Im saying i think he truly believes he wasnt being serious. I think he was being edgy and sarcastically accusing democratic elite of an assassination attempt.

You might think he's being edgy. Hell, he might think(if he ever thinks) he's being edgy, but out of the numerous people who blindly follow him, how many do you think need to take him seriously and take him up on the suggestion.

There are jokes you can make to a private group of friends that you can't make to over a million people unless you really mean it. It doesn't help that twitter has a short character limit on messages. You simply cannot have a nuanced opinion on that site and need to consider that when making posts there.

Jokes have setups and payoffs. Humor is the subversion of the expectation and Musk's tweet has nothing resembling that.

No, it's all shit.

What's the male equivalent of Femoids? Is it just Moids?

So long as that future fits within their christo-fascist-capitalism vision.

Fyi, accounts that only make political comments, especially ones that have suspicious comment history come across as astroturf or hacked accounts.

How do you have a four year old account with only two comments?

Anyway, still better than Trump.

The primaries are over. The risk of Trump is too high and people spreading 3rd Party ideas right now many be trying to demotivate progressives from voting for Harris. I mean, I'm not a big fan of Harris, but I'll still be voting for her over Trump.

Where did you live? I always wore a mask around other people, but I also live in a rural area, so I didn't need to wear a mask for that many hours comparatively.

No idea, but I thought this would be a good time to share that teen suicide attempt rates spiked almost 30% in the month following Netflix's 13 Reasons Why. It's a pretty bad show, so of course it got 4 seasons.

It's old tech actually. They use it in pacemakers because it's too difficult to replace or recharge the batteries. I guess you could do wireless charging now, but would you feel much safer with a lithium battery inside of you without a good cooling system? The body's internal temperature is surprisingly warm when you start doing the engineering.

Exposure to one virus rarely leads to a resistance to another one. That's why they have a new flu vaccine every year even though they're all closely related. Cow pox immunizating against small pox was a fluke

It's more about being exposed to everyday bacteria, pollen, and hot/cold cycling that gives your immune system exercise.

 

Community college ostensibly for people who don't have a good track record from High School, but is often advertised as the cheap, local option for people who don't want to feel bad about having to go.

I did in fact try community college and it's really just high school material with smaller text. I even took it in parallel with an edX equivalent and the material wasn't even close to each other. The idea that CC is suppose to replace the first 2 years at a real college is terrifying and reinforces how much of the professional word is theater.

If you do any number of years at a community college, you should be able to apply as a freshman to a real college if you want.

This might be considered drama, but I thought some people might be interested in an update.

March Wayback Machine listing.

Current List.

For those out of the loop, back in May, FalseEyed broke a story about MSM. Right after that, several vtubers shared their own stories about dealing with the CEO and his bad behavior.

Just afterward, Aethel made two statements. The first one saying that he's talking to HIS laywers. The second announcing his departure.

Since then, the company has been shedding talents. I assume more are just waiting for their contracts to run out and want to leave quietly.

According to Krimbo, the MSM CEO is largely responsible for Takahata101's burnout last year. It will be interesting to see who shows back up in the bar now that Taka is back.

Edit: Another four dropped since I posted this. GhostySaige, Nagzz, RPR and Vexoria.

Most of the open drama is happening on Twitter, which I don't use, so I can only relay second hand info. MSM's Director of Talent also bailed yesterday with the support of exMSM talents.

Edit 2: and the talent page is empty. Some back and forth going on on twitter.

Edit 3: Falseeyed's coverage of the msm fallout.

As of this posting, she's still in the prep/warmup room. She previously went viral for her "The Troubles" lecture on Saint Patrick's Day.

new: https://virtualyoutuber.fandom.com/wiki/MinikoMew

Weird that she would abandon a 100k+ identity for a rebrand when her old IP already had a serious redesign. It was bothering me where she went when she disappeared out of the blue. One of her notable collabs was being the first to collab with Neuro-sama.

 

Old clip, but given that something's happening on the official Kizuna channel right now, I thought a refresher is in order.

Former Tsunderia talent, turned PC manager, turned PC talent, Dizzy also did a stream titled: Why You Should NOT Join Phase Connect where she explained what it means to go from being an indie to a corpo talent. What is expected of you, what groups success means, deadline expectations. I think one of the reasons for PC's success has been setting realistic expectations with their talents. I think part of the reason for this steam is to dissuade the people who previous would have misunderstood what PC can and cannot do you for.

 

Either I never belonged in the remedial classes, the GED is a participation trophy, or both are true.

Bonus, I tested out of community college geometry, but struggle with online high school geometry. I mostly wanted the college class to have classroom support for the online high school classes. They refused to let me take the class because I tested out of it.
