@dauntlesseskimo A footnote? Renly courting their support made him the favourite to win the throne and they basically outmaneuvered everyone else before Cersei's stupidity with the faith
Ten years ago, Elon Musk and Jack Ma both looked like avatars of the future.
Musk was building electric cars, rockets, satellites, and AI. Jack Ma was building Alibaba, the crown jewel of China’s internet economy.
Fast forward a decade: Musk is worth $1.1 trillion.
Jack Ma was forced into silence, Ant Group’s IPO was crushed, Alibaba lost its aura(its stock plunged by more than 60% since 2020), and China’s tech sector went from world-beating to politically domesticated.
One entrepreneur was allowed to compound.
The other was reminded who really owns the scoreboard.
This is not just a story about two billionaires.
It is a story about two systems. One system lets madmen build rockets to Mars.
The other cuts down its most successful entrepreneur for flying too close to the sun.
That is why Musk became the world’s first trillionaire.
And Jack Ma became a warning label.

@InaneNonsense@PetrYanIsBetter@downbadcomment Stop jorking it and your sensitivity will return in 2 to 3 months. After I realised I couldn't come from real sex when I could to porn I quit cold turkey. Haven't looked back ever since.
@downbadcomment He watched too much porn. Simple as. I experienced the same thing once before, quit porn and my sex life improved. Only downside is I cannot last as long as before.
@Linahuaa What if I want love not cheap prostitutes and fleshlights? What if I want to pick out flowers, walk in the park, share chocolates and go to concerts together? That's reason enough for me. And it may be difficult but I'll find a woman who wants those same things with me.
@BWLH_ The code that sent the rocket to the moon was written by a black women. Like it or not it was a collaborative effort that involved different races of Americans. And ever since the first apologies mission a more and more diverse cohort of scientists and engineers have...
@american_screed@WestsideLAGuy That's not the issue. Most guys are willing to wait if a girl wants to wait. What hurts is if she wants you to wait but will sleep another guy on the first date. It shows that she doesn't find you very attractive.
