No, but they knew exactly what the Israeli reaction would be, and that said reaction would end up providing a wave of freshly minted fighters.

There's a handful of people that really don't want to acknowledge that

People shit on Elon Musk’s stuff for internet points.

Yeah has nothing to do with the fact that he's actively furthering the west's descent into authoritarianism or anything. Guy misses apartheid

We can argue whether or not it's still relevant today/how it needs to be changed, but trying to claim that the second amendment doesn't very, very heavily imply firearms is disingenuous at best.

The fact that Smedley Butler isn't loudly championed as one of the greatest heroes in American history is a god damn travesty

There's a reason the song Evilest Man about Rupert Murdoch exists

I mean, yeah. They absolutely don't want to be spending bandwidth on those of us who use adblockers. What I don't think a lot of people realize is that Google is perfectly happy with the people who are essentially never served an ad not using the service anymore. Saves them money.

Which would be exactly why the rest of us dream of a future where they don't exist

Clearly doing so is a waste of energy.

Oh I don't doubt that in his mind he is improving the world.

The issue is that his vision for an improved world also includes it being a neofascist hellscape. Dude misses living in apartheid

I think anyone who has even the slightest idea of how the market works knows Tesla is grossly overvalued. Obviously it's nowhere near the whole story, but when their market cap is nearly 20× that of Ford's with ½ the revenue, something is fucky

Continued complacency by people bitching about candidates not being good enough is how we're on the knifes edge of destroying our democracy here in the states.

I don't like the people I vote for, but I sure as fuck would rather live in our current neolib hellscape than the psuedotheocratic bullshit the loudest voices in the GOP so clearly want. Sitting on your ass enables exactly that

That'd require there to have ever been a candidate I like. There hasn't been, at least on the federal level

On paper, sure. They gave them $10B. They absolutely have some sort of voice here

There's the potential that the root cause behind the firing could end up having ramifications in the AI/wider tech sector. There's no evidence pointing towards anything right now so all of this is purely theoretical, but if he was for example somehow covering up major financial issues that severely impact OpenAI, you could see that effect the industry as a whole.

If anything, “Sunshine and rainbows” renewables are a psyop to help entrench fossil fuels long-term.

Specifically in regards to the "if it's not perfect we shouldn't even try" crowd, that's exactly what it is. Imperfect solutions we can implement now are infinitely better than perfect solutions that come years too late

Decades and decades of fossil fuel company FUD about nuclear that they managed to get the greens to buy into a long time ago.

Im pretty sure thars just because people suck

Rocket shoes? Yeah, definitely rocket shoes

You're right the world isn't going to end. But the water shortages, refugee criseses that make anything we've ever seen look like nothing, losing significant amounts of coastline, and much more frequent much more extreme weather sure as fuck is going to reduce quality of life significantly.

If facing the reality we're in causes you to go "oh well I give up", that's a you problem. Acknowledging that were in for a real tough time if people don't start taking this seriously isn't the problem, the fact that people aren't taking it seriously is.
