The comment you were replying to
This omission makes me wonder if they mean Tesla specifically or just using it as an euphemism for everything its overlord touches.
Your comment stated, “They were eroding democracy…”
If I misread your implication, apologies, but the obvious question follows: If not Tesla, who is “they” in that context?
There was a Netflix show called Drifting Dragons I started on. Looks super nice, seems decently written. Its about a crewed ship that goes around hunting and killing dragons for their meat and other bits to sell and eat.
As I’m watching it by about episode 3 I was like… wait a minute, these motherfuckers made whalehunting propaganda and put a thick layer of fantasy anime paint on it. Dropped it right there.
Edit: FWIW I came to the propaganda conclusion a lot faster with Gate (tldr fantasy warp gate opens in Japan. JSDF blows up dragons with fighter jets) but I still watched clips of the fights cuz that shit was funny as fuck.
something something pots n kettles something something
Per capita is the only relevant stat here and its all over the place.
Wow no one wants what everyone has clearly decided is a flavor of the week, and corpos are especially skittish given the questionable legality on AI source material gathering?
Shocking.
In my experience, folks who advertise about not getting their feelings hurt or offended easily are dogwhistling. They know they can’t call folks something like, “triggered libtards” without everyone going, “oh, its those people”
If they’re linking to RT and Breitbart they 100% know what they’re doing.
Although the community of Angoon received a $90,000 settlement from the Department of the Interior in 1973…
Approximately $638,000 now, after inflation. Do with that knowledge what you will. (I recommend being somewhat upset.)
The first Tesla car came out in 2008. Elon was in charge at that point. He was its largest shareholder as of 2004, and it was founded as of 2003. Pretty sure it wasn’t eroding anything in those first 4 carless years.
i mean, hows he gonna run from jail? Or the grave more likely
Does the article state that he was convicted of a serious threat and prove any sort of planning toward implementation?
It states he was arrested under allegations of it and multiple weapons were found. Pretty damn good indicator. To remind you: If the Appalachee guy (whos actions prompted the numerous threats the cop was following up on) had gotten arrested in a similar way multiple people would still be alive right now.
being accused is different from being found guilty
Your point?
being found guilty of a threat is different from being found guilty of a threat and attempting to carry it out
So you agree we should get them for threats or threats with follow through. Glad to hear you’ve conceded the argument.
being found guilty and facing legal consequences is different from being publicly named for doing so
Ok, and?
he’s an effing kid
So were the Columbine guys. Apparently being underage doesn’t stop someone from shooting up a school. I can pull up more underage shooters, I’m sure you can too. The, “Oh its a kid” thing doesn’t hold water.
The title of this thread isn’t
Even if he did it, we have no idea whether it was serious
Thats a point you made, and are now refusing to address. Twice now.
deleted by creator
Its a point you brought up and it warrants addressing.
IIRC the issue with that was super janky hitboxes
Even if he did it, we have no idea whether it was serious
So we shouldn’t take threats of shootings or bomb threats seriously now?
Wow. Just… wow.
Considering his initial (and ongoing, unless the cloudflare stuff got fixed) fuckery, a lack of faith is understandable
deprive a potential shooter of their publicity
Remove a potential shooter from the field you mean?
let an innocent accused resume their lives
Or let potential shooters know they aren’t being ignored until they start blasting.
allow someone in a crisis more opportunity to get treatment/recover without making it worse
Jail can also provide treatment, without the possibility of them snapping and murdering people. Seems reasonable to me.
let the sheriff enact spiteful revenge against someone not convicted
Identifying threats to society is “spiteful revenge” Do you think we should have referred to him as O.B.L. instead of Osama Bin Laden because he wasn’t convicted yet to keep his anonymity? That it was “spiteful revenge” to let folks know who he was? Cmon now.
ruin the life of an accused innocent
or stop a copycat killer.
force someone in a crisis into a more desperate state
who will be locked up and thus unable to act on those urges.
help a perpetrator achieve notoriety
Least sensible of the lot. They’ll be notorious for making threats and going to jail. Much preferrable to murder and jail.
If a nonviable and a viable solution are presented, yes that is how things work. You yourself admitted the solution you presented wouldn’t work. May as well have suggested portable force fields. At least that sounds cool.
A viable solution … that’ll never happen.
So not viable. Okay.
Not as good as Drakengaard (owing to the aforementioned propaganda feel) but nonetheless - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm3bGKMYM_w
