Yea yea, insane sterilization comment. But y'all he wants to literally break up the United States.

1. Dissolution of the Union

Over the 14th amendment. You know, the one we passed as a direct outcome of a failed Civil War insurrection.

In the US south they use a racial slur, because of course

Star Wars is not exactly subtle or full of nuance. It's pulp, and it wears that badge with unironic, cinematic pride.

​It is the spiritual successor to the 1930s Saturday morning serials of bold archetypes, primary-colored morality, and breakneck pacing where the stakes are always "the fate of the galaxy" and the villains wear literal black masks. It doesn't ask you to deconstruct the socioeconomic subtext of a spice mine.

I flew home to see the family this weekend, down in the deep south. My brother picked me up from the airport and took me to a local pub for a burger and beer. I went for my second glass and two regulars at the bar were chatting with the bartender.

"Just don't make it political. Keep politics out of it", said one of the men to the bartender. "Fuck Robert Kraft", I loudly replied. The bartender cocked a half smile before mentioning that they were just discussing how Kanye was able to tour again. "Some things in this world are forgivable like, apparently, 'heil Hitler'", I opined for the whole bar to hear.

Aghast, the avowedly apolitical regulars could only stare back at me. They seemed reluctant to defend a billionaire known for his bad behavior, and also recently for his collusion with his other rich pals to cancel a music act from playing at two stadiums overlapping Kanye's recent tours.

"But, save the children? Well, that really depends on exactly which children". I took my 6% ABV lager back to my table to resume half-hearted interest in my brother's WoW guild and hype over the re-re-release of vanilla, or whatever.

Cost to end consumer is not a fake number.

Not depicted, cool guy smoking cigarettes with thought bubble: "I did nothing to change this but post memes to Lemmy"

According to the Lancet reckless indiscriminate cuts to USAID is directly responsible for 14 million deaths.

Grok has no agency. Elon played a heavy role in the design of the tool, promotes and profits off its use, and has failed to stop users from producing this material with what can only be considered as a feature of his software

SpaceX is an infrastructure company. Deeply dependent on government good will and contracts. It leases it's data center compute to actual AI companies.

3.5 hours!!!! Love ya Steve, but I ain't got time for all that

We had a costume contest at work and the room voted for the guy who wrote "404 costume not found" with sharpie on a white T-shirt. People went full out cosplay, but the gen pop rewarded the slacker. Lost some faith that day

Politicians aren't your friends. Voting is your choice to choose your adversary.

By knowingly spreading the falsehood, Musk is picking up the torch of the 3rd Reich and carrying forward their propagandistic lies

Well, then. I guess I'm just SOL

Just to be clear, all those keg barrels are empty

Paying present dollars for the promise of a future service. It's not even a good anymore, as they're free to change or revoke it. Wild stuff

Prisoners dilemma. Turn the other cheek all but guarantees oppression. Cooperation, and tit-for-tat (swift rebuke + forgiveness) wins

If this happens to a celebrity posting about a 20 year old Nintendo game system, I can only imagine what it's like for your average female logging into modern competitive shooter.

Gamergate never went away. It was the precursor to the youthful fadcisti, in many ways. We need women in these spaces to help diffuse the malignant culture. They'll remain targets of harassment tho, so it's up to everyone to police misogyny, and racism for that matter, too.

Well, my AI model broke into 5 companies. That 2 more

Vaultwarden, no question. When I used KeePass, I had Synology Drive which worked well to sync.
