I feel productivity rising already and am behind this initiative.

Just like his magic '215' weight. That dude is easily over 300 pounds.

"If we are investigated and it turns out we lied to get more sales, it could hurt our sales if we can't continue to lie about our products."

Well, when you get a bunch of fundamentalist homeschooled idiots led by a no-schooled idiot, you get uneducated chaos.

No argument there at all, on scale of 1 to 10 of stupid, 10 being the dumbest, W is a 6 or 7, while Trump marks an 11 on the scale and then claims he's a 50.

Or, Elon Musk is just an idiot doing the same idiot things he's always done.

Just because Donald Trump is a moron doesn't mean George W Bush wasn't incredibly stupid. Both things can be true.

Let's not forget that Bush only graduated from college because his parents donated money to keep him from being given failing grades and flunking out.

There are entire buildings on the Yale campus that only exist because W was such a poor student.

How utterly silly. Imagine the delusion to set a deadline for answers from people who don't work for you and owe you no response other than a form letter.

I cancelled last year after watching Stranger Things. It was literally the only show I'd watched on Netflix in over two years. I'd been paying for a service I wasn't even using, and even though nobody was sharing a password for my account, the price hikes and sudden change of password policy were enough for me to stop paying them. Obviously I haven't missed it, since I wasn't watching it, but I may not have cancelled if not for the price going up each year.

It's become too vapid to be of any value.

I'm not sure what happened, but the strip slowly started introducing political content that was somewhat relevant...but at some point you can't tell exactly what the point is, and it seems Sinfest's creator is very susceptible to suggestion to the point where they don't have a viewpoint of their own, and are just spewing wild ideas about the world that are no longer grounded in any basis of principles.

I didn't even know Keenspot was still around! Not a fan of furries but will check out the others.

Sinfest derailed about 7 or 8 years ago.

If Jamie Dimon says it, it's worthless and he's invested in something that he hopes he can sway opinion into a payoff.

This guy has been wrong so many times he's clear proof you can be an idiot and still stay rich.

'Rare form of pnuemonia' -> it's COVID and she's unvaccinated.

Every idea Musk comes up with is worse then his previous idea. At this rate, within a year he'll propose forcing Twitter users to publicly post their home address and phone number, and try to make them pay for it.

Americans have an innate cultural belief that if someone has money, they are therefore smart. It doesn't matter how the person got their money - whether they inherited at birth, or they stole it, or they had a relative who won the lottery. In the US, we will defer decisions to others who we perceive to have wealth because it is a cultural belief.

This is, of course, obviously wrong. A person who is born into wealth as an infant has no influence on their own success any more than any other infant.

There is also a culture where those who are born into wealth also believe they are smarter than everyone else, and the lack of accountability in their lives often leads to wildly incorrect business ventures, doubling down on narcissistic behavior, and a complete disconnect with how 99% of the human population thinks and lives.

Elon Musk has lost $40 billion dollars worth of value in just over a year on one business venture. He won't be able to make Twitter work, because he doesn't have any better ideas than anyone else who ran Twitter. He's also quickly proving that his ideas are far worse. There's no grand plan. There's no conspiracy. He's just a lazy rich kid who smokes weed all day and thinks he's a genius.

No thanks

Yes, it's clear Google search is broken. Even searching for things you know exist may not show up in the search results no matter how specific you are.

I didn't even realize they owned BandCamp. I wonder what the profit margins are for the app as it is now.

Finally a decent episode.
