David Bowie's song "Five Years," which Meta used in a supposedly inspiring advertisement, is about humans learning that they have five years left to live before the apocalypse.

    I’m beginning to think that when he was a boy - this Zuckerberg fellow tortured small animals.

        He wouldn’t allow an animal within 500 metres of him, he has people to torture the animals for him now.

    A lot of songs have dissonance between the emotions conveyed by the melody and the lyrics or between lines and chorus. This one doesn’t.

    I can never tell if they’re just laughing at us and drooling at the thought of massacring the entire working class, or if they are just so damn incompetent and out of touch that they would just not understand the irony of using a song like this.

      FYI you left the tracking info on the link, which lets people see your account and lets google construct a network of connected IPs

      The ?is= and everything after it should be deleted
