I don’t think people on the global political scale should be given this kind of pass.

Not really a side note, this is just the tip of the “American stupidity and overconfidence that got us here” iceberg.

regrettable

Hmm, that’s a strange way to spell “planned ambush”.

Yeah, sounds like a great policy that helps disappointed customers from making further mistakes. As fucked up as this is to say… thanks Elon? shudder

Given how many issues it has had so far, doesn’t that place it on the opposite side of the spectrum from the Hilux? Isn’t this akin to submitting a tiny, rotten tomato into a worlds biggest vegetable competition?

I look at it this way. There are a lot of people being harmed by Musk’s actions that didn’t choose to put themselves in harm’s way. That is not these people. I reserve my sympathy for those that had no hand in getting fucked over by a billionaire. People who either chose to put themselves in harm’s way and those that chose to ignore all of the signs that they were putting themselves in harm’s way can get in fucking line.

Sadly, they get everything they voted for and so does everyone else. They “are fine” with people suffering, and because of this everyone else is forced to suffer and/or watch other suffer.

They deserve more bad things than what they voted for. Fuck them.

Yes but the selfishness lies in how he claims he will be fine, without regard for others. Selfish. He isn’t either selfish or ignorant, he is both.

Regarding sympathy - he is no different than the others who voted for this. These kinds of people aren’t ready to have been wrong. So they claim they expected it. His reply is nothing but an attempt to cope with his bad choices.

Both and probably a lot more. He’s pretty confident that this won’t affect him too much. I am sure the leopards continue to circle for a second pass at him.

The problem is that their propaganda machine news sources tell them that DEI means they will hire the lesser, minority applicant over the much, much better white applicant just because they are a minority. The issue is “perception” (in that their perception has been curated for them). You could get every last one of them (save the truly racist) to agree to a system that could be proven to remove race from an identifiable attribute in hiring, not that this is possible in every situation. Sadly, they have been trained to believe that is not the goal for DEI.

The reason these people can’t comprehend lack of belief is because they are stuck thinking god is a default state - that it requires belief to assert it isn’t real. When in fact the concept of god is no different than every other deity, Greek god, unicorn, space teapot… you name it. It is nothing more than a regionally popular unfalsifiable claim. They can’t wrap their minds around who the burden of proof falls on.

Wasn’t this the same justification that America used to send factory jobs overseas? I feel repeating verbatim what the US has stated is the ultimate sign of respect.

Here I was thinking the ratio was also a problem with that math. Full…?

To be fair, enough lithium would essentially tranquilize a horse…

…make a small comment on social media about it, leading to a boycott from their fevered masses and 4 weeks of nonstop conservative media coverage about how despicable of a company they are.

Let’s not forget the tools they already use.

Some people just don’t live theater, that doesn’t mean people are wrong for liking it as a film. And I would posit that the majority of the hype you are seeing for the film is because of its history as a Broadway hit.

I loved this idea at the time but… that roll out screen would just break on every use. That and I doubt people would want a two handed user experience. Plus, how would you text?

a minimum semblance of device care, which I can personally assure you most phone owners do not have.

Don’t… stop… you can only make Apple executives so hard.

Just another “first they came for…” thing with the rich. As soon as they put all the homeless into for-profit labor camp prisons, the poor are next.
