Golf courses actually see pretty frequent use; anybody who has played a public course on the weekend knows what it's like to be constantly waiting to take your shot because the group in front of you is still putting, and the group behind is waiting to take their tee shot.
A much bigger waste of resources and land are the sterile suburban yards that barely get used at all.
I do wonder how much fertilizer runoff, herbicide use, etc the average golf course is responsible for
This is every colonizer's playbook: you make constant small incursions, then when the people finally push back, you use it as an excuse to wipe them out and take the land.
You might see it that way, because you're predisposed to seeing how ridiculous it is, but people have been using this unironically for a long time now.
I think the idea (I don't say plan, because I think it's more of a seat-of-the-pants situation) was to first destroy Twitter as a platform for any kind of left wing activism.
Next, make it profitable as a subscription based right wing social media app.
The shit last week was just a rich, fragile narcissist lashing out at his perceived enemies.
I also want to add that many landlords were beginning to demand that their tenants pay with venmo, or other e-payment services, and those leeches need to pay their taxes.
There are some movies that just don't exist on streaming. I've torrented movies, then looked them up to see what service they're streaming on, and you just can't watch them, not even an option to pay for it.
Yeah. Your item on Amazon often will say "order fulfilled by Company Y." You can look that company up to see if you can order directly from them, that way they still get the sale without Bezos taking his cut.
They're all money grubbers. The board are part of a rationalist cult called Effective Altruism that claims to want to save humanity, but they believe they need lots of money to do this (Sam Bankman-fried is an EA guy.)
Sam Altman is also nominally part of this group, but also hangs out with people like musk and Rishi Sunak. He's more like your typical alt-right tech bro.
I disagree. I don't like listening to him, but I can understand why the people that are attracted to right wing grievance politics are entranced by his style.
Like any cult leader, it's the rhythm of the words. If you're somebody like me (and presumably you) then you get caught up on the abhorrent things he's saying. If you generally agree with his premises and nod along, I think it's easy to almost get hypnotized.
It's my opinion that every single person in the upper levels is this organization is a maniac. They are all a bunch of so-called "rationalist" tech-right AnCaps that justify their immense incomes through the lens of Effective Altruism, the same ideology that Sam Bankman-fried used to justify his theft of billions from his customers.
Anybody with the urge to pick a "side" here ought to think about taking a step back and reconsider; they are all bad people.

I care about calling out that dude's bullshit in front of people he might influence.
