It’s possible that they were fighting because of something someone did earlier. It may (or may not) have had anything to do with being horny. I’m just open to the possibility that the one lead to the other, even if there’s no archeological or lyrical record of it. Sometimes you find this stuff in the subtext.

Imagine people paid any money at all for this

That’s a stunningly good picture of Jordan Peterson. Usually he looks like a piece of very well used chamois cloth.

I’d prefer he see (just ever so briefly, for the adrenaline and fear effect) the belt sander running at high speed that was about to remove his face.

This is why when people discuss this subject, and use terms like “we need to”, a big part of me knows it’s just that they “want to”. A huge chunk of what we feel is necessity is, at best, “comfort subsidies” for our cushy lifestyles (and lest I be accused of tone deafness, I mean cushy in comparison to those in the developing countries you mentioned. “Less polluted and oppressed for the comfort of others” cushy). While it’s true that too much change too soon means lots of people starve, I don’t really think we actually know what we need.

can’t afford to protest.

I sincerely hope ruminating about the economics of your past lives are enough to keep you mentally occupied and busy while you’re in a detention facility.

Sorry but isn’t this the inevitable result of the words and ideals he and other conservative flatulence mouthpieces keep off-gassing? Don’t words mean things, and don’t those things imply concrete action or intent? Maybe we should have been hearing the intent.

Personally, I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.

And then, for the coup de grace, immediately deny that there even is or was ever such a social network, and insist it was another one of their “wacky dreams”. And then later, they come to you to prove you wrong.

Boom. Incepted.

As an owner of both, my 2020 Ioniq BEV easily feels better than my previous civic, and my Subaru (though I’d want the suby for anything challenging terrain-related). Best car I’ve owned.

I’d be willing to be your friend is not a Lex Luthor-esque billionaire with plans for world domination. Sorry but cannot countenance equivocation with respect to Musk, there are scarcely comparable human beings with his malice and ability to project ill will.

Edited to add: I didn’t actually downvote you, nor suggest you were taking his side in my reply. What I did to was take the time to engage, and suggest you came off as not understanding the threat Musk posed vs “taking his side”. Feeling a bit like you are working overtime for the persecution angle here.

Send that shit into the sub basement.

No, it looks like you just want to understand, but don’t. I think the vitriol you’d get us because ppl assume either:

• how can you not understand or
• understanding is irrelevant, you don’t need to understand cancer to know it’s pathological and bad. I fall into this camp.

I think most don’t want to understand him, they want him gone. Threat assessment. I can relate; he needs to get got.

FUCK. Look. I just got this gig. I’ve served one lousy table after one lousy time jump. FFS I just started yesterday!

Please tell me I’m still eligible.

I wonder why anyone would want an “AI girlfriend” or whatever ridiculous thing tech bros are trying to shoehorn monetization into to capitalize on the pervasive disconnect in society today.

And then, when I read a post like yours, referring to someone like that, it all suddenly makes sense. Given the choice, I’d also rather spend time with unthinking silicon than an asshole who talks to people like you do.

Haha I can personally attest to it being slightly more complex than that on Linux, but true for OSX.

The wealthy are not smart enough to plan the collapse

The wealthy are the cause of it. Cancer ain’t gonna get to curing cancer…

Cask of Amontillado style. I love it. Last thing we do before sealing the air vents is chuck a stinkbomb in it.

“Police academy 2” taught me that in America, talk is cheap.
