This could still absolutely be orchestrated to rehab Musk's image, but there's no way it will "fix his stocks". For the most part, the only people who would be caught dead buying Teslas recently were MAGA freaks. And now he's alienated them with his feud with Dear Leader. After the share price was already falling and Teslas sales were down over 70%, at least in the US. I think it will truly nosedive now...

Wow, she seems like a really awesome person.

My ♾️ tabs suggests Firefox does not, in fact, manage them.

Well, I do. So fuck him, and fuck you too!

Do you think an obscenely wealthy individual owner vs a publicly-traded company owned by a group of them solves the fundamental issue?

Yet somehow not as aggressive as your comment.

1 vote. Out of 435... Of course it had a meaningful impact. And if you don't think a significant amount of wealthy MAGAts buy Teslas because of the convenience of not having to go to gas stations and because they support Musk/Trump, you're kidding yourself. Maybe they're not as supportive of the renewable, clean energy part of it as Democrats and Independents, but way too many people bought Cybertrucks after Musk showed who he really is...

When I think of someone addicted to meth, it's someone that's lost it all, or is in the process of losing it all. They have run out of favors and couches to sleep on for a night, they are unemployed, and they certainly have no money or health insurance to seek recovery. And of course I know there are "functioning" addicts just like there's functioning alcoholics. Maybe my ignorance is its own level of privilege, but that's what I imagine...

And for learning!

 

Started S01E01 of Community and I couldn't help noticing this:

Sorry for calling out this random extra, but he's clearly wearing a left "over the ear" style set of earbuds on his right ear. Do you think the prop master just gave them out, or did he get confused and force it into the wrong ear...?

Commented on a post with the most recent (non-Breitbart) headline and updates. Added this with 3 independent sources:

FYI, Breitbart is a far-right, low-quality source.

Media Bias Fact Check

Media Bias Chart

AllSides

Mod apparently didn't like a more reputable source being added to their post because it was removed in minutes lol.

reason: Rule 6 Violation

Rule 6: Using the Poisoning The Well fallacy to attack sources shared in a post is presently not allowed (this rule may change in the future, and isolated instances will not subject you to a permanent ban)

Just admit you want an echo chamber to spread disinformation and promote biased articles! Using this rule to police sources is very thinly-veiled censorship...

 

Is Sync still being actively supported/worked on? Also, I found out today I can't unblock another user, tried multiple times, they're still on the list and I can't see their comments. Thanks in advance!

Gig Souls? (self.shittydarksouls)
 

Not sure if this is allowed, so feel free to remove:

My new favorite "fuck around" activity is to employ "gig phantoms". I summon a friendly phantom, then wave and run toward a dog or easy enemy. I point toward it, at which point they dispatch it! I then emote Joy, or Jump for joy, drop the Thank You carving, leave them 1 Ember, then send them home. If you haven't tried it, it's absolutely hilarious...

WTF is a risa!? (self.risa)

Hello. It's hugely annoying to look at "community information" and find just an in-joke that won't make sense to most people, and no explanation of what this community is about. I'm sure that's fine for those already initiated, but I still don't know what "risa" means!

Don't worry, I also know you don't care that outsiders are kept out-of-the-loop and maybe even want to keep them out...? Well, that's fine; it's your community, but just a reminder that the casual browser will probably filter this community after several spammed posts that don't even clarify where their interests lie...

EDIT: Don't worry, I'm gone, and I've turned off reply notifications... I have even watched Star Trek! But don't fret, your caustic and hostile replies have ensured you're safe from the curiosity of myself and others, they won't bother you any more! Enjoy your gatekeeping...
