He loved being the left’s guy, but then the federal government started investigating his companies and he realized that he needed Trump to keep him out of trouble. He literally said in an interview that if Harris won, “I’m fucked.” Now that he’s aligned with the most hated administration in history, he’s holing up and keeping quiet. He got what he needed, and I’m assuming that now he’s hoping we’ll all forget and he’ll cozy up to the Democrats if they ever regain power.
I did know that. But I think you give him more credit of self-awareness than he has. Elon Musk is a vacuous ego with a lot of money. I don’t believe he has the depth of mind to actually hold any political ideology, for good or ill. I think he is singularly focused on being the Best Boy, and will ape anything that helps him feel that way.
A lot of people talking about their own feelings on the subject, but my opinion is that humans are the result of their upbringing. Your parents, your friends, the media you consume, the schools you go to, the strangers you interact with, the religion you are told defines you, all impact your understanding of the world and how you interact with other people. What makes someone monogamous vs someone who isn’t? It could be any and all of those things. Hell, it could be an article in a magazine that someone read when they were 12 years old. We are the results of our influences, and even more than that.
Gonna have to disagree there.
Brave New World was a managed dystopian utopia. We’re in an unmanaged mess. The only thing we have in common is the distractions.
He’s just an edgelord. He thinks he’s funny and edgy and everyone wants to be his friend. Inside he’s a scared little boy who wants his daddy to love him but his daddy is a nazi who hates him.
Definitely that for me. I can force my brain to remember that the apple in question is red, but then my brain will question WHAT EXACTLY IS RED? AND IF RED WHICH RED??? AND SHOULDN’T THERE BE SOME GREEN IN THERE TOO? HOW MUCH? OH WAIT NOW YOUR APPLE IS GREEN. NO, THAT’S NOT WHAT YOU WANTED. APPLES HATE US! and now all of a sudden I’m focusing on a rotten apple core and my ADHD is working out what it would take to turn that apple core into a sapling and how long will it take to make a fruiting apple tree from those seeds? And now my boss is asking me what tf have I accomplished since 8am this morning
…and I can tell you the one thing I DIDN’T do this morning was draw an apple because how do you get 10,000 shades of color from red and black pencils?
I’m definitely a 4. The shape is there, but even that’s work for my brain. I know what a thing looks like, but I can’t see it. Also, I think a lot less people are #1 than they think. A #1 is someone who can make photorealistic art from the picture in their brain. I’m guessing that’s like 1% of the people if not less.
how about NA beer? Everything you want and nothing you don’t.
Humans are the cause of almost every problem on the planet and wont and don’t deserve to survive the great filter. The universe is better off without us.
If you’re trying to fix things, tell your spouse that you appreciate the sentiment (assuming you even do) and talk it out. My guess is that you instead got disputatious and made it clear that you actually didn’t appreciate the effort, that what you have already is More Than Good Enough, Thank You, which put your spouse on their heels and hurt their feelings.
Of course this is just a guess on my part, but that’s the vibe I got. As another said, you definitely sound like you’re on the spectrum and need to keep that in mind when dealing with other people. You may not see the world in the same way as they do.
Probably the same way you do it with duck or pigskin. You blanch it in hot water and brush off the remaining fur.
Considering that they don’t notice until the trashcans land, that’s not a valid question. And obviously they’re not all looking in your direction when you yeet the trashcan, so again, invalid question.
They generally just catch my eye, then I may think about their placement. I’ve just been working in the field so long it’s like an unconscious professional interest I guess.
Complete fear mongering. If you listen to any sound too loud from any source you can get hearing damage, but there’s no reason you need to listen to music too loud with headphones. To the contrary since headphones help block outside sounds (especially with modern noise cancelling headphones,) you can actually turn the music down and hear it just fine.
I wanted that game to have good stealth mechanics, but it honestly didn’t. Start up the game, stealth into some shadows. Find a trash can, throw it 50’+ away from you and watch as every enemy within earshot runs directly at you.
I’ve been the electronic security game for about 25 years and I swear I instinctively notice and look directly at every video camera in every building I enter, and I swear if anybody noticed they’d think I’m casing the joint.
OK that’s just bullshit. Bands have been trashing hotel rooms since the 70’s. The Who were the most famous for this.
