You can also rent on YouTube, and even buy there, so you can always access your cherished movies in reliable and enduring Google Services.

Are we talking about the same thing, here? The post says cybertruck. I reference the cybertruck. You bring up an old loaner, again. Is your old loaner an eighty-thousand dollar shitbox or not?

No reasonable person is chasing after poor sods with old loaners to vandalize.

I got harassed today for my loaner

I'm sorry you got harassed, but I must ask: did your car get vandalized?

Henry Ford has been dead for over half a century.
Elon is showing up at Alternative für Deutschland events and doing nazi salutes.

Would you like to explain to the dealership that gave me a shitty old loaner Tesla why you decided to vandalize

Surely you realize that analogy is flawed? That's not an old loaner—even if it is shitty—it's an eighty-thousand dollar and higher, highly controversial, highly marketed, nearly experimental vehicle. No reasonable person is chasing after poor sods with old loaners to vandalize.

Don’t vandalize other people’s shit. You don’t know what their situation is. Golden rule, motherfucker.

Since we're being nice about it, how about don't support nazis. Golden rule, dipshit.

...I don't think you're a dipshit, but I do think "vandalism or not" is irrelevant, here. Property isn't sacred, and even if it were, vandalizing nazi symbols would be far from the worst sin to commit.

Joking for real, or seriously for real? The vast majority of people that used twitter are still using twitter. This applies to users in the united states, of course, but it especially applies to those in the entire rest of the world, where elon's shit largely hasn't crossed the culture/language barrier, or doesn't matter to people.

Realistically, the dignity with which one is treated is not intrinsic, it's largely a product of our environment. The same individual, worthy as any other, will be treated very differently around the world. Your dignity isn't merely a transaction, it's a lottery.

These messages always ring so hollow. "This internet stranger thinks you're worth it!" Sure mate, but you don't know them, and likely never will. It's the perverse opposite of toxic doomerism: positivity wanking for show. You're soo worth it, now get back to work, bills won't pay themselves.

Sorry, not aimed at you, jmcs. Good on you for explaining. I'm straight up not having a good time, just block me.

Yes, good point, famous or deeply entrenched in society.

We will remember where capitalists stood during the rise of fascism

I can't fathom where you folks find such optimism. Friends and family, neighbors and coworkers, many of the people you talk to every day, and even more of those that you don't, will continue to depend on and sustain these companies, now and beyond. There'll be no consequences for those calling the shots, regardless of whether the tides change or not.

This isn't new, and I don't see why it'd change now. They don't care about forgiveness, nor do they need to—how soon will convenience cover all past crimes against humanity. History shows us that companies can partake in genocide and, so long as they play the game, they'll just get a slap on the wrist, then get right back to business. And we'll pay them to do it.

We don't even stand united! Whenever you look like a paranoid lunatic to get someone to de-google, whenever you boycott scum, whenever you pay extra to buy from upstanding companies, remember: first, there are all those people who don't care, and second, there are all those people proud to do the opposite to make sure you get fucked because they hate you. The odds are clear, the system is rigged.

I feel like it doesn't matter whether we'll remember where they stood, we'll be forgotten soon enough.

Do the right thing, for no reason other than because it's right. Just don't expect that to mean anything, is what I've learned.

Yeah, it's an English-speaking majority platform, so English chart it is. Can't remember non-English pronouns being relevant in any recent discussion. This one solves the (most) relevant problem (for most users).

That said, we have a similar problem with language limitations here and all "solutions" sound ridiculous.

Teslas in general I'm on the fence about, though people should be discouraged from purchasing new ones.

The Wankpanzer? Piss on it for all I care. Damn thing is a hazard to every pedestrian, every car, to the fucking driver themselves. That shitbox's a mistake, and it isn't even a cheap one. Draw on dust ("vandalize" lol), glue stickers, spray paint, what's the harm? Gonna make a musk fan sad? He's trying to ruin a nation. Anyone that's still his fan needs to wake the fuck up.

[–] mke 5 points 2 weeks ago

Better, I'd imagine.

"Oh, here comes a hakencruiser..."

"A hack and what?"

Versus "look at that fucking wankpanzer. Fucking wanker." Can't go much simpler than that.

Not sure what you were expecting, here. I support universal healthcare, and mental health is part of everyone's health. Still paying if I want any, though, and that's not changing anytime soon. Sucks to suck, severely sucks for suckers scoring less than me on the income lottery.

 

A short user story. Nothing new, but probably relatable to some.
