  Don’t hate the timeline, hate the news. There are real people out there still trying to make the world work, getting stepped on, pushed over, marginalized, silenced. They need you. They need all of us. Do not let The Bastards win.

  (I’m still workshopping the “don’t hate the player hate the game” - suggestions are welcome. Words can still inspire people, even before coffee)

    Thanks, friend. Much needed words. Maybe I’ll put my decades of counter strike to good use at some point.

      I hear it pairs well with Super Mario Bros

        I suddenly realize why I was so good at bhopping without scripts. Haha I’d get banned for cheats and never cheated once.

  I fucking hate this timeline.

  I keep seeing people say this. However, hate us what created this timeline. I don’t believe it’s what will get us into a new one.

  I mean no offense towards you; I want you to know this. I guess I just finally realized what it is that bothers me about that statement. In fact, I share your sentiment. Because not only are they poorly made, common sense safety measures are removed and replaced with poorly engineered crap that traps people, while other badly designed components catch fire and burn them to death.

    First time I’ve used this phrase, myself. But I had such hope for the future and I guess I am finally admitting my hope is gone.

      I do not blame you. I just happen to be the most stubborn idiot I know. shrug

      I think the answer is some kind of cynical optimism. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. You never know, they might all die tomorrow in a plane crash or something.

        I was cyncically optimistic 8 years ago.

        My optimism has been completely drained. I don’t care anymore.

        My cynical take on that stance is they probably overstaff the airpots they are flying through to ensure that doesn’t happen. But yea maybe they fall down an elevator shaft.

    That hate came from somewhere.

      Yes? And if you fight fire with fire the whole world burns.

  I still refuse to see it as a truck. The defining feature of a truck is its bed, and the bed on this thing is presented as an afterthought. Covered, undersized, impossible to access from the sides. It’s just a tank. A penis prosthesis for the undersized.

  And SpaceX had such good publicity, also notably one aesthetically the very opposite of sieg heil.

  I mean, aesthetics of Tesla advertising and design and everything were pretty different from SpaceX from the very beginning. I wonder how could Musk be the founder of both. Maybe they’ll find traces of a brain worm in him too. Can’t be solely ketamine.

    I wonder how could Musk

    he’s not a Tesla founder, he only bought it

    • rottingleaf@lemmy.world ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      OK. Then I’d guess it’s him sabotaging the idea of EV’s.

  • HasturInYellow@lemmy.world ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    He has never founded or invented anything. Every business he owns, he bought from others. In some cases he forced them to refrain from claiming to be founders at all. He’s pathetic scum.

    • rottingleaf@lemmy.world ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Apparently he did really found SpaceX. I’m not saying he did everything necessary on C-level to make it a functional company, but that’s not really required (though if we think of such companies as Sun, there one can really see Bill Joy’s deep participation in a lot of different core projects).

    Does it though? I have had a real hard time giving a shit about space fir a while now goven Musk’s musk is tainting it.

      I mean it pretty clearly stated to look more like an escape plan than exploration around when Bezos had his penis rocket

  Guarantee you do nothing about it except bitch and cry “fascism” on the internet, while simultaneously never really knowing what fascism is. You people show your low IQ every day, and I fucking love it so much. “Elon musk is a Nazi fascist” - Yep. Hates Jews, hates niggers, wants to hang little Mexican children. The fact you people think that’s actually reality is fucking insane. No wonder you’re all confused which gender you are.
