While it is completely possible musk believes things like this. I still mostly think he just wants to pander to his primary audience and doesn’t mind spreading things he knows aren’t true.

Maybe it doesn’t reach your criteria of a “certain level”, but there’s definitely stories of people winning significant amounts of money in the lottery and being broke years later because they are morons.

My co worker has straight gum rot, like a few millimeter layer where the gums meet their teeth that’s all whiteish green and they have horrendous breath I can smell 15 feet down wind of the AC system. This is due to their horrible personal hygiene, he has a wife with good teeth, I don’t know how she kisses him, I would vomit.

He’s only in his early 30’s and also just had to get one of his K9 teeth pulled out.

Unrelated to the main post but your comment brings up a point I think is important for society to understand. “pedophiles are afraid to seek help.” Pedophilia is a mental disorder and doesn’t inherently mean someone is a criminal, or ever will become one. But because it is such a violent and life destroying term to be labeled as a pedo those who have this mental disorder and are struggling to not offend will never seek the mental help they desperately need, this in turn leads to children being harmed.

Everyone is responsible for their actions, and pedophiles who rape or hurt kids are also responsible for their actions, but society as a whole contributes to more children being harmed by the way we represent and treat the mental disorder.

I’m not an expert but this seems likely fake, it just feels real because they really do let those accounts say whatever

Sadly it will likely take more dystopian actions from state actors like this for monero or other crypto to actually become more popular and usable on a day to day basis.

Someday it’ll happen though, and I can’t wait.

Just the big game studios in Japan are pretty anti-consumer and shitty to their customers.

This veritasium video on radiation includes going into that clothing room near Chernobyl if anyone has 11 min to spare on a cool video https://youtu.be/TRL7o2kPqw0?si=QG-YMohKuLvrTCL7

Honestly if this massive energy need for AI will help accelerate modular/smaller nuclear reactors 'm all for it. With some of these insane data centers companies want to build each one will need their own power plants.

I’ve seen tons of articles on small/modular reactor companies but never seen any make it to the real world yet.

Probably a lot less than what’s in the ocean!

also SaaS is cancerous shit

Yes you can, in fact many people just say they are autistic.

Such senseless loss of life in the name of religion.

If they’d died in the Saudi heat to a secular activity - at an F1 race event or inside a poorly A/C’d movie theater or trapped on an overheated bus - would that have been better?

Well I think religion is one of the few things you can get enough uneducated/dedicated people to die in the hundreds from heat stroke without people being like"I should probably leave"

All the examples you gave, of course except being trapped on a bus, people would realize there is a serious issue and start leaving once the first handful of people died.

“I’m not leaving the theater till I see the end of Iron man 2, I don’t care that half the theaters dead and I’m next!”

EDIT

the Hajj as a cultural event was originally intended as this class-agnostic unifying practice social event.

lol, weren’t women not allowed to go alone until recently or still?

This, Apple is very anti consumer and you have no freedom to use their devices how you want, only how apple wants.

Or hunger games /any of the new Disney kids Star wars movies.

Do you get crazy dreams? I sleep fine but almost never dream, and heard. Ambien gives you wild dreams and have always wanted to take it specifically for the dreams lol

Not a doctor but if you have some will try switching some meals to Soylent or another meal replacement drink. For the past ~7 years my breakfast and usually lunch has been Soylent, and I have a nice big real food meal for dinner.

It’s really easy to track calories with meal replacement drinks and at least for me it’s way healthier than what I was eating previously.

Right, I’m not a creative professional but the occasions I need tools adobe provides there are plenty of open source alternatives I use instead.

Sadly most people won’t care about what adobe is doing, but I can only hope they continue to shoot themselves in the foot. I yearn for the day when they aren’t the dominant player in the space, maybe in 15 years.

Right, I gave them $500 when I was in highschool (don’t judge me) that was like… Jesus it’s almost been 10 years

Science requires peer review, so just keeping it all private isn’t doing much for the scientific community as a whole
