So… next step is going to be to assume George Soro’s is paying off half the country to pretend not to like trump. Honestly though I’m just finding it disturbing that it’s still over 40%. He’s cost so many jobs, deported people who voted for him, crashed the economy… how the hell is he still 10 points over W Bush?

It did crack me the hell up when all the reports that grinder was overloaded the weekend the RNC convention occoured.

I mean worth noting much like the simpsons, a good portion of futurama is mocking actual events or traits of companies. Especially ones like the eye phone etc…

I mean it cuts both ways always on everything, Just like when the outrage on chickfillet supporting anti LGBT organizations, lead to conservatives calling for everyone to patronize them. Draw attention to an organization’s stance on a pollarized issue. Expect both sides to act accordingly.

I’m afraid we need a good ryme, or a 3 word chant in order for it to actually resonate… anyone got a go woke go broke equivelant for nazi’s or white supremacists.

Go nazi go kamikaze?

Me too… well using linux is technically opting out to that right?

well yeah… backing should be merit based not seniority based. You’ve been there 30 years, and no one knows what the hell you are doing, you’ve not fought for anything we want. Get lost… if you’re still backing good policies, standing up for what’s right and making people happy, stick around as long as you want.

A bit of why I fear the general concept of term limits. Bernie sanders is still far and away one of the best in congress. He’s old as fuck, been there forever… but easilly in the top 5 most active senators…

Yeah I would second the view, if it weren’t for decades of the opposite of the DNC bending over backwards for it’s incumbants. If they had a history of staying neutral and not regularly backing the incumbents. But as they do… then the opposite needs to happen.

He needs to step away from everything until people forget about him. Him being involved in any company will not help that company.

My thoughts exactly… Tesla isn’t falling appart because Musk has been too busy to help it. It’s because Musk is associated with tesla and he’s basically pissing off anyone that might buy an electric car.

There honestly isn’t a solution for the company going under beyond…

1. Sell Tesla to someone with a good reputation.

2. Give up any means of trying to be a free market system, and pivot tesla entirely to being government funded.

I mean, just in general he was a genious, but also like many geniouses, he fell prey to a shit ton of nonsense. From how I understand it, he spent equal time and believed in equal importance on his study of physics, alchemy and finding hidden codes in numerology of the bible.

Sense of humor and personality, no clue, don’t think that generally is super strongly carried in surviving literature.

With the one possible exception that Musk sells a large enough portion of his shares that not only does he not guide it, but no longer gains significant percentage of it’s profits.

I personally like the community a lot more… though I suppose it also depends why you were banned from reddit as to whether you’ll be happy here.

If you were banned for talking shit on minorities, trans people or something like that, you’ll probably find yourself quickly banned from most instances here. Unless you just avoid the topics

If you were banned for say, being a fan of Luigi Mangione etc… You’ll probably be very happy here. Point is lemmy admin’s in general are very open to the left, and very accepting of more or less anything but intolerance.

If you were banned for non political views… then I guess it depends a lot, You can talk far more openly on topics of piracy etc… in most instances.

I don’t think they are the “new” anything… LGBT will be the new jews… I’m pretty sure autistic people will have their same place in the new reich that they did in the old one.

Next will be ADHD people… and I’m sure they all will be sent with a camp, that will help them focus… a concentration camp if you will.

Well yeah, liar is going to lie… but worth at least pointing out, he’s claiming we’ll make it up in tax savings… but then he’s raising taxes on us.

Has he actually explained a plan to even “cut our taxes” because if I recall every tax proposal that’s come up raises the taxes on people living paycheck to paycheck.

I mean, all the events leading to trump winning the first time seemed far fetched… and the second time… insane. Honestly it was over half way into the 2016 general that I realized… oh shit this isn’t just a meme and a joke of people ironically saying they support this lunatic, there’s actually enough serious supporters that he could win.

You’d think there’s not much reason for that… I mean, the god they believe in famously selected a lot of unqualified crazy people. Noah an alchoholic, David couldn’t keep it in his pants, and had to arrange the death of one of his best soldiers to deal with it.

“Why should I trust a bunch of randos with it? Why should I give them my password? […]”

lol that right there you should respond no one should have your PASSWORD (singular) to begin with. Companies large and small have data breaches all the time. If the same password is on more than 5-10 sites, you should assume it’s been compromised by now, and explain that they need a password manager.

Far as it goes with professional companies, we are talking public posting social media, the differences between them are all public, the biggest thing is what they chose to censor. Twitters cool with letting nazi’s speak, but censoring the left. Most lemmy instances are the opposite, but there even are lemmy instances that are backwards with that… which is the point. We all have differing oppinions on where the line should be drawn on acceptable speech, Being able to custom pick one of 50 groups is more likely to find one that works for you, than picking one of 3 social media giants that will have their own rules.

Only if he admits that a mistake was made. Doesn’t matter if it’s his own, trumps or any other members still in the inner circle… as long as everyone keeps sticking to the “witch hunt”, “nothing happened” approach
