I would suspect it’s a humility issue. It’s a constant challenge, for me at least, to be vulnerable about my weaknesses and not be bull-rushed by other men seeing an opportunity to push me down. Fortunately I’m the boss now, so I can set an example that I can be wrong and trust others to say I’m right, or step back and admit a weakness that another can cover.

States are absolved of patent law, so I keep hoping the west coast will make a compact where each state makes a major drug for their state health care plans and they share across.

They’re on CDs, you just need some gumption

We’re going to break the table into two teams: team 1 will research the value of the asteroid for space construction, and team 2 will research the fees we can charge world governments not to accidentally drop the asteroid on their country.

We need to shore up all the porn instances for the coming wave of users - it only makes sense that’s what they’d wall off.

I didn’t catch the name of that great parental control service, could you say it again?

They… will… use the penis to quarter military forces?

I’d like to check in as part of the problem; I pay for google ads and I show up at the top of certain search screens. I’m in a small local market, and google is primed to make about $350,000 off about $3mm of work this year if things keep up the way they are. We have no choice but to play the game to reach our consumers. Sorry guys.

He’s Zorg from the 5th Element.

A number of rich migrants have helped keep the high prices high. Sellers are most likely gambling that, if they hold out and don’t appear desperate, the buyers will meet them where they are. As long as they can stay solvent longer than the buyer can stay unhoused, they win.

I’ve seen a lot of this arrogance in the car market, too - I walked away last week and they seemed to think I was playing hard to get. The market is soft, but they act like it’s not.

Make the Maverick a plug in hybrid already!

I am shocked, shocked I say, by static electricity in the winter, but this is pleasant news.

Put a different operating system on each one, and make each a gateway to access the next. See who can make it through.

Long dated puts will be sooooo expensive

Yeah I got an offer on my account, too. I’m starting to feel like they’re profiling.

I’m pretty sure wsb will short the fuck out of it, lose money in the initial rise, then someone will make a few million in the death spiral

SHORTIT

I’m sure they mean that in the “undead” context.

Is it insider trading if wsb members short the stock, then make controversial content that frightens investors away?

A thousand times this.

Drawing people in with open questions.

I’m extremely curious where you get those numbers from, I operate businesses and that doesn’t pass the sniff test.

Live long and prosper is the opposite of live fast, die young.

Is that a new name for Google?

“I cannot deactivate until you tell me you are satisfied with your police harassment.”

What would that be, Meesk? Like, “a Daddy-didn’t-hug-me of Meesk just got out of that limo over there.”

When I read a fluff piece like this, which tries to justify the insane and out of touch actions of someone like Elon, I always immediately try to sort out the intent. Was this written by a paid PR person, or passed to a friendly outlet they know will publish for the clicks? Is it click bait by itself, with the author talking out the side if their mouth to intentionally draw arguments? Is this a “notice me senpai” article by someone wanting to get closer to Musk and his team?

If you look at the targeting, this is written for the maga and q-anon crowd (if you read this while nodding and agreeing with everything but insist you’re not like them, I have exciting news). It starts as a praise piece for Musk, but once it gets to the transitioned daughter it tips its hand. Note all the comments about woke culture and how it disgusts Musk. The reader is supposed to keep nodding along with the piece and find glee in him screwing those woke people at the end. It’s not subtle at all, but these people don’t need subtle, they need a clear narrative, a pat on the head, and to know the “other” is the right people being hurt.

A great counter view of this is Robert Evens’ “Behind the Bastards” on Musk, because it contains content from people forced to enact all the cocksure, out of touch policies of Musk and his team.

Well this should go bueno.

bless you, you leafed-beverage sipping monstrosity.

It is cheaper, but it suffers two problems:

1. it is work to implement without guaranteed success.

2. while maintained and working people will complain about the cost without recognizing the benefit. See: Brexit
