Melbourbonite, he, bi, hi! No original thoughts here, just replies to media personalities. Unapologetic socialist.

@maxfairclough @ChuckCallesto @elonmusk Eco Umberto defined "fascism" really well in his essay, Ur-Fascim.

@antlfgrnd @oldenoughtosay @kingstongarrick They were false columns. Not structural. And the note was found in a plastic slip, not stuck to concrete.

You're imagining solid columns. I think it's clear that they were closer to stud wall.

[Some Call Me Jim @OpaqueLightbulb]

@Panimu But why? What you're asking for is not the intent of the character. And, frankly, it's a worse design.

Juggler as it is, is quite good. Doesn't need the buff you're asking for.

[Some Call Me Jim @OpaqueLightbulb]

@Panimu The rules have always been this way, though. "Reversing" them would mean actually changing the Juggler.

@YourMomDave1 The glass is unsafe because it cannot be broken in the event of an emergency, as demonstrated by this case. Not sure why you think this is handwaving.

Regarding which, dude, do you seriously want me to comb through four years of NHTSA documents? Get a grip.

[Some Call Me Jim @OpaqueLightbulb]

@YourMomDave1 @DrWallkick You said "her" and I called you out on it, because you're being childish and got a basic context detail wrong. Your reasoning doesn't make sense, you made an argument about someone causing "[their] own death]".

Anyway. The window material isn't safe. That's the link. Duh.

[Some Call Me Jim @OpaqueLightbulb]

@YourMomDave1 @DrWallkick You're right, because she wasn't the secretary. Her sister was.

Maybe learn to read before you start calling people names.

Anyway, I'm going through the federal register and the NHTSA has deregulatory action dated as early as the 25th of Jan, 2017.

[Some Call Me Jim @OpaqueLightbulb]

@YourMomDave1 @DrWallkick They said "created THE Tesla". You said "created Tesla". They're talking about an individual car, which killed a person and was almost certainly not eight years old (so >2016 production).

You're talking about the car company. Which predates 2016. You're just wrong, dude.

[Some Call Me Jim @OpaqueLightbulb]

@YourMomDave1 @DrWallkick Deregulation didn't "give us Tesla". Tesla predates Trump's administration.

I think you don't understand the timeline here.

[Some Call Me Jim @OpaqueLightbulb]

@RJPJ86759765 @theludedude How funny.

[Some Call Me Jim @OpaqueLightbulb]

@RJPJ86759765 @theludedude Then the statement is meaningless.

[Some Call Me Jim @OpaqueLightbulb]

@DreBob0 Optimius is a robot, FSD is just self-driving cars.

Neither of these are artificial general intelligence. That's just entirely, plainly wrong.

[Some Call Me Jim @OpaqueLightbulb]

@theludedude Okay, true, I don't think that diminishes my point though. Tesla is horrifically overvalued at the moment.

US sum market cap is about 50 trillion USD. Tesla is never going to be 10% of the sum market cap.

[Some Call Me Jim @OpaqueLightbulb]

@DreBob0 They're not discussing AGI.

[Some Call Me Jim @OpaqueLightbulb]

@peeeeeeeeeeeno @hankgreen So… You think Tesla will be 20% of the US economy?

Do you understand what that implies?

[Some Call Me Jim @OpaqueLightbulb]

@TorontoTeaCA @hankgreen It's not an acronym, it's a typo that kind of took off on WSB as a way of saying "hold".

So it became associated in that sort of "nonsense investor" space with having bought into a thing and never cashing out.

It's a way they deal with cognitive dissonance, frankly.

[Some Call Me Jim @OpaqueLightbulb]

@HermanSonofHerm No, they don't. Trans people don't pretend that sex is gender, they don't pretend that sex negates gender. Nobody does that.

[Some Call Me Jim @OpaqueLightbulb]

@HermanSonofHerm Yeah, which means you can't use those terms for people you don't know the sex of. That's what that means, dude, that's the definition you've decided you're using.

[Some Call Me Jim @OpaqueLightbulb]

@HermanSonofHerm Gender doesn't negate sex. Nobody says that.

[Some Call Me Jim @OpaqueLightbulb]

@HermanSonofHerm Are you stupid? Your own definition makes it the core element of the terms "man" and "woman".

By your own definition, you can't use those terms to refer to people without knowing their biological sex.

I'm sorry, but it's just a really bad definition. It's totally unusable.
