Nuttin’ for the mutton

Are they going to say that somehow the liberals crowded the place so there was no one there to back her up?

Yeah, that’s pretty much exactly what they’re doing.

Every accusation is a confession

spends a lot of time with his family.

Well, the rest of them are probably true, but we know this definitely isn’t the case.

Stuff leaves you cold and empty inside. He has no one who loves him.

This is very apparent when you look at his falling out with his daughter. She basically pointed all this out, and that he couldn’t just make up for being a shitty dad for years and years by one time “Look, I sold all my stuff!” type gestures.

But “stuff” is literally all he knows, and so when he was called out on it, it seems to have absolutely broken him and now he’s on this massive anti-trans crusade as a way of getting back at her.

it seems to me like he’s probably abused it at some point.

He’s admitted to abusing drugs multiple times in the past, in ways that are very well known to be unbelievably stupid combos, like Ambien and alcohol.

More Americans will become terrorists freedom fighters

You’ve made the world a far better place than any of those shitstains could ever hope to. However little it may mean, you’re improving and saving lives, and we’re all thankful for it.

Also worth noting that he’s stated himself that his companies’ values are all heavily tied together, and that it’s a “carefully balanced house of cards”. If Tesla falls, so to does everything else.

The “pre-orders” weren’t pre-orders. They didn’t secure a VIN, were zero commitment, and were fully refundable at any time. You were literally just giving Tesla a free loan of $100 to say “I might buy one of these”.

Other models? Absolutely. Cybertruck? No, fuck those people. Elon was full mask-off fascist by the time deliveries started.

I think you’re underestimating just how stupid and impulsive Elon is. Reminder that this is a man who decided to get rid of the color yellow at the factory, simply because he doesn’t like it. Anyone who’s ever worked at a factory or industrial site knows that yellow is kind of everywhere as a safety color. But Musk is, again, one of the dumbest people alive and is totally okay making a massive decision that will almost immediately cause harm, solely because he wants to.

He’s not playing 4D chess, he’s playing baby’s first turn-based strategy game and even then he’s not very good at it.

Pretty sure that’s what Musk thinks his is.

Reminds me of mandrakes from Harry Potter. They scream like they’re alive but they’re just there to be harvested.

Funnily enough, this is exactly how billionaires view us.

Ooh, ooh, look at the price of a single Tomahawk missile or anything else we regularly blow up, even in training exercises!

You can either aid democracy in South Africa, or have 1 Tomahawk. I wonder which does the most good…

Not even that. Gun owners re-elected Mr. “Take the guns away 1st, due process 2nd”, they don’t even give a fuck. They’re all a bunch of hypocrites and will screech “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” over and over, but completely ignore the fact that Trump’s policies were absolutely abysmal for gun owners.

Oh, and also enemy combatants. Which is probably what Trump will claim immigrants are in his bizzaro world justification…

This is effectively already what Texas has tried to claim…

They’ll be protected in his basement.

Just want to preface this whole argument with a “This issue is pretty complex, and there are valid reasons to be concerned on both sides.”

I always see the “physical differences” argument, and my response is where do you draw the line? There are outliers of both cis men and women, so if we’re going purely off natural physical ability, is it okay to bump the lowest performance cis men into the women’s league, or the highest performance women into the men’s leagues?

It’s funny you mention rugby, because I have a cis female friend who plays. She’s 5’11 and ~180lbs, and an absolute tank on the field. I’m trans, and we’re basically the exact same size/weight. Her 1RM on basically anything other than bench has always been higher than mine, even as a guy. If the concern is purely about physical differences, then at what point do you start singling out non-trans people for being outliers, even if it’s 100% natural?

While I absolutely understand the issues with allowing those who’ve gone through testosterone puberty into sports with those who haven’t (painting with as broad a brush as possible), I think the main reason I struggle to agree with bans of trans athletes in any capacity is simply because it’s 100% going to be abused by shitty people, and is an overly simplistic solution.

My overly simplistic solution? Stop grouping people by gender, and just break it up into tiered leagues/divisions/weight classes like football/soccer, baseball, or wrestling? Will there be a natural segmentation based off sex? For a lot of sports, almost definitely. But I think it’s the most equitable solution, and also helps break down the idea that women can’t possibly compete against men in any way, or that men are inherently better than women. You now also get the added benefit that people who might normally be cut from a team for low performance now have the opportunity to play in a lower division, and have a reason for the players in the low/mid divisions who might obliterate the competition to have a reason to keep improving for a shot at a higher division.

Now, feel free to tear apart my idea, because I’m sure there are many aspects of it I didn’t clearly think through, but it’s just a thought.

If you go far enough right, solar and wind are extremely popular. Very much leads to some weirdness when I was researching solar for my house, and kept stumbling into prepper communities and the like.
