It’s mostly because their navigation systems are trash. Try to drive from Shenzhen to Peking and you get stuck hovering over U.S. military installations for a couple days.
Last time anybody gave a damn about Oklahoma, it was because the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building got an unexpected facelift. This attempt to sidestep the first amendment by shouting “I’m not establishing you!” is not an improvement. Nice to see pushback from educators fighting to provide education even though it’s bullshit that they have to.
People gave a bit of a damn when Oklahoma senator Jim Inhofe (rest in piss) brought a snowball into the senate to show that global warming wasn’t real. But definitely not much of a damn.
I know we don’t do I objective viewpoints point on here, but there is a difference between thinking that it is okay to do blackface in the context of a movie or a play and accusing Harris of pretending to be black.
I don’t agree with either of those points, but it’s silly to pretend they are the same.
My comment wasn’t about how it is ok or not, just at the fact that it’s the republicans trying to cancel someone when all they do constantly is talk about cancel culture
Yes, but it’s not always the huge event that it used to be. Being a teen in the 90s, I kept it pretty close until college. While I understand there are definitely still issues, I am so happy that kids have it significantly easier nowadays.
Sometimes I think about his downfall, like at some point it seemed everyone liked him or had a somewhat positive view of him. Now he bans the word “cis” but allows doxxing people and the regular use of the hard-r (I’ve seen it used as a direct insult to a black person) on his platform
Signs were there, we just ignored them. Like for fucks sake, we got this impression from Joe Rogan podcast? Because that’s one of few public things he’s done back then.
Loads of people on the left liked him. Even I liked him. It’s almost funny really. Way back when, his goals were commendable. The proliferation of electric cars was an Eco-friendly dream. Tesla battery projects were poised to expand renewable energy source utilization. Basically everything SpaceX was doing with reusable rockets was just really cool to the nerd demographic. All he had to do was shut the fuck up, let the work speak for itself, and people would still like him. Not without black marks on his record, of course, but on balance, people would probably like him.
But no. Elmo couldn’t shut the fuck up, a problem he continues to have at every turn, and people learned who he really is. His electric vehicle baby stopped being the scrappy upstart with teething problems, and started being a manufacturing disaster that had loose production tolerances matched only by the loose tolerances on what qualified as acceptable working conditions. SpaceX decided that cluttering orbit with thousands of disposable satellites was cool, and the environment and astronomy could fuck off. The only stories about Tesla Batteries that followed were about how quickly they lost their capacity and how expensive they were to replace. And Elmo himself bought a globally known communications company, immediately obliterated it’s value, and turned it into a cesspit of literal Nazis and lies. And this is the abridged list.
All Elon Musk had to do was shut the fuck up and people would have liked him. Just goes to show that “Just be yourself” is really shitty advice for some people.
I don’t think he’s hit rock bottom yet, actually. That will happen whenever Tesla’s stock value goes to something reasonable. And/or when Saudi princes demand Musk deliver on something he can’t. He’s been playing some dangerous games from the sounds of things.
And funnily enough, if Trump were to be elected, then suddenly Trump would forget about how much Elon helped him. Trump has a terrible record for keeping contracts, so I don’t think he’s good with returning favors.
