  • Elon hits the red button
  • Neither the neoliberal technologists and futurists he charmed nor MAGA are on his side any more.

    This is true. The only people that will remain loyal to Mush are centrists/ politically disinterested people. I think that will turn out to be a lot of people, but not enough to really do any damage. I can see some neolibs who bought Teslas stanning for him in the hopes they will regain some of the value in their vehicles.

    I'm more concerned with Musk's wealth, he can do a lot of damage with that still. Not as much as the government can do, but not insignificant either. If he feels like he is being attacked, I can see him doing some really disgusting things to get revenge.

    I’d be curious where Peter Thiel stands, the handler of Vance.

    My guess is as long as Trump plays by the rules and continues to chicken out on the Tarrifs, people like Theil will be content to stay in the background, silently pulling the strings. As soon as he starts actually hurting peoples bottom lines, that's when we will see dissent. That is almost certainly why Musk cut and ran.

    If Thiel backs the impeachment Thiel will become president and that might align with their goals to dismantle democracy in the US.

    I think people like Theil and Trump are equally committed to dismantling democracy (in practice if not in name), so I don't think it matters who is running things. They have to be careful about it too, since they have propped him up and Trump is a megalomaniac who actually thinks he deserves to be where his and his base are rabidly, stupidly obedient to him.

  • Elon hits the red button
  • I'd say that Musk was just as big of a part of MAGA as anyone else. Quite a bit more than most really because he ran a whole ass government agency so he and Trump could harm their political/business opponents.

    Even though the Leopard ate his face, he still voted for/ promoted/ worked for/ and donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the Leopard. Musk is in no way a victim here.

    Sure, he got 'chewed up' (I guess), but so did Hitlers supporters when they outlived their usefulness. It's really not surprising.

    Nobody on the Republican side gives a shit about him.

    Name anybody (besides themselves) that they do care about? Caring about people isn't exactly the Republicans strong suit.

    I agree it's not really a 'turning point' but don't underestimate the number of people (MAGAt's or not) who are Musk ball lickers. Those people will 'pick a side' and not everyone will choose Trump. They are both Fascists though, so the people end up losing either way.

  • what is north?
  • Sure, if you happen to already know where the Wedell Sea is or if you look it up it you can reasonably locate it, in which case adding the "north of Antarctica" part is superfluous. But if you don't already know where the Wedell Sea is, adding in the "north of Antarctica" part doesn't actually narrow it down any, which is why it's a funny thing to point out.

    If they had wrote "just north of Antarctica" or "off the coast of Antarctica" or "near Antarctica", that would have narrowed it down significantly.

    Now that I have thoroughly explained the joke, I imagine it's much funnier now.

    I'm sure that "Mark "Three-Jabs" Newton" and the rest of us who found this funny were able to deduce from the context that is actually what the writer meant . That isn't what they actually wrote though so "sp3ctr4l" is not only incorrect in asserting that Mark has "poor reading comprehension", he is also wrong that 'reading the whole thing' would have clarified things and was extremely condescending about his incorrect statement at the same time, which makes him kind of an ass imo.

    He was correct that Mark was "intentionally being a little shit" so 1 out of 3 wouldn't have been so bad if he weren't such a douche about it at the same time.

  • What was your first computer?
  • IBM 386DX with a 'turbo' button.

    I used Apple II's in school and older "IBM" PC's but my family never got one. I had to buy one myself once I moved out.

    I remember learning to write BASIC and Logo programs in grade school. I even went to 'computer camp' during summer school, but that was more 'play Oregon Trail/ Carmen San Diego and print out basic ass ascii art' than learning.

    Weirdly, after 6th grade the whole 'computer literacy' thing at our school quietly disappeared. In 8th grade I learned to type, on an actual typewriter. Maybe they thought the whole 'computer' thing was a fad, or they could have just been cheapskates. Idk.

  • what is north?
  • We all probably understood that's what they meant but it's funny and not super clear. "The Weddell Sea just north of Antarctica." or "The Weddell Sea near Antarctica." work much better.

  • Microsoft Gives European Union Users More Control: Uninstall Edge, Store, and Say Goodbye to Bing Prompts
  • To get pedantic for a second. The title of this post is "Microsoft gives..." as if this was an altruistic act that Microsoft decided to do for some people, when the article states they did it to comply with a law.

    A much better title would have been "EU Forces Microsoft to Give Users More Control:" It returns the credit to the people who deserve the credit and clarifies that it wasn't something Microsoft did willingly.

  • Satanic Math
  • In addition to what others have said, sadly the myth persists among some people. I have a good friend who I used to play Magic: The Gathering with. I had been playing for years before I met him (since 3rd edition) and had a pretty decent collection, and he invested a lot of money in cards in the next few years.

    At one point I was moving away to a place where I didn't know anyone and needed to travel light, so instead of selling my collection I gave them to him.

    I ended up coming back to my home state and we became roommates. Then he became 'born again' and instead of giving me those cards back, he burnt them all.

    I'm not really mad at the guy for it, he was doing what he thought was right, but I do regret giving him the cards in the first place.

  • The solution to many problems
  • How exactly would they "Get in trouble"? Are we talking like bans or something?

    For the record if anyone is in that position, I encourage you to PM me and we could talk there. I certainly don't want to cause problems for anyone.

  • I'm not really into politics
  • Exactly, I actually hate politics with a firey passion and would love nothing more than to be able to ignore it. But I hate the current state of affairs even more, so I am forced to pay attention.

    It's like how I dislike wiping my ass, but I love having a clean asshole. Sometimes you have to do things you don't like to get the preferred outcome.

  • Roommate refuses to use my body wash cause it's not "manly"
  • What gets me is that, according to the gender stereotype, women enjoy the flowery type scents, so you would think that if ladies find that pleasing that men would want to smell that way.

    Personally, I like to smell clean and I don't buy soap based on the color of the bottle or whether it says "for men" in it. My shampoo/conditioner has a nice citrus aroma, but more importantly it does a great job on my hair.

  • Roommate refuses to use my body wash cause it's not "manly"
  • The normal, comfortable way. If you are a man you have to hike your foot up so that it is resting above the knee on your opposite leg.

    Ladies can't do that because you might see up their dress. Because ladies always wear dresses.

  • The solution to many problems
  • I live alone and actively wish I could die. I'm not hurting anyone but myself.

    I am glad that it's not cool with the younger generations, and that the whole vaping fad kinda died back.

    Still though, the amount of self righteousness and lack of empathy from some non smokers really makes me glad that I will never have to hang out with those types of people.

    Addiction is a hell of a thing, and when the alternative is worse than quitting, it's extremely difficult to quit.
