So if they credited you the $0.19 would you feel better? That’s what 9 hours at $15 a month works out to. 19 cents. Are you actually throwing this big a fit over 19 cents? That’s already rounded up by the way.

Man, literally there to compete in the Olympics, a lifetime level achievement, is it that hard to just keep your shit together for that little while?

That just means their stakeholders deserve the financial ruin that’s coming to them.

Seriously, it sounds like some “Both Sides” bullshit.

Sounds to me like all advertisers should just assume that on Xitter, their ads will show alongside Nazi/Alt-Right/Hateful content. GARM, the project that Elmo just killed, used to inform them when that sort of thing happened. So with the warning system down, Ad companies should revert to a fail-safe state and abandon the platform completely.

And the rest of us should ABSOLUTELY make a habit of blasting out screenshots of ads next to heinous shit, and ask the company why they support that kind of content.

Don’t forget the customers of the restaurant also saw the head chef personally farting on all the plates before the food was placed on them. It’s not just the health inspector’s report.

Do it. Fucking do it, man, I WANT it to happen. Mash that self-destruct like there’s no tomorrow, Spez, see how low you can go!

He’ll also trample absolutely any rules necessary to support speech he happens to agree with.

Weird choice. These days I’d bet the absolute best thing Bing, or any other search engine, could do to stand out in the search game would be to explicitly not use AI results. The advertising is so easy you don’t even need AI to write it for you.

Montage of a few blatantly wrong AI generated answers telling people it’s okay to cook with gasoline in your sauce or that drinking a little bit of bleach is healthy or whatever… then cut to a list of well respected sources that say otherwise. “The internet is already good enough at feeding you wrong answers. Search the way it’s meant to be.”

The question posed was not what the impact would be if this source of oxygen were mined, and thus no longer contributing oxygen. The question was whether or not we could replicate this on the surface as a source of oxygen.

The answer is that it simply is not necessary. We have plenty of oxygen, what we need are means to sink CO2, which electrolysis does not do.

The fantasy of a pioneering life on Mars is an easy one to love, especially if we assume it’s actually well enough established that you have all the excitement of Frontier life and none of the struggle to survive. It’s not gullibility, it’s hope.

Then we think about it and ask ourselves what worker abuses Musk has perpetrated here on earth, and what would he do when Earthly laws can no longer apply. The more I think about what it would be like in the SpaceX Mars Colony, the more dystopian it gets.

I’d say this is a great time for even more advertisers to abandon that platform, but really anyone who would care about this should have left a long time ago.

Also don’t forget, he buys companies that are already successful and then rewrites their history to say he founded them, and then he tells engineers to do a thing and takes the credit when those engineers figure out how to do it.

I will, however, readily believe that most of the Cybertruck was actually his idea, probably initially drawn in crayon.

It’s almost funny really. Way back when, his goals were commendable. The proliferation of electric cars was an Eco-friendly dream. Tesla battery projects were poised to expand renewable energy source utilization. Basically everything SpaceX was doing with reusable rockets was just really cool to the nerd demographic. All he had to do was shut the fuck up, let the work speak for itself, and people would still like him. Not without black marks on his record, of course, but on balance, people would probably like him.

But no. Elmo couldn’t shut the fuck up, a problem he continues to have at every turn, and people learned who he really is. His electric vehicle baby stopped being the scrappy upstart with teething problems, and started being a manufacturing disaster that had loose production tolerances matched only by the loose tolerances on what qualified as acceptable working conditions. SpaceX decided that cluttering orbit with thousands of disposable satellites was cool, and the environment and astronomy could fuck off. The only stories about Tesla Batteries that followed were about how quickly they lost their capacity and how expensive they were to replace. And Elmo himself bought a globally known communications company, immediately obliterated it’s value, and turned it into a cesspit of literal Nazis. And this is the abridged list.

All Elon Musk had to do was shut the fuck up and people would have liked him. Just goes to show that “Just be yourself” is really shitty advice for some people.

They certainly can, but they really shouldn’t. I can hardly think of anywhere in the country that would be more hostile to trans students.

How fun would it be if the next Texas power grid failure manages to cause serious damage to Apartheid-Baby’s pet project?

no.

I miss the days when I was surprised to hear that Russia probably deliberately blew up a hospital.

Yeah I’m sure that’ll… help? Israel is the one dropping airstrikes on refugee camps, what makes anyone think they actually want any aid in Gaza at all?
