The most convincing argument that elon does a lot of cocaine is just listening to him speak in a less formal interview.

BUT! I don’t think he used to be actually smart, just lucky. Too many people assume “succesful” people had to have done something exceptional to earn it, but 99% of extremely wealthy people acquired that extreme wealth through a simple combination of luck and startup capital (which of course they have because they are lucky).

I’ll just let you know you missed the joke. No one is trying to frame lower taxes and small government as hateful - they might despise them as policy, but it isn’t anything to do with the hateful reputation of conservatives.

The views that are getting conservatives labeled hateful generally have more to do with the racism, the sexism, the homophobia, the transphobia, the disregard for human life, the disregard for other peoples economic standing, the warmongering, or the weird way they keep voting against letting kids at school have free lunch.

It’s rainbow capitalism, sure, but if someone is going to make money selling rainbow cans with alcohol in them, at least this is outside of pride month and owned by an actual gay person. It’s more genuine than rainbow cans of bud light, at least.

And the more successful Gay Water is, the more this can be an easy response to that dumbass “go woke go broke” shit.

Who is trying to frame lower taxes and small government as hateful?

Or did you not mean those views?

Congratulations on being the smartest person in this thread so far, no one else has apparently ever heard of a pump before

Owners are owners. I can’t have too much sympathy if a group of disenfranchised people, who have never had the opportunity to own anything, don’t distinguish between hyper capitalists and regular vanilla capitalists. Both are pieces of the system that denies people the value of their labor.

No, you don’t understand, batman is rich so he is allowed to use violence.

I see. That does change the tone I read it in when I know the intent.

Personally, I find infinite scrolling makes browsing on my phone with only one hand considerably easier.

What was your intention? Your comment seems like a direct value judgement, and you made no obvious effort to answer the question. Weren’t you basically telling OP “you shouldn’t want that”?

I doubt they would be willing to let people host and control their own versions of federated facebook, and I’m wondering then what would make it “decentralized” exactly. Are they just using decentralized as a buzz word because they are using ActivityPub?
