    It’s that daft haircut, he’s adopted a different style recently and suddenly looked 10x more human.

    No amount of barbers can disguise the blokes behaviour though.

      IIRC, he does that to resemble Caeser Augustus or something to that effect…

      if you’re talking about that recent pic of him floating around with a chain and a bread, that was an AI doctored photo

        Ugh yes I was told to prepare for that. I will try some of your burnt replicated bird meat.

      The thing is… everyone is a regular guy.

      All the movie stars, famous musicians, politicians and renowned scientists, yes, those are all regular guys too. They eat, shit and fall asleep on a pillow every night or about as much as regular people do and usually not all at once. 2 arms 2 legs 1 head and so. Mostly. A bit above average perhaps, but generally they have a regular number of limbs.

      Mark likely does all those regular things just as well as regular guys.

      However… Someone who goes on a live stream to introduce his new cutting edge technology by staring into a camera without blinking for 45 minutes endlessly mumbling about smoked meats while rocking a caesarian haircut. That’s also perfectly regular… for a lizard.

        Think circumstances, achievements, influence. About their status, wealth, talents, impact.

        Basic human functions: “normal” (except for the maid cleaning their skid marks off the bowl, the million thread count pillowcase).

        Almost anything else: distinctly unique. When he gets sad or injured, his care’s different. When he fights with his wife, their opportunities for mediation are different. His most basic human needs can be met lavishly. He is capable of having needs we can only dream of.

        The fact a billionaire poops is kinda the least interesting or perhaps relevant thing I can think of, but maybe I’m missing a part of the perspective.

          I’m not even sure if the previous poster was being serious, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone actually thinks of Mark Zuckerberg as a regular dude, because he’s so dorky and awkward that it’s relatable for some people.

          It’s pretty clear that the guy has affuenza and having trouble with social relations. I don’t hate that about him, but it doesn’t mean that I will ever consider him to be a regular guy. Like many other rich kids, he never had to grow up and grow out of the juvenile belief that money is the end goal. He’s still a 15 year old thinking it’s clever to cheat and win in monopoly.

          He’s a character though, and I like that about him. The world could generally benefit from having more oddballs, instead of billionaire eccentrics. In this way, I’d award him 1 more charisma point than Elon Musk.

            money is the end goal

            What does drive this guy?

            That’s right, it seems the awkwardness extends to managing his billions. (Wouldn’t us normal people lobby our politicians to increase our tax rates? And take a tiny bit of the plentiful amount left over to buy the most comfortable, if not the nicest and fastest, car available?)

            1 more charisma point

            I’ll have to go in on that to make it double.

            Zuck: a seemingly good guy operating a company that’s often bad for America and bad for the world

            Elmo: an enormous jerk somehow still operating multiple companies that, best case scenario, could be great for the world

            Eyeball licker is a clear winner!

              Well, that’s fair. I have to point out that the tabloids are pulling a lot of words out of very little data. Exactly the opposite of what Zuckerberg does. He might very well play them like a fiddle.

              Anyway, another plus for him is that his phone number is publicly available. I’d like to call him up some day just to talk about meat, while I never really have any reason to call Elon.

          I was only taught one comma rule in English: "if in doubt, leave it out ". In this case I would advise you to leave it in.

    Mortar shells? uhhh I’m not sure what mortar shells he’s been around or how he’s cooking that meat but those are two sounds that should not align.
