Yeah, yeah you are.
Like I said if he is a genius by intellectual standards he's not using it to the benefit of anyone but himself And thanks for the read lol
Oh yeah obviously.
I will. When misogyny goes away.
I will. When women can control their own bodies lmfao.
I can keep going but. Shut the hell up man.
I mean unless he's falsifying his own IQ scores he is "technically" a genius - but being intelligent doesn't necessarily mean you're a good person.
Or that you're "right".
You're right, I was playing devil's advocate to highlight that Elon is actually very detrimental to this country. Many people don't take him seriously.
No it won't magically fix everything but at least the voters would have no one to blame but themselves for who they elect to office.
You're assuming that the entire 1% were swing voters. So no. It's not a huge margin.
Ok average nearly half the country votes, every year. Yeah - that number should be way up - but 75% of those votes wouldn't matter. That's the point/problem.
Adding in an edit: downvote it all you want, you know it's true. Hell, in his last election he DID lose the popular vote. Some democracy. More voters, actual people who took the time and effort to go and actually vote, wanted a different president, and got shown their votes don't matter unless they live in a swing state.

Anyways, this is not why Harris lost. It was a landslide and Trump won the popular vote by a huge margin. Americans don't vote in large numbers on foreign policy - not unless Americans are getting killed. Kamala lost because she kept telling struggling families that the economy is great has a vagina.
Fixed that for you.
Also she didn't lose the pop vote by a huge margin. 3 million people is literally 1 percent of the population.
If this were a democracy and pop vote mattered, there are probably 10x that number of people who would have actually voted. Then I'd guess she would have won. Look at (greater area) Chicago. 9.5m people. 12 million people total in IL. how many Illinoisans didn't vote because why does it matter? About 2 million probably.
Disclaimer: That last paragraph was obviously arbitrary.
"Which is exactly what I have written edited my original statement to." Fixed that for you.
Elon's far from mindless. He's just a self-serving prick who would burn a country down to increase his stan- oh wait.
Yeah. Fuck.
He's potentially the most dangerous person at that table. He doesn't want power in the limelight - though he uses the limelight when he needs to, yes - he wants power behind the scenes. And he's very good at getting what he wants. That much should be unambiguously clear.
And if gaining that power means helping a fascist fucking prick fuck gain dictatorial powers, well I don't think he'd think twice.
You really didn't have to throw in the "seem to be intelligent" part but that very conscientious of you.
I'll go ahead and fix it for you though and be the asshole.
In case you're wondering why you're getting down voted, it's because you didn't even offer up a valid argument and instead engaged in ad hominem, which is a logical fallacy.
I get that correlation does not necessarily mean causation, but if the richest states are almost all blue and the poorest ones almost all red, that is a very strong correlation and trying to claim it is insignificant only makes you seem the fool.
You seem to be intelligent. Ask yourself why this post made you so upset.
Yeah that guy's a hero. The OG hero.
How many people can say they killed Hitler?
I get what you're saying and I'm not saying you're wrong.
I did however giggle at your "illusion of democracy".
I would normally agree. Four years ago I would have laughed if someone had said it.
Now, I just don't know. So much has happened that I thought for sure couldn't possibly happen. Not much would surprise anymore.
Self awareness is doubt. If you're doubting you haven't stopped improving. You're doing well, based on what you've said - keep it up :)
True for most sadly. But not for all.
I'm happy to be proven wrong. It means I learned something that day. And I love learning new things.
He doesn't want a dictatorship to save himself. He wants a dictatorship because he wants to be the fuckin dictator.
Only good news about this is thanks to Daddy Doge being head of the government Doge means I'll be rich in '27 when Doge (the currency) hits $2.
Can't beat em join em
Right slavery is pretty much ≥ genocide
just saw something and wanted to see if in fact this was in the Bible.
Of course it is. Why at this point does this surprise me.
That God would ask this of someone. As a fucking test el-mao.
"Hey. Sacrifice your son." "Ok stop! Just chill man it was a test. You passed. Yes, I gave you free will, but still want you to lick my boots. Just of your own free will."
Serve me peasants.
Sounds like a god id love to meet! /S
the usual reddit bullshit is going on..
..over at reddit.
I was genuinely pleased with this games first expansion. Did I have gripes? Sure! Story felt squeezed, could have given us more there, usual bugs this that and the other but all and all - they've reworked progression the way we've been asking them to for so long. Almost every activity seems to have a unique set of things (or nearly unique set) you can't get from other places.
It's almost I said almost balanced! (Image provided based on limited testing)
Spiritborn has an extra 0 added onto every thing sure, gotta sell expansions. That'll go Away.
Overall though this is the most fun I've ever had with the game and coincidentally the slowest I've leveled! Imagine that hmmm. Lol.
Meanwhile (while I'll admit not all of the players in sub are like this) the reddit d4 bad sub continues to whine,complain, and say "this is why I didn't buy the expansion" any chance they get.
So you.. chose.. not to purchase an expansion.. and then you choose.. to sit around that games subreddit bemoaning how you hate the game and that seems to you a valuable hse for your time?
Either they're lying and can't afford it and are mad about that or something or they have issues. So glad I left reddit. End rant.
HDMI 2.1
You guys notice how they're pushing these HDMI 2.1 cables on like Xbox One s users and stuff with 4K TVs? Or even the 8K TVs that aren't capable of the 120 frame rates and stuff like that.
It's kind of crazy how they start marketing this s*** years and years before so you end up buying the product that doesn't even do any good for you unless you can afford a crazy good gaming TV or monitor, or your PC player that actually knows what you're doing, but you end up buying all this extra useless s*** don't even realize that it's not giving you any real upgrades to quality, and then by the time it actually is giving you upgrades to quality 2.6 is out.
My buddy just bought an 8K TV and his next door neighbor told him oh bro now you got to go get that HDMI 2.1 cable.
Your TV is not a gaming TV yes it's 8K compatible but you can also achieve that with a 1.4. which you already own three of. And you're certainly not going to pull 120 frames and if you do you'll never pull 160. Not to mention your Xbox wouldn't push 120 frames if you manually pushed 120 frames through it? Don't really know where I was going with that. Point is let alone 160.
I tried explaining the concept of bottlenecking to him probably 75 times but he's only ever owned one PC in his entire life and I'm pretty sure it was like a Best buy bought.
Capitalism is beautiful.
sourcing
Is it allowed? If not publicly can anyone dm me? I have serious medical issue that I'm awaiting surgery for and could use a very specific muscle relaxer or benzodiazepines. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
is this even active?
Hello, new here.. serious advice needed
So my sister is a textbook narcissist. I don't know when we (the family) realized it. But at some point it became abundantly clear.
Not to get into too many details, I'll get into this specific situation I need advice on.
She was living with my mom, after a breakup, with her 4 children. She found a new man, and moved in with him. On the way out she got into a fight with my mom's husband, our stepdad of two decades.
She blamed my mother for the fight. She kept her kids from my mother and the entire family for over a year while this guy and her lived together.
Now, finally, they broke up. As I knew would happen, she immediately reached out to my mom as if nothing happened and started asking her to babysit. Because she needed someone, all that didn't matter. No apologies, no nothing.
Now she's involved in DCFS etc but that's another story.
For example tonight, she's asking her to watch them while she goes and hangs out with some dude.
My mom thinks that just giving in and doing whatever she wants is best because it means she gets to see the kids.
I hate the idea of her not standing her ground though I understand her feelings.
Is there a way to genuinely get some upper ground here on my mother's end? Should she take a stand and try to force some humility now, while she has something my narcissist sister needs? (Childcare)
Or should she just keep bending over backwards at the drop of a dime every time she calls needing a sitter?
Please help. I'm at my wits end here.
question about icon meaning
One of my posts was up for a while and was getting comments/interactions etc, and everything was fine - but now there is a gavel icon next to it and it doesn't show up in my "about" post history. Did I do something wrong or?
repost because I was out of it - suspicious of potential cheating
Editing after time to think everything through. No idea where it came from. Prolly never will know. Works well for my Xbox and TV though, less bending over when I switch rooms etc.
I've decided some things just can't be explained and trust wouldn't be worth anything if it was easy all the time. Thanks for everyone who took the time to respond to this and the other messed up posts - even the one guy who is apparently my secret psychologist and knows me better than I know myself!
Enjoy, mates!
Original
Reposting this because I was out of it this morning thanks to a muscle relaxant doc gave me that I took last night - clearly was still out of it when I typed it out originally. Thanks to those who originally commented. So the general situation is this:
-
she cheated years ago at valentines day party, was bad alcoholic at time and made out with some dude. Had to find out on my own through chance pretty much, trickle thruthd me after that.
-
has not since, that I know of, and genuinely seems to care about relationship. Also never drinks anymore at all.
-
still have somewhat toxic behaviors we are both working on. We lived together for 2 years but recently moved out and back into respective parents houses due to ongoing foot injury, with me not being able to work and thus we couldn't afford bills
-
decided to stay together and spend every other weekend at hotel for alone time, see each other about 4-5x per week and sex 1-2 times.
-
Used her car to move last of my stuff to my parents, and I never bought it at the old house.. she says she may hAve but can't find receipt and isn't the type to buy something like this regardless.
-
Yesterday found a 50-80bdollar surge strip protector in her car in box, no sticker with address, and we both asked our families - no one knew where it was from.
Am I wrong to assume she may have had someone else in there and he left it in there on accident?
If I am missing details anyone feel free to ask.
Basically what I'm struggling with here is where the hell this thing could have come from since it wasn't in her car a couple weeks ago and no one seems to know where it came from including her
