Ah, the “whataboutism” defense.

One doesn’t negate the other; Disney certainly sucks in many other ways, but compared to Musk and his overt racism, Nazism, and harboring and enabling those who would do whatever they could to bring down the US? Fuck Musk, and fuck your feeble fake-out.

Stick to the conversation - we’re talking about Musk here - don’t change the subject to deflect attention.

The Board should have oversight on this, but then there are family members and sycophants on the board, so…

This isn’t a good vs evil battle

Yes it is. Look at Xitter and say Bob’s wrong. And if you can’t see it, you should at least understand which side you’re on.

The Red Bull stealth mobile. But, then…stickers.

This is why the the US Air Force doesn’t have a marketing department.

Many places now, that might be illegal to ask for, like race and sex.

Well, as they’re both analog, why not? Why not add cylinders while we’re at it?

Pee Wee’s Big Adventure is the quintessential road movie and it’s rarely been done better.

Not counting the Max Max films, of course…

Good bot

This was an advert I saw when I moved here decades ago - it pretty much sums up the European experience with noisy kids in stores

The US might be an outlier.

We could use some consolidation - if anything, it’s not general enough in some areas, and others are so tightly defined it’s a circle-jerk.

Edit: had a rethink - I mean it’s all very flat. I wouldn’t mind a small hierarchy to find the topic, and more granularity in subgroups.

This is good - thanks as well!

I’ve first encountered one at a big mall in Thailand (Terminal 21) so it does get a bit of traffic. That was 2012, and as of 2022 they were still there, looking pretty original. They can take a beating.

I added one to the home last year. I’ll never go back to plain paper again.

The end credits talk of a sequel, “Buckaroo Bonzai against the World Crime League” - that script ended up being repurposed into “Big Trouble in Little China”

No, I have not been around any American teenagers for quite a while. I moved from America to Europe a couple of decades ago and the teenagers here (nl) don’t seem to care so long as a can communicate with their friends, one way or the other. We use WhatsApp, Facebook, messages randomly.

It’s not like I grew up without peer pressure… We would be pressured for everything, haircuts clothing, what we watched, what we listen to, what we read, what games we played on what consoles… Are we all so different now? Or is there a lot less guidance for young people these days?

Sad, really. I sometimes wonder if parents should’ve really kept kids away from social media until they’re old enough to know that what other people think isn’t necessarily as important as to what you believe in…

But by then, they could be in their 30s.

You would think teens need guidance in these things, and shouldn’t be left to fend on their own.

Oh hey, you forgot your /s - 👍🙏👋

It is, but that’s not what happening. Downvoting because you don’t agree - so is bullying by negating any comment you don’t agree with.

No one bullies anyone. It’s a choice.
