    We’re letting an idiot manchild run multiple major corporations. It’s astounding.

      Welp, we let an idiot manchild run a whole country with the strongest military on earth under his command, and a nuclear arsenal button under his fucking finger. 😂

        Not to take away from this, but it’s a myth that the US president can start a nuclear war by pressing a button, it’s a lot more complicated than this.

          They didn’t even let him nuke a hurricane. I’m starting to wonder what all those nukes are even there for.

              Fun fact, he likely got the idea from Sharknado, since he was supposed to do a cameo in the third one as US president, which he couldn’t when he actually ran for president. In the movie, a “Sharkicane” is attacked with giant bombs.

      What’s wrong with him liking that tweet? Age is just how long we’ve been alive for, we’re all mentally still in our 20’s

        Nothing’s wrong with him liking it. Hiding the fact that he liked it after he got discovered is what makes him a child.

          Not slow your train down because it’s true, but more FYI:

          If he’s actually autistic that’s probably why he behaves that way. I actually am mentally still in my 20s. I can grow all I want, and have, but I still act and think like I’m in my 20s.

        I don’t think anyone is objecting the like, people are objecting the fact that he made a new feature to hide likes on Twitter after this was found out. Looks like HE has an issue with him liking that stuff, not us.

        Not born in the US, so he’s ineligible. Of course he’s also super rich so…

          That doesn’t make you ineligible. Ted Cruz was born in Canada but could and did run to be a presidential candidate. The rule is:

          Be a natural-born citizen of the United States

          That could mean that one or both of your parents are US citizens giving you a US citizenship at birth. It’s just one more reason the whole Obama birther thing was nonsense, his mom is a US citizen so it wouldn’t matter where he was born.

          That said, Elon also does not meet that requirement.

    Anime is mainstream now, so zoomers think it’s “new”. Thing is, the otaku culture predates the internet. I watched anime since the early 1980s. “Old people” can and do watch anime and read manga. It’s not your zoomer sekrit club.

      It’s not so much that it’s anime as it is Elon liking a comment about someone wanting to fuck heavily sexualized teens that look a very specific way…that happens to be in an anime.

      Lemmy doesn’t really hide it as they’re visible to instance owners and shared through federation. Kbin also shows them so I can see the username/instance of the 7 people who upvoted your comment.

        It’s kinda lame that kbin users get to see Lemmy upvotes too. Most Lemmings don’t even know you guys are spying on us like that 🫣

        I think I’d rather have Lemmy make voter identity visible as well, but at least if we can’t see it then neither should you. That’s just rude.

      There is a way to see up votes on Lemmy if you’re an instance admin, which isn’t a super high hurdle. But point taken. Still a bit funny to see how directly his usage informs the mechanics of Twitter.

        Oh noooo. You cannot like the style or looks of a 19 year old anime character if you’re old. That’s illegal.
