I'm not sure that's generalizable, but for Musk specifically it sure seems likely that reducing his net worth would be a social positive

I think there's something to the idea that Musk operates his businesses in a way that maxes the value of the stock rather than achieving actual productivity

I have some cheap ass-store brand-basic hamburger buns that I bought months ago and they are still going strong while sitting on my counter. These are proper hamburger buns.

I'm all for promoting chaos. but most of the time when I see it used against that group it's made pretty clear that they oppose fundamental rights

Water heater in place and filling with water. He's working on hooking up the venting now, so should start heating in the next ~45 minutes

I think using 'free speech absolutist' like this against the Taibbi class is perfectly reasonable

the guy complained that the 30 minutes he had put in over a 3 year period to determine who he had followed and who he blocked was just too much work

Imagine thinking that "don't hang out with nazis and pedophiles" is 'morally impossible'

his objection is that people have morals

"it's a lot of work" says guy who has blocked, on average, less than 5 people per month. you literally think that 8 minutes of work a year is too much. you're lazy and entitled

18.02.2026 19:59 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

that sums it up. you want a place to yell at people, and if it's a nazi bar you are happy to buy a beer for a pedophile. but doing work is too much for you, because fuck these little people

it's actually fine to point out that you don't take much issue with nazis on the pedophile site but think it's too much to engage with real people

Bluesky is really upsetting for people who look down on the peasants

oh, no, the bigot who gets paid by UAE blocked me. I'm really concerned that a guy who advocates for fundamentalists hates me, a mainline protestant

the former yes, the latter less so (I think I've seen some data that suggested that the latter led to increases!?)

also not due to local regs that were being implemented before he got elected for the second time. as scripture says, every good and perfect thing comes from Trump

you're basically agreeing with the trump admin re:ICE going into homes, that getting a judicial warrant is entirely too difficult

are you aware of the process of getting a warrant? literally aware in any way whatsoever?

Company 2 guy comes in

sure, but that's also what a lot of people said about early computer users, right? and then computers became a big part of how we do things, in part because the people who were using them found ways that *were* good
