Some of us expressed great concern about the Iran War when it was first launched. We were shouted down and condemned as “panicans” and “blackpillers” and even Islamist sympathizers. But it’s pretty clear from how things have gone that our concerns were absolutely reasonable and legitimate. Maybe Trump will get us out of this thing soon and it still won’t spiral into a long and drawn out war. But even if that happens — and I’m not convinced it will — no thoughtful person can deny at this point that the spiral and long war scenario is very much a possibility. No reasonable person, at this stage, can say that our concerns were irrational. What looks irrational now — and always did — is the demand for blind allegiance and unthinking “trust” in our elected leaders, as though we are called to have faith in politicians like we have faith in God.
@elonmusk, my wife makes a strong case for offering FSD on a per/mile or per/minute basis (the case being that under those conditions she would be on board with us subscribing). Thoughts?
Recently leased a Model Y in Walnut Creek, CA. Had no service inside the store with Verizon and had to keep walking outside to complete the process. Meanwhile our sales rep would get busy with people in the store while we were outside, and had to keep waiting for them to become available again when we completed a step in the process. Awesome car.
As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending.
The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.
Creating a public record. (+*SPOILER ALERT*)
Just finished Severance S2E10 with Innie Mark and Helly running down the hall to a freeze frame. Here’s what I think is going to happen: Innie Mark and Helly are going to go make a deal with Papa Eagan on the following terms: (A) Papa Eagan will turn on OTC for Mark and Helly, allowing them to leave the severed floor (Papa E prefers the Helly version of Helena anyways); (B) Innie Mark and Helly will live together in Lumon housing and keep secret what they know about the severed floor; (C) Innie Mark (pretending to be Outie Mark) will lie about what he knows about Gemma, say something like they were having troubles in their relationship when she ‘died,’ and he had always suspected she faked her own death; (D) Outie Mark will become the version of Mark that is trapped.
I could be totally off base. That’s okay — what a great show and spectacular season finale!
