@TooVilla16 @robert_zubrin @ChrisHelali Debatable. The Ukrainian SSR had its own flag and an independent seat at the United Nations, of which it is a founding member. But they were a quasi-state controlled by the greater Soviet Union.

@RoadDawg2022 @kbnjq @PeteButtigieg You're not a bigot because you used the word queer, you're a bigot because you think it's relevant to the conversation. Unless being queer means he's unable to do math or unable to read public reports and statements on this topic, it has no bearing on his qualifications.

@FernanAyuso @Why0hWhyy @Trey_Explainer He literally passes for human without his armor and face shield. This is a key component of not only several plot arcs where he pretends to be human, but also a major source of his anxiety in that he's treated as human without the helmet, which he actively dislikes.

@2ndBurnerOnTs @Stephen_Fremel @YtheTos26106 @SurlyWanderer @Why0hWhyy @Trey_Explainer The series is called The Murderbot Diaries, by Martha Wells, and it is excellent. The first book is All Systems Red.

@0youngbs @Theo_TJ_Jordan @notlarryhagman @AlanLevinovitz Agreed, but I wasn't answering for his benefit, I was answering for the benefit of people who might read this thread later and not realize it's a bad faith question.

@Dante45p @NornQueenKya @zetten_1 Can confirm. I started playing because it looked like a turn-off-your-brain game to kill some time, and I kept playing it because the story is legitimately pretty fucking good for stuff revolving around the main plot and characters (though I'm personally meh on the filler events)

@Will_W_Welker @Halonut24 @SenMarkKelly Landmines are dangerous because you don't see them when they're buried or hidden. That that doesn't translate to airborne drones.

@dem0cracyhat3r @L0rdRevan_ @extradeadjcb It may have begun with the Talmud but I'd argue it's grown beyond that. As a secular Jew myself, I can't think of a single family member who's actually read a significant portion of it. But the cultural emphasis of literacy and debate persists.

[Cin @ytilis]

@L0rdRevan_ @extradeadjcb If you want a serious answer: partially. Reading is incredibly encouraged in Jewish families and communities, both religiously and culturally. So you wind up with incredibly well read families whose everyday vocabulary when speaking amongst themselves is way broader than average.

@TokenGigaChad @AutismCapital He didn't suspend anything. It's unconstitutional to have an election during a war in Ukraine. The Ukrainian president cannot just decide not to hold elections, he's literally following the law as it was written before the invasion and before he took office.

@ChrisBall51 @PayNoTack @lntuitl0n @hutchinson He "encouraged" Pete to defend himself only AFTER Pete started replying to it, which is a full day and a half after Musk originally saw the post and replied in a way that implies he has no idea. What would his motivation be for NOT denying disinfo if he actually knew?

[Cin @ytilis]

@ChrisBall51 @PayNoTack @lntuitl0n @hutchinson The burden of proof is supposed to be on the person making the claim, not the person being slandered. Why do you think it's absurd for Elon and Linda to correct false info but not equally absurd for the Secretary of Transportation to take time out of their job to refute bullshit?

[Cin @ytilis]

@ChrisBall51 @PayNoTack @lntuitl0n @hutchinson Your premise is "take the names out of it" but literally the entire reason this exchange is embarrassing to begin with is because Elon's OTHER job as Tesla CEO should require him to already know the veracity of that post already or know where to quickly confirm it.

[Cin @ytilis]

@ChrisBall51 @PayNoTack @lntuitl0n @hutchinson For starters, he could've tagged Community Notes directly, which he has many times in the past: https://t.co/QBdJoP3MAP

Instead of "just asking questions", despite the fact that he should know the answer as part of his literal job as Tesla CEO

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@michaelrulli Was that much money actually spent?

[Cin @ytilis]

@PayNoTack @lntuitl0n @hutchinson Oh hey, found the answer: he is indeed breathtakingly incompetent at his job:

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@michaelrulli Was that much money actually spent?

[Cin @ytilis]

@PayNoTack @lntuitl0n @hutchinson Once again: MUSK IS THE CEO OF AN ELECTRIC CAR COMPANY

The President-elect's son is falsely maligning EV infrastructure and calling DoT spending on it "woke". Either Elon knows that's a lie & doesn't care, or he doesn't know and is incompetent. Neither is good.

[Cin @ytilis]

@PayNoTack @lntuitl0n @hutchinson Elon could've said "This is incorrect" and tagged Community Notes to add a correction directly. Instead he's asking the Secretary of Transportation to rebutt it personally and acting as if he, an electric car company CEO, has no dog in this fight, which is insane behavior.
