There was a day, not too long ago, where I’d seriously considered buying a Tesla. And I nearly did.

As of today, I for one will never buy a single Tesla product - not a car, not a truck, not a battery, not a robot, whatever - for as long as I live.

And no decision from Tesla leadership will change my mind at this point. Fuck them.

Even if that makes me a crazy old man 30-40 years from now when all this is in the past. Never means never.

That’s where the jobs are.

Not much for good paying work in podunk towns.

I didn’t know it was considered a tankie instance when I signed up, and I’m not a tankie, fwiw.

If you’re not aware, Palantir is named after the scrying tools used by the bad guys in The Lord of The Rings.

Peter Thiel is an evil nerd.

All my neighbors are MAGA

We should never allow MAGA a single moment’s peace then.

Yeah, but these kids spend the majority of their time on phones and tablets, not PCs, and many of ’em don’t even really know what a “file” or “folder” is. Everything just does its cloud save thing.

Yes, the future is here and it fucking sucks.

As a chronic procrastinator, I ain’t doing shit.

They kicked us off of Reddit, dude.

It’s called “work,” not “play.”

You just do what you gotta do for the money.

I dunno, man.

All I know is that open-mindedness is far less common than I’d once assumed.

And there are those people who aren’t actually interested in truth, but are instead interested in “winning,” because they see every conversation as a power struggle, with a winner and a loser (and as such, language is merely a tool to be wielded for gaining and maintaining social power, not actually finding out things for their own sake). Part of that game can include pretending to be curious and interested in truth, because of the positive image that can project for them.

When those of us who are actually curious about the world interact with one of these types, it can be quite a confusing and frustrating experience if we don’t know what we’re dealing with.

Same! This is 100% on my radar now.

Hell yeah

No stereo is a bit spartan, but definitely a move in the right direction regardless. I want one.

I overlocked my Pentium 133 to 150.

I was such a badass.

Anon has never heard of lamps, either.

Cool, I’m done with Perplexity.

This lady has been divorced twice.

Not that I otherwise care. Do what you want with your life and relationships - life is complex and difficult at times. Not every relationship works out, sadly.

But for a twice-divorced lady to tell women to “submit to men,” it sounds like she herself has a problem keeping her trap shut and submitting to a man. The hypocrisy is so thick here you can cut it with a knife.

Rules for thee but not for me.

Pope Francis did nearly nothing to clean his own house of the kiddie diddlers.
