Topics on the side. "Gaming, Sports, Business, Crypto..." Reddit trying really hard to pretend it's not just around for porn and memes. Also, crypto lol. Tech bro a little harder, spez.

that may have been a lie the whole time.

Musk's taint on the brand is I think majorly based on this type of thing. His twitter purchase has revealed that he's a serial liar, and now people are seeing all of the ways that it is happening with Tesla. People tolerate assholes all of the time. What they don't want to tolerate is snake oil salesmen, and I'm not sure there has ever been a bigger one than Musk.

Remember that time he offered to solve world hunger but then didn't because "nah" basically?

You know, if you skip that first sentence in my comment, what country would you think I was talking about?

Fascism happens slowly, and then all at once. Please, I beg of you, read a book.

If Trump wins re-election, I think it's entirely non-hyperbolic to say that democracy in this country is over. Think of the things he tried to do with some, obviously-too-small, guard rails. He attempted a literal coup. Literally throw away votes. Literally has one of his chief advisors saying that if people protested said coup, they would use the insurrection act, or more directly, use the military to put down to put down those protesting the coup. There is a very small number of things that prevented this from happening, not the least of which is just a tiny handful of people being like "uh, we can't actually do this, right?"

I remember when my kids were small and I would make them come inside when it would get dark and a fit would be thrown as if I controlled the sun and this was an injustice I was creating. IDK why that popped into my head.

Which is why we don't need to debate. It's like being invited to a debate on whether water is wet.

Like, I generally wouldn't wish this type of thing on someone, but I think about how many people are going to die as a result of him stealing a SC seat and ramming ACB through, or even just his stonewalling anything an Obama tried to do just so Obama couldn't get the W regardless of how many people's lives were hurt, ruined, or ended, and I gotta say, I really wonder what I'm having for dinner tonight. I think I'll have a dessert though, maybe ice cream, but open to suggestions.

Chuck Norris memes were barely funny the first time and he’s a crazy asshole now.

This. I don't need to win, I just want Meta to lose.

They should be? I mean, not just for the crime, but in general privacy should be the default.
