“Why are blue states always so expensive?!”. It’s supply and demand. High demand to live someplace makes it expensive.

My million dollar house is worth as much as it is because of its located near high paying jobs, good school, and good neighbors. It’s expensive to live where I live because lots of people want to live here.

Trump doesn’t let people gain much power around him and neither Musk or Trump play well with others. Elon will be gone soon enough. I’ve got the popcorn for when the cat-fight starts. Should be fun.

“you spoke mean and hurt my feelings, that’s why I voted for Hitler. It’s your fault.”

I’m confused, why?

I’m 50 and I don’t think I’m an idiot. I don’t think I was an idiot when I was 40. I don’t think I was an idiot when I was 30. I don’t think I was an idiot when I was 20. I don’t think most people around me are idiots. Somehow we must have a different definition of “idiot”.

If you don’t mind sharing, I would love to hear your memories of that.

Drugs.

His massive rightward swing seemed to correspond with when his drug use was reported in the media.

I think his drug use makes him feel like he can’t be wrong and reinforced his conspiracy laden mindset… And that pushes him into fact-free conservative-Central.

It was the boombox outside her window that got her, wasn’t it? /s

The ones that really get me are the way they show execs at companies. The “look, this character is so bad ass at being an exec!”. They always come off as so unrealistic and cringy.

I’ve swam in that ocean, and that’s not how that shit works. Engineering too. In reality, it’s always a team of engineers that get something done… It is NEVER some rich smart guy inventing stuff on his or her own in their super fancy workshop.

I’m confused though, what is the logic for redacting the statement? What is the legal justification?

I feel like you don’t actually remember what web 1.0 was like. Or even bbs’s. They… kind of sucked. I mean they were great for the time, but compared to the internet of today, pathetic.

Tesla sales are down 27% in the US in 2024 compared to same period in 2023 according to numbers here: https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/tesla-us-sales-figures/

If they’re positive growth overall then it has to be because of international sales. I can’t find good statistics on that right now though.

This makes me think it’s worth it to short Tesla. Elon has only gone full Maga in the past few months so I don’t expect sales to improve anytime soon in the US. Politics isn’t the only thing that is dragging sales down, but shit, it’s not like republicans are the ones buying EVs.

Oh no doubt. I’m not saying that I come home and jump into doing chores, I’m saying that doing constructive or productive stuff in your own life can have a good recharge feeling in it’s own way. I certainly come home and veg in front of the computer… but if I spend the whole weekend vegging in front of my computer I end up feeling MORE like shit than I did on Friday. A healthy combination of both leaves me feeling recharged and happy.

Doesn’t matter. Still feels good to get stuff done that’s for you and not for somebody else. I’ve gotten old enough that I’d love doing gardening or fixing stuff around the house on my weekends. That shit’s for me, it makes my life better, not someone else’s.

Just like it would be if Netanyahu was assassinated.

Why not? What’s the benefit of being so bitter?

That’s so weird… with some exceptions, I’ve found most people to be pretty nice and friendly once you get to know them. I would never have said “we’re all equally awful”… I think I want to keep living in my world rather than yours.

The real problem that he failed to show any progress on self-driving. Self-driving has been 2 years away for the past 6 years and that’s the only real thing that will pull Tesla out of a downward spiral. Tesla stock is stupidly overpriced and competitors are catching up.

With nothing but empty promises, people are starting to realize that the emperor has no clothes. And really, who wants to see Musk naked? …that’s a bag nobody wants to be left holding.
