@a_fellow_of Congrats. Most people don’t get that far. To keep it interesting, allow yourself to be a little controversial in a direction you like. You’ll get bigger reactions. It will be electrifying for some and you’ll attract truer friends.
@aimeeterese@tritaniumite They like that, it makes them feel safe. Their wife becomes their mother who tells them what to do in order to be a good boy.
@Davis_TheMann@Janfreterson@cremieuxrecueil I agree, but this isn’t the fault of the 2A, it’s multiculturalism. You see the same issue in the UK with strict gun laws—they just have stabbings. Violence is the issue, not guns.
@Davis_TheMann@Janfreterson@cremieuxrecueil Depends where you live. The safe neighborhoods in the US are no less safe than the safe neighborhoods in Aus, speaking as someone who has also lived in both.
@adams_g68997@L0m3z If you have a super weapon, it is a ONE way street. You must always defer to the government if you’re threatening national security. That’s the role of the government.
@adams_g68997@L0m3z You framed it as if it were an order. It’s not, but even viewed as an order it’s Politics 101: hire a mutually trusted mediator. It’s routine for former politicians to get hired onto boards and C-suites. Ant even does this already with Chris Liddell though he hasn’t helped much.
@adams_g68997@L0m3z If you’re developing a super weapon and you’re compelled to tell everyone about the risks (valid), then you simply must learn how to work with your government. Dario is doing a poor job at working with his government. He should either git gud or hire someone.
@adams_g68997@L0m3z The major differences being that Elon is rather excellent at politics so he isn’t in need of a liaison, and he didn’t spend the entire lifetime of his company telling everyone that his invention is the most dangerous tool ever invented.
@cigarettesummer A big part of what’s making this work (as with most great interiors) is the super tall floor to ceiling window. That being said, I think you’re spot on about the arrangement. The decision to make a nook and not shove the desk into the corner is choice. L-shaped desk is a beauty.
