  • So people are going to jail over this and proper hard measures are going to be taken to address the obvious imbalance of power that allows companies like this to do this over and over again right? They’re not just going to give the company another slap on the wrist fine that won’t even cover how much money they’ve stolen from people, leaving them still making a profit for doing this and leaving the door wide open for more abuse like that to happen over and over again, right?

    Right?





  • The semantics are making people come out of woodwork to call the whole thing stupid.

    First of all the way I see it, it is true that nobody invents a company, they invent products. But Elon still didn’t even invent the Tesla cars, the SpaceX rockets or the startling satellites. Teams of extremely smart engineers (smarter than him) have invented those for him. He also didn’t even buy Tesla. He placed people who are loyal to him on the board and had them vote him into control of the company while kicking out the original founders.

    But he loves to go around bragging about being a rocket scientist and I bet if Neuralink ever produces something viable he will go around claiming to be a brain surgeon as well.

    And he absolutely bought X and Trump.












  • I still have my 2014 machine. I’ve upgraded it with an M.2 drive and more RAM. Everything else is perfectly fine and I wouldn’t see the difference with a newer machine. I’ll keep it for a long as I can because the longer I wait the better the machine I replace it with will be.

    Also I just wouldn’t know what to do with it after. I can’t bring myself to throwing away a perfectly good machine, but keeping it would be hoarding.

    As the car gets warm, the snow at the bottom melts. Then the idiot parks it to do his groceries or whatever so it cools back down and freezes into a 2 inch thick block of ice. Then they drive on the highway. That block of ice breaks free, flies up in the air, catches in the wind while tumbling which gives it an unpredictable trajectory and smashes the windshield of a car that was unfortunate enough to be further back at that time.

    I know because it happened to me. Had to get a windshield replaced in the middle of a road trip. The dipshit who caused it didn’t even realize what happened and kept driving. The police should absolutely crack down on this instead of all the other petty bullshit they tend to harass people over.
