"I'm really starting to regret my vote"
Don't be fooled. Most of the people who voted this way haven't figured it out yet.

‘Trump is a little guy, Musk is a big guy’: historian predicts trouble for president-elect
This is very concerning for anyone who has paid attention to Musk's movements/behaviors prior to connecting with Trump. I'm not talking about the X rants (those are a distraction), but Musk's interaction with the tech industry—particularly the AI industry. I believe the man wants loads of power through AI, and he'll gain it in very unconventional ways if he influences Trump and the rest of the GOP. This goes beyond an oligarchy. The potential he could have to completely run the world is quite large. This is why so many tech companies are paying massive financial homage to Trump at this time.

Elon Musk accused of censoring conservatives on X who disagree with his immigration stances
This is all public theater to distract from his actual actions with the government—and the tech industry, too.

Some are just fucking stupid. They are so stupid they will accuse you of calling them that when being asked critical thinking questions when they bitch about brown-skinned immigrants "taking over." I get tired of people saying they are going to "stay and fight" when they are too cowardly to call out close family members who do this.

Biden reportedly regrets ending re-election campaign and says he’d have defeated Trump
He likely would not have won. It surprises me how discrepancies in this election haven't been questioned, but at this point it may not matter. As for his choice of Merrick Garland. Yeah, that and not really doing much about unseating DeJoy was a mistake.

Laura Loomer comes for ‘welfare queen’ Elon Musk as MAGA war heats up
Oh, this is theater again. The smarter MAGA creeps are doing this to distract the public and government (the parts that can actually do something) from Musk's influence. They totally want his money and interventions. It's actually encouraging other tech corporations to give them money as Musk is so dangerous in the field (he's trying to wipe out OpenAI and has hopes to gain assloads of power with his own AI).

Life doesnt have to be this way
Many inventions created to "free people" ended up landing them with expectations to work even harder with their newfound "free time"—and they ended up being pigeon-holed into more limited jobs. This is especially true for women as appliances were created to help free them from domestic duties, but they have been landed into still doing those and working full-time or more.

I would be more hopeful to believe it was consensual was except they bragged their wife doesn't know. I've been in enough situations through chats to learn people like this exist and managed to abuse others—even virtually. There can be healthy relationships in BDSM, but the community often attracts predators for a reason.

I have stupidass heightened perception and seem to repeatedly find myself in extraordinary unbelievable (and often traumatic) situations which no one believes at first, because the situations are so absurd, and my silly brain rights itself so I seem "too okay" in spite of it all. Then I have to deal with it on my own until it directly impacts others and they cannot deny the situations exist. Then they act like shocked Pikachus (which is massively infuriating at times). This has been escalating throughout my life—in spite of the fact I do everything possible to keep my stupid little existence low-key and healthy. I'm working on accepting this.

Trump Hints Another January 6 Could Happen If He Loses the Election
If that happens, I don't think the turnout will be anywhere near the same as it was before.

If I had a nickel for every time someone says "this person's being a huge jerk to me but I think they might be neurodivergent"
It's exactly why I do not present any of the mental psychological isms my therapist gave me to other people. I've seen loads of folks who pretty much brag about these things—using them as excuses to be shitty or negligent people with no attempt at learning or practicing social skills. I run like the wind anytime I hear someone brag or lament (usually just a backdoor brag) that they are "empathic" or "highly sensitive." I'm very cautious around people who bring up their "ADHD," "anxiety disorder" or "autism"—especially if they do it regularly, publicly (on social media), or very early upon meeting them. And don't get me started about personality disorders. I know people who are legitimately trying their best with all these things, but the genuinely responsible and aware folks seem to rarely wear those as kind of strange badges of identity.

Eh? I think they're trying to prevent Musk from becoming an AI god.

Most people get them from farmers' markets. There are supposedly health advantages to it, but I'd assume this would be the case from buying from a smaller responsible farm over a corporate factory farm anyhow—regardless of whether it's pasteurized or not.

I postulate there is a lot more to this story than is being told. It was what, 29 employees and later more who were fired? I don't think this is a simple case of people being idiots.
