Okay, so not that I think cops deserve fairness, but in fairness…

If she had an extremely strong devotion to her community and a sense of duty to those people, I could see how that would add a layer of grief and guilt on top of her son being an attempted mass murderer.

But given that her son had access to at least one of her weapons, I’m not certain that she’s any different from the rest of the pro-gun-toting rules-don’t-apply-to-us that most of the “blue lives” are.

I’m out of thoughts and prayers. How about some jokes or a riddle?.. George Carling was the greatest!

Not as good as Richard Prior!

Depends on how you define “predicted”.

If you meant “made the most logical guess using all available data” then no, he didn’t do that.

But if you meant “pulled an impossible sales number out of a ketamine-laced shit from his lumpy asshole that wildly overestimated how popular he and his ‘truck’ are” then I’d say you’re correct!

It would absolutely not surprise me if Teslas calculate miles driven via GPS instead of tire rotation or some other mechanical means.

It’s the kind of “reinventing the wheel, only worse and more expensive” that Musk would do.

Given his track record with real rockets and real rocket scientists, I would consider it a win for him to make it off the launchpad and back in one piece. 😂

No, he cares for Twitter.

SpaceX lets him pretend he’s some great tech genius, but Twitter is what gives him the validation he craves. All the pro-Elon bots and stans there who fellate him feed his narcissistic desire to be loved.

That’s why he “sold” Twitter to xAI. So if Tesla does tank hard enough and he gets margin called, he can’t be forced to sell Twitter to cover it.

Tesla could literally never sell another car again, and it wouldn’t matter as long as people continue to buy the stock.

It’s been wildly over priced for a very long time, so clearly the people who are keeping it afloat aren’t interested in whether the company is actually profitable or not.

What *an hero.

This, exactly.

The whole point of CVE is to make sure everyone is on the same page regarding exploits. That necessitates a single point of truth for the whole operation.

Well this is just flat out wrong.

The fact that people started appending “Reddit” to their search terms to find answers to what they wanted to know would probably be a gigantic indicator that Google’s results without it were less than helpful.

A useful search engine returns the most relevant result the user wants as fast as possible. An advertising company wants its users to look at as many ads as they can for as long as they’ll tolerate them. Thus it’s apparent the goals of Google (the search engine) are diametrically opposed to the goals of Alphabet (the advertising company).

So yes, it’s in the best interest of Google’s bottom line to figure out how many ads they can show you (read: before you stop using Google altogether) until they show what might be relevant to you.

They said “useful,” they didn’t say “relevant.”

In this case, “useful” means “the most results we can get paid to show you without you going to a different website.”

Yeah, but what was I supposed to do? Vote for a brown woman? Are you insane!?

The thing.

The thing we’re all thinking of but can’t say because truly free speech doesn’t exist.

When they fight back, those fights can get very messy and very expensive.

Good thing those law firms that bent the knee pledged to spend a collective billion dollars defending Trump.

As a wise man recently said,

They tried to rig the game, but you can’t fake influence.

Money can buy everything but it can’t buy respect. Nobody respects Musk getting to level 90+ in SSF HC PoE2 because he just bought his way there. Nobody respects him on Twitter, because he bought his way there. Nobody respects Tesla, because (say it with me kids) he bought his way there.

Needed more accordion hands. And it should have been one sentence with about ten different tangents.

Also orange.

The queer community will be marketed to if you do right by us. Break that trust and it can be earned back.

Which is how it should go, because it give corporations incentives to do socially moral things.

Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, Margaret Atwood, and others like them weren’t super fortune tellers or anything. They just studied humankind enough to know what could happen. And we Americans by-and-extra-large are too arrogant to learn those lessons.

Thing is, the economic indicators will still be there.

If there’s been two full years of recession because of GOP policies, what do you think the odds are they’ll go into a third year if the GOP is allowed to stay in power?

But we sure as hell didn’t seem to learn anything from Brexit about isolationism

“Oh that could never happen here!”

This is the FO part of the American Exceptionalism FA.
