All the racists will see this as the win they wanted. Any downside will be due to disconnected issues and none of them will learn or care to understand.

Tesla is expected to sell like crazy because they are one of the only EV carmakers to not be hit full force by tariffs. However, given the public reception of Musk, the car brand may see a long term decline as fewer vehicles are purchased in the US and EU for different reasons. Chinese EVs will sink EU and APAC sales and people don’t want to give Elon any of their money if they can help it.

Tesla also doesn’t create any new vehicle models or redesign of their initial line up that was created 12 years ago. He’s coasting on the demand and has no plans for doing anything different. I would expect Tesla to hit hard times after a decade or so.

TL;DR - a small bump in sales followed by a steady fall off before Trump Part Deux is done.

Imagine that the hug changed the family, made them loving and supportive, and Hitler was just a recidivist incel who was destined to be hateful. Sometimes things can’t be changed, some people don’t want to be fixed, and some shitheads need to be rejected for who they are.

Lion King is way up there. It’s hard, but the gameplay and music were great.

You should see it. It has one of the best fight scenes ever and it’s when one guy tells the other to try on the glasses.

When he pronounced it “Hur Cools”

We kept whipping and whipping but the work never seemed to get done. The only excuse they have is that half the team died from exhaustion or suicide, and they aren’t getting severance!

Anyone can be a criminal if we make laws they can’t help but violate? That’s real justice!

One of Robert Downey Jr’s best roles. He was so detached and horrible in the role while being an absolute goofball (that silencer and the bike). He reminded me of a few tweakers I used to know.

Hell Comes to Frogtown is a fantastic movie if you can get over the premise of the movie “the government hires a rapist to help jumpstart the population boom after humanity becomes endangered.”

Buddhism teaches that wanting causes suffering. Happiness can be achieved when we stop wanting and start existing as we are.

The comic punchline is that by getting rid of “want” then all we are left with is happiness.

No one who can do anything cares and anyone who cares can do nothing. Trump will ruin all the progress no matter the cost. He and his tools are out to fuck up all the nice things that other people got because they want to. The cost doesn’t matter since the people who worry about that sort of thing hired Trump in the first place. Trump has exclusive control of the entire government so there will be horrendous problems for the first 2 years. We will see if people turn out to slow the inhumanity machine or like what it is doing.

Microsoft sees Sony with many in-house developers who create AAA hype and profit, like Naughty Dog or Guerilla Games, and they want the same. But instead of growing their own teams, like Sony did, they are buying any reasonably sized developer with the hope that the purchase doesn’t affect the final product. Microsoft has been very hands off with the studios that it buys, except Bethesda because Todd needs a babysitter, which reflects this approach of owning but not controlling the studio.

Microsoft doesn’t seem to think that firing the people who make the games we love, like Tango Softworks and Arkane, will cause any harm to their brand because they are the monolith Microsoft.

Don’t walk around the block, using public sidewalks that would evade trespassing. That would look like prey being circled and the resident of Berwyn IL doesn’t want to be nervous. Crowds saying one name circling the block would be too much for them!

Vivek does all the work and Elon will take all the credit.

They had a flag! Why call them anything other than Nazis protesting outside Anne Frank theater performance? Corpo-fascist apologists.

How unkind to not rewind.

Like the cream of the crop, the loftiest turds float to the top.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this, like others, and found one kernel of hope to hang onto: the only way to know a democracy is safe from internal threats is to test that democracy. This is that test. This is the tyranny of the minority that the founding fathers were worried about. This is the stress test for democracy and I pray wiser men have stymied the most malicious people in American history.

If we get through this, and are faced with another Reconstruction period, we must be diligent and exterminate bigotry and corporate undermining of government bodies.

Real justice is only applied to non-right wing extremists. We live in a time where actions are allowed if it moves the politics of the people - in this case being a left wing activist who is peaceful will get you out in a watch list and have covert government agents infiltrated to monitor the next march while being a right wing extremists who tries to actually murder government agents will receive a visit by the sheriff for recruitment. The left is being actively subdued while right wing actions are encouraged or given leniency.

The most dangerous thing to a right winger is having actual justice applied to them.
