In 1995, Musk and his brother, Kimbal, started Zip2, a web software company, with US$28,000 of their father’s (Errol Musk) money
Tesla Motors was incorporated in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, who financed the company until the Series A round of funding. Both men played active roles in the company’s early development prior to Elon Musk’s involvement.
Responding to a screenshot of a CNN headline that read, “2% of Elon Musk’s wealth could help solve world hunger, says director of UN food scarcity organization,” Musk tweeted that if the U.N. World Food Program “can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it.”
WFP director David Beasley called his bluff, and actually outlined how the organization would use the $6.6 billion. Musk, who is worth approximately $239.2 billion, never responded to Beasley.
I feel like that’s how Twitter is, at least that’s what I remember from years ago when I tried it, didn’t recognize anyone there and just walked away. I don’t mind seeing strangers sometimes when I’m bored with my normal feed and want to see something new, but it seemed to be the default behavior for me and I didn’t care to learn how to fix it.
The third party app I used for reddit said that this is the platform they were going to focus on. That’s why I came. Those are the people I want to support. The people that make the experience better. Once they release an app I’ll buy it first day
It’s not a perfect solution either. There have been plenty of instances where cops “forget to turn on” or “accidently block” their cams. Even cases where, mysteriously, the cams are “accidentally” damaged or the data “corrupted”.
Unfortunately seems like the only defense for these cases is livestreaming police interactions.
Cop unions should be illegal. (All other unions are fine)
Absolutely, and you can generalize that to any sort of requirements are worthless if they don't have as much teeth as the power they are trying to check.
Afraid to say, I don’t get this. What app is it supposed to be? I don’t remember what song I saved last. Am I supposed to admit that, or just name a song? Which person in the cartoon is supposed to be the annoying one? There both seem annoying to me. Yes the white on yellow is very hard to read. BTW I have no idea who Elliot Smith is.
The last music I downloaded was the entire album Raksha, by Bloodywood. The final song in the album would be Chakh Le, which is a really fun Indian metal song about rising up against the owning class
Ayy I got into Bloodywood a little while back, they’re pretty sick. Haven’t gone through a lot of their catalog but cool to see them mentioned, seems like their fanbase has been growing a ton over the past year
I got into them recently and loved their music. Then I started listening to the lyrics, and went “woah, based”. So I went on Wikipedia to learn more. Wikipedia says Bloodywood as a band aren’t political, and I was disappointed, but hey, nobody’s perfect. Then I watched the music video for Gaddaar which starts with “we’re not political, honest” and ends with “in the face of fascism, it is impossible to remain politically neutral”
This looks to me like a dating app called bumble where, for man/woman matches, the woman is supposed to initiate the conversation.
You can check which song you last saved on Spotify (for example) by just looking at the top song on your liked songs, but the question is just to get to know each other; even a “i don’t remember what song I saved last but I’ve been really interested in [so and so artist] lately” would be a totally sufficient answer.
Because of the extreme evasiveness, elitism and condescending tone of yellow, yellow is supposed to be the annoying one. In my opinion, white just seems to be trying to continue the conversation and encourage yellow to open up about their music tastes to get to know them.
You sound like yellow in this conversation, not understanding that dating is about getting to know someone from the outside in. You gotta start somewhere, like a favorite song. You can’t jump straight to childhood trauma or politics or something or it will never work. Trust takes time.
First, they’re gobsmacked that they wouldn’t answer it. Then it becomes obvious it’s a red flag. Finally they know they’ll never meet this person in real life, so why not fuck with them.
Ic, makes sense. Tell me something else, do those “normies” (I haven’t met very many) actually have substantial text conversations on those annoying on screen phone keyboards? I can stand one or two texts that way, but then want to move to a real computer.
I never liked two panel. Back when Gnome 2 was around I would always combine them into one bar at the bottom. Seems like wasted vertical space to have two when one can do the same stuff.
I’m not usually big on boycotts since corporations are entrenched enough that they need gov’t intervention to do anything meaningful but the totality of the circumstances and the likelihood of a better local coffee shop in your area would tell me to skip the awful Starbucks setup.
The saying used to be Facebook is full of friends who should be strangers and twitter is full of strangers that should be friends but they not fucking suck now
