She/they. Greek-American. Trying something new.

  • I'm not going to say that the rich are just as unhappy as the rest of us, because they'll never know what it is to truly struggle. But take a look at Elon Musk; does he look happy to you? Dude bought and destroyed Twitter because people there wouldn't stop making fun of him, and he still can't stop them. He's driven his daughter out of his life because he can't accept she's trans, which has only made him go even more full on transphobe and bleed over into every other bigoted thought under the sun. He just fucking gutted Tesla, his big pride and joy, because he couldn't stand his "inferiors" talking back to him and trying to stop him from making terrible mistakes. All his victims are undoubtedly struggling more than he is, thanks largely to his capriciousness and evil, but he certainly doesn't look happy to me.

    And the funny thing is, he could be absolutely happy if he could let shit go. If I had his money, I wouldn't even bother with all this petty shit; I'd hire people to manage the money, put as much of it into charity work as I could, find some tropical island somewhere, and spend the rest of my life sipping on margaritas and watching sunsets. But he can't help himself. He's incapable of letting go, which stops him from ever being happy.

  • Ask nicely.

  • Gotta tell you, coming to the Midwest and being exposed to the gas stations here like Quiktrip and Casey's was a revelation. All we had on the west coast was AM/PM, and those guys are hot garbage.

  • Yeah, except in this case it's the megacorp sticking the stick in the spokes and the workers at the studio getting thrown off.

  • I think most people are fine with it as long as you're genuinely trying to make the effort to be better.

    It's when your age becomes an excuse to not bother that it becomes a problem.

  • No, you're not against bigots and fascist assholes. You're just trying to coopt that language and try to draw a parallel between community moderators moderating their community and bigoted, fascist assholes literally oppressing people. I wasn't born yesterday.

  • So all of the groups in the comic have actual legislators passing laws against their ability to express themselves and control their own bodies and relationships, and you're mad some moderator of some online community somewhere told you to go be an asshole somewhere else.

    Touch grass.

  • It's the latter that really seals it, IMHO. The Cybertruck is the most purely Elon vehicle to come out of Tesla, and the first since Elon went full mask-off. Buying it, at great personal expense, and driving it around is basically saying you approve of everything he's doing.

  • OK, but what the hell was it actually?

  • They spent six figures on a truck that looks like ass, drives like ass, can't actually do truck things, falls apart in the rain and is the brainchild of the world's biggest douchebag.

  • Yeah, Mythbusters is fun and interesting, but don't mistake it for a scientific study. IIRC, Adam Savage himself has said they couldn't really apply the level of scientific rigor it would take to actually prove things due to the format of the show.

    Still, it is food for thought.

  • Are we talking just contemporary people? Because John Brown, as a historical figure, is a great inspiration for me.

  • Yeah, most people in history say amazing things and then turn out to be fucking monsters. Especially in American history.

    But just because they're awful fucking hypocrites doesn't mean what they said has no value.
