Are you the kind of guy that says that all things that serve no purpose except for entertainment should be banned?

I am of the opposite school. I think practical things are fine and dandy, but the things that make us human, make life worth living, are all "useless".



This is some terry pratchett level craziness.

Nah, its not that they were trespassing. Its that they were trespassing while shouting that they were going to hang pence. It was because they were part of a group that attacked police officers. The goal of the trespassing counts.

There are different narratives describing J6. Not everyone who entered the capitol was calling for a Pence hanging. Some who never entered the Capitol were later arrested for somehow trespassing on the surrounding grounds (because of unannounced security protocols). The number of undercover FBI agents present among the J6 protestors has never been revealed, and the FBI has a history of inciting terror to obtain convictions.

Not everyone was calling for the murder of a VP, but everyone who did is walking free - with everyone who attacked the police. Which narrative is that?

I’d hope, as I think you do, that those only guilty of association would find themselves exonerated.


Anything [prefix]maxxing just sounds so bad. It just feels so Andrew Tate...


It's more Clavicular than Andrew Tate.


Its because the president used to have a modicum of respect for the house and the Senate. So the president did have the sole right to send military anywhere on the planet and even launch nukes without any need for congressional permission. This is by design. But the other presidents were a bit less crazy so we never noticed.


I agree. Was annoyed by it.


Play and read simultaneously. Its nice.


Are you guys 12

To chatgpt? Claude I believe, but chat?


There is a pretty interesting study of a large group of chimps. I dont remember where exactly but they have been civil warring the last 15 years or so. Point is, it seems that there is some kind of innate group formation process.


just saying: he is good at vaporware on a large scale and kind of a fucked up person. It's not weird people are skeptical. But he also has basically an endless money supply so he can throw money at problems and make them go away eventually. But his timelines are basically all lies used to get venture and retail money into the game.


That describes basically all founders though, minus the endless money supply. That's how business/sales works: make promises, build product later.

Also SpaceX, Tesla, PayPal, OpenAI, Grok and Neuralink aren't vaporware...

The claim fundamentally doesn't make any sense.


Cybertruck, Semi, Hyperloop, robotaxi, point-to-point rocket travel, tunnels, the list goes on.

Making promises and "it's essentially ready, it's just about regulators" are quite different, if not for Trump he'd be done for securities fraud.


Hyperloop was never a Musk project — it was a back of the napkin suggestion he gave away.


All of those exist or are being worked on, so I don't get it. Except maybe hyperloop, which was abandoned afaik.

What are you even trying to say? That these projects are totally fake? AI generated or something? Like the Moon landing was fake?


Of course they are real, just like Theranos, except that one was less fraudulent.


The one with sales in seven countries and over 50,000 vehicles driving on roads?
