So is inflation an epidemic too?

Yes… Not the point you’re trying to make I guess.

We should let the SG pass any law he wants!

SG isn’t passing any laws. They are making a statement.

They went bankrupt funding progun policy.

Also, being a treasonous front for Russian political interference didn’t help their cause

Canada says “High”. we don’t have a functional mental health solution and it’s only gotten worse. And while we do have gun crime, it’s nowhere near the same as our southern neighbour because of our gun restrictions and we don’t Fetishize gun culture.

Mental health IS part of the problem. But the insane culture around owning firearms in the US directly leads to the prevalence of gun crime.

Religions don’t tend to spring up from nowhere.

Let me introduce you to our good friend Ronald Hubbard and this pesky Religion called “Scientology”

The amount of data that has come out in the year since it’s launch has jumped mankinds knowledge of the cosmos forward by leaps and bounds.

it’s also further shown us just how little we know.

Can’t have that. Might hurt profits somewhere. A big insurance company here just removed one of the drugs from coverage inexplicably.

Makes you wonder why despite a doctor prescribing it for weight loss, the insurance company can go ahead and just, nope out. and what motivation do they have to keep people fat?

I made it through until Win11 announced (Had to because of work). Once 11 was announced I just said fuck it, and have been Linux since.

I no longer have any computers in my house running windows except a 10 year old Laptop that is available for the really weird and off windows requirements (like ESPHome programming)

Took the train from Toronto to NYC in 01. No thanks. Never again. Will drive if I can.

That gallery both doesn’t know the Streissand affect, AND true art. All they’re now doing is helping spread it.

really REALLY boneheaded.

You know it’s some asshole artist on the wall who complained that his art “devalued” his in some way and demanded retribution.

My point was about how he became that rich, compared to other people with similar parents money, if he is a complete idiot.

You’re lack of understanding about this doesn’t constitute others arguing in a fallacious matter. We are not arguing a strawman but explaining to you HOW Musk got to where he was. Which is in SPITE of his intelligence, not because of it.

You’re arguing your own fallacy based on your own lack of ability to grasp concepts. Congradulations, you’re guilty of Personal Incredulity fallacy:

You would be amazed.

At work we provide popup notifications for a week when a users password is close to expiring

They still miss it and need to call helpdesk

Also completely irrelevant and doesn’t do what he thinks he’s doing

I’ve fully moved to Linux with a 3080ti. Only non functional feature is HDR but that’s mostly a Linux issue

I went with PopOs and have had a pretty smooth experience

No rooted phones for our App. No travel to specific locals and countries either. we hvae black lists of Regions of the world where you simply cannot login to your accounts due to overwhelming security concerns and lack of extrajudicial remediation should there be fraud.

this is such a fun image from the other day of Musk’s blatant hypocrisy and how his cult of personality has allowed his minions to ignore reality.

My point was about how he became that rich, compared to other people with similar parents money, if he is a complete idiot.

But you’re still wrong. Lots of people who inherited money grew their wealth, without the need to have their face in the media constantly.

the reason we see so much of Musk is because he purposely puts himself in the public. There are more billionaires than just Musk who have grown their wealth without you ever knowing their names. Arguably, there are far FAR more of these no-name billionaires than the Musk type.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/25-richest-billionaires-inherited-fortunes-010158127.html

some examples.

As other’s have said, He has used his inheritance to create momentum and a cult of personality around himself, which has helped him make money despite being proven time and time again to be a business idiot.

So Far, He has been removed from Paypal by the board for bad leadership. He was removed from chairman of Tesla for illegal leadership and bad leadership. And all evidence has shown that he has also tanked the value of Twitter.

he has definitely convinced you through his cult of personality that he’s some business genius. Rather than just a loud asshole with lots of money to burn.

He’s been allover the site posting the most inane oppositional comments to verything. Either a bot or paid account.

He says what he feels.

We call people like this with zero filter who constantly attack and insult others “Assholes”

Most people don’t behave like this. And it’s really no excuse for him spewing shit unfiltered. this is a terrible defense.

Telling his advertisers that if they don’t like that he allows antisemitism and hatred on X, to fuck off, in person in an auditorium is not “human”. it’s disgusting and evidences that He himself believes in spreading hatred as long as it makes him rich/powerful

this isn’t how you run a business. (unless you’re perfectly fine with spreading hatred)
