Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

musk is dumb as a brick
Hey, now; at least bricks are useful.
I’d prefer “dumb as a husky.” Which is to say, smart enough to get into relatively creative predicaments but too dumb to get out. The dunning kruger zone.
A colleague of mine is one of the stupidest people I've ever met, but also among the most arrogant, so I say he's like a pigeon.
This is intentional. He attacks anything that provides a benefit he thinks should be Capitalized upon.
is... ...is that a pun?
Maybe they meant anything that can be subsidized by the government.
Tesla and SpaceX take in tons of government subsidies, either directly like SoaceX, or with car enables to artificially make their cars more competitive in the market.
No no, the pun is supposed to be the first letter of the word capitalised being capitalised.
