Make sure you use organic short half life poisons. Don’t poison the surrounding areas with rainwater runoff just because you want to live in a nightmarish hellscape.

Desolate responsibly.

I’m no English major, but I’m pretty sure @[email protected] calling it weird is a rhetorical device known as sarcasm.

Is that pointed at us or a mirror?

That’s called politicking, which they absolutely should be doing.

You’re indirectly getting laws through by twisting arms and making deals instead of just having a majority.

Plenty have been directly pressuring Republican congresspeople by rallying in their district like Sanders did this last week.

Direct legislative action is difficult without control, but in terms of effective messaging and pressuring Republicans by threatening the midterms is probably one of the more effective strategies they have.

Define done? Even if the government gets completely dismantled in the short term, who knows what will happen in 10 years time. It will definitely take longer than that to rebuild our position of authority and influence in the global stage, if we ever achieve that, but it’s definitely doable in our lifetimes.

Be very careful wheb defederating

If they mean AI upscaling, where you take a low resolution image then generate a higher resolution one then sure.

But it will be a while before they have full AI rendering, if ever. AI generation isn’t super precise when it comes to details and for games precision usually matters a lot unless it’s like a narrative game. You probably can’t use an arbitrary but close color for an enemy for example or have health bars look close enough.

Regardless of your intent, the context in which you make a statement matters. You were wondering why people were down voting you so I’m just letting you know. You don’t have to like it but that’s the way it is.

I get being frustrated at people misunderstanding you, happens to everyone, just don’t stress over the imaginary Internet points.

It’s irrelevant to the overall point and comes across as a defense of Musk by attacking an irrelevant piece of semantics.

For example if people are arguing about pineapple on pizza and you say “pineapple is food so it’s ok on pizza” it’s not addressing the actual arguments being made.

Whatever you want to call it, it’s inherently dishonest to take credit for skills you don’t have and achievements you didn’t earn.

Following the rules doesn’t make you a good person. It’s why you break the rules that does. A lot of people think of Luigi Mangione as good even if they wouldn’t have done what he did. Same goes for many protesters who break laws against things like vandalism to protest human rights abuses. I think most people would agree genocide and forced labor are worse than breaking laws against vandalism.

oh no, now they nkow I’m in the US North East, assuming I’m not using a VPN…

People saw potential in the company and wanted to get in before other people drove up the price.

If later on it looks like Musk can’t deliver on that potential then peotare going to start selling Tesla stock really quickly.

Yeah, basically the kid’s going to be on the heavier side.

I’m Indian and we do something similar, but also put out sweets which gets a good number of kids.

Nah, not enough flannel.

The Russian oligarchs clearly thought it promoted a desire within them for some kind of relations.

He did more labor for that 50k than someone like Musk did for their next 50k
