support for single parents and their children, it still serves its purpose. It does not prevent cheating, though - and probably never did.You are right that the judgement is a bit stupid.
A quarter of all men cheat. A fifth of all women cheat. Cheating is somewhat common. Maybe, it’s time to accept the fact that human sexuality isn’t really that easy to confine. Normalizing porn as venting mechanism for unfulfilled desires might help men and women stay exclusive.It’s hard to know for sure how many cheat, and I suspect the real numbers are much higher than what the statistics say (since people won’t always be honest about what they do or did).
I suspect people are afraid of getting caught, mostly, and I read that most cheating happens when being away on conferences and stuff like that. Whenever there is no chance that anyone else finds out who meets together in a room.
But yeah, people won’t like to think about these things since it’s scary as hell if you are being cheated on.
I’m sure it’s an American thing, or just the demographics in lemmy.
Give it time, we’ve just started investigating.
Fucking a spy who targeted him is a restraint problem. Fucking a second woman at work who wasn’t paid to seduce is a serious restraint problem.
A serious restraining problem and unlimited privilege make for sketchy waters.
bit refreshing seeing a billionaire not fucking kids.
So far… I convinced than 99,9% of the bilionaries have one of those secret places epstein style to do things who would make the the movie “Hostel” look like a pg13 shopping mall movie
Clearly screwing up his job now, hehehe
Kids are not subordinates or chinese intelligence, so they wouldn’t even move the needle in ‘newsworthiness’ in this sad state of affairs.
