While it is completely possible musk believes things like this. I still mostly think he just wants to pander to his primary audience and doesn’t mind spreading things he knows aren’t true.

Maybe it doesn’t reach your criteria of a “certain level”, but there’s definitely stories of people winning significant amounts of money in the lottery and being broke years later because they are morons.

Unrelated to the main post but your comment brings up a point I think is important for society to understand. “pedophiles are afraid to seek help.” Pedophilia is a mental disorder and doesn’t inherently mean someone is a criminal, or ever will become one. But because it is such a violent and life destroying term to be labeled as a pedo those who have this mental disorder and are struggling to not offend will never seek the mental help they desperately need, this in turn leads to children being harmed.

Everyone is responsible for their actions, and pedophiles who rape or hurt kids are also responsible for their actions, but society as a whole contributes to more children being harmed by the way we represent and treat the mental disorder.

Sweetened tea gets a big L from me, tastes like shit. Unsweetened all the way.

Possibly water, or perhaps tea

Yes you can, in fact many people just say they are autistic.

Such senseless loss of life in the name of religion.

If they’d died in the Saudi heat to a secular activity - at an F1 race event or inside a poorly A/C’d movie theater or trapped on an overheated bus - would that have been better?

Well I think religion is one of the few things you can get enough uneducated/dedicated people to die in the hundreds from heat stroke without people being like"I should probably leave"

All the examples you gave, of course except being trapped on a bus, people would realize there is a serious issue and start leaving once the first handful of people died.

“I’m not leaving the theater till I see the end of Iron man 2, I don’t care that half the theaters dead and I’m next!”

EDIT

the Hajj as a cultural event was originally intended as this class-agnostic unifying practice social event.

lol, weren’t women not allowed to go alone until recently or still?

Hopefully those FOSS projects will gain some sense as discord becomes more shit and will leave. One can hope.

Yes I’m glad chat control was stopped, but it just goes to show there are wannabe authoritarians in everyone’s government.

Well they do some things right but you know they are also pretty dystopian as well, trying to ban encryption so they can have total surveillance over their citizens like china and what not. Just as bad as the usa in that regard!

Sorta gross.

Good thing Linux ships with AMD drivers by default, no install necessary. Nvidia will have to get off their asses and make their drives less of a pile of dog shit though.

Torrents are better than usenet, change my mind. Especially when downloading older content

Pooh lover

It was not shot down, here is a short video with a detailed explanation on why the most likely thing that happened was a bomb onboard.

Lol

Real education for kids on the world and what we know about how the universe works and why, the questions in science we are still working on, and teaching the scientific skills we are using to solve these problems.

So better education.

Does hexbear like china?

“If we are capable of financing billions towards violent solutions … why not instead finance billions towards a peaceful resolution?”

Do you want us to spend billions on an ad campaign asking Russia to please stop invading a country? Uh I don’t know if you are history deaf or not but Russia will not stop, unless it is stopped.

Something we Americans should really stick to is the “we don’t negotiate with terrorists” line. Russia is a terrorist state, and they have proven time and time again they cannot be reasoned with.

This is click bait. There is no Russian blockade, they haven’t even tried to blockade Ukraine and probably won’t try to.

I mean I think it’s just your standard feel good story that just happens to involve the police. In general you are probably safest assuming every cop is a bad cap for the reasons you listed, but sometimes the good humans in that field do something noteworthy.

Albeit the good is giving a kid some money and the bad is gross abuse of our civil rights and murdering civilians.
