It’s the gush gallop, when those kind of intellectually dishonest assholes find themselves in a bad position, they start throwing shit out rapid fire, and then they go “so really, we’re both right, but actually you’re wrong”

You can’t refute the facts, because they’re not real. If you try to nail them down on one, they’ll concede an infinite amount of points and make new ones

The only way to win is to steal the momentum and nail them on questions they can’t answer on camera, then humiliate them

Which is no kind of way to exchange ideas, but that’s not what they’re there for

I mean… I can think of a lot worse things in recent days

This one is just extra transparent, because they’re panicking

I think they removed the graphics of it, but not the effects when you have them in you party

Yeah, because we call it “climate change”. What does that even mean? Sounds long compromise to me

We’d be better off calling it “climate destabilization”

I’m sorry, I’ve been coming at this wrong

Need more sauce for jerking. For OSHA reasons

This has been the case since 9/11. I’m so sick of being looked at like I’m an idiot when I’m remove my shoes, then on the flight back they treat me like an idiot for asking if I have to take them off

I like the furries because they’re really accepting

But come on…Understanding how progressive movements fail and how it’s usually because the CIA destabilized the regime actually matters.

Especially now. Less circle jerking, more historical analysis with clear messaging

Anti semitic remarks are not the same as anti Israeli remarks

I feel nothing when that guy changed “death, death to the IDF”. Well, maybe a mix of amusement and concern. But I have nothing, at all, to do with the IDF and do not support what they do

When you say, in this context, “I’ll cool it with the anti semitic comments when war criminals are brought to justice”, how do you think that feels?

Don’t take this shit casually, anti semitism goes back to biblical times. I’ve experienced it growing up. And now, they’re asking new York Jews what they think of “their” prime minister? They’re “othering” us already

They just built a concentration camp. In America. The Holocaust wasn’t the first time they targeted the Jews as the enemy within. I’ve always reminded my family who start flirting with conservatism… We’re always second. When they run out of people that look different, we’re next

I know what you meant. But that’s not what you said, and words matter

So I, a jew who has never even been to Israel, who’s ancestors left centuries ago, am responsible for the state of Israel in any fucking way?

Jewish does not mean Israeli… At all.

I have a neat trick. I say “if I were a me, where would I have put this?”

I don’t remember where things belong, but I know immediately that I would put vitamins in the cabinet, on the counter, on the table, or in a travel bag. There’s basically nowhere else I’d put them unless something very unusual happened, so then I’d look to see if they fell from one of these places

Yeah, but what do you do with that? Just give up?

You’re not going to convince everyone, but every once in a while someone will dig into it. It keeps the knowledge alive

He worked really hard to thread the needle between capitol and some actually progressive policies

Which, in the effort to avoid making enemies, just basically pissed off everyone, because it took a nibble of the profits for the tiniest wins possible

But I’m sure it was a lot of work

When an actual Jewish person comes out against Israel, they just call them a self hating Jew. Yup. Nothing antisemitic about that. They must just really want to protect Jewish people from… checks notes… ourselves.

This is scary to me. Like when reporters started going up to random Jewish people in New York and asking about “your prime minister”

I didn’t think they would start “othering” us so fast

Yo, put up some context or you’re just circle jerking. Not everyone knows those historical deep takes, everyone not in the know will dismiss this as some level of conspiracy theory without sauce

Messaging matters

Amateur. My dream job was just to exist in nature without a job, just creating to create, and instead I’m constantly tempted with employment

Yes, electronics are very cheap… But remember the part where they also have a mechanical mechanism? They have two systems, where most cars have this very simple lock that connects to a tiny motor assembly. It’s literally a piece of plastic and a few wires

The tablet thing is true, they’ve changed cars to computerize everything, and once you’ve done that you can connect everything over a network. Every button needs to do back to a chip to become a digital signal, so before you had these complex one-off wiring harnesses for everything

But the tablet thing is again, common. It makes sense, it’s just worse

But Elon is a unique case. Elon likes to actually make decisions, because he thinks he’s Tony Stark. He actually goes down into teams and hangs out, and they have to just work around whatever decisions he makes. It’s present in all of his companies, but you can see it most in Twitter, because they didn’t have time to build a team to strategically distract him when he comes to visit

This absolute idiot has spent the last month trying to get grok to be a literal Nazi. First, he added a bunch of white genocide to the prompt, making it change the topic to that from any question for a few days.

Now it’s responding all confused, and saying things like “I never gave Jeffrey Epstein tours of spaceX or Tesla” when asked it Elon did it. Seems to me they fed Elon’s tweets in the RAG system in a amateur way

He micromanages and meddles constantly… That’s what he does at his companies

For a counterexample, Jeff Bezos. He was heavily involved in the fire phone, and had some genuinely cool ideas… But the priorities were all wrong, so it flopped. He learned his lesson

No, the problem is they engineered something they didn’t need to, because Musk thinks everything should be electric because it’s cool. They had to then engineer a mechanical release, because it was required by law (for good reason)

Mechanical door locks would have been cheaper. The fly by wire in the cyber truck is far more expensive, heavier, and far more dangerous than the very well polished power steering systems every other car uses

Maybe it’s something like they wanted to make more money on repairs or something… But even that they could’ve done better by starting from very common, cheap technology

Let’s be clear… The real problem here is that Elon Musk, opinion having idiot that he is, made decisions from on high with very little understanding of engineering

Because it looks like candy. It feels like jelly. It’s individually wrapped in clear plastic, just like candy

Now, imagine someone leaves one of those on the counter, or in a random drawer. That’s where loose candy lives.

So of course other people, who maybe don’t do laundry and don’t often see tide pods, are going to go “oh, look, candy!”

And then they call poison control as they retch and the cells in the mouth turn to soap, and they get added to the statistics

It’s this neat thing called lying

There’s no Holocaust order because that’s not what they called it and that’s not how things work, but they had plenty of work orders and ‘final solution’ progress reports

Surely the prosecutor was there though, right?

They can also recommend a sentence, which is very problematic since the judge often uses it as a baseline. Especially since they’re also the one negotiating for plea deals
