Look how patriotic Democrats (and I don't have to mention, #resist Republicans) get all of a sudden when Trump seems a bit too friendly to North Korea or Russia. Or the echoes of "We have to do something!" that popped up about Syria. It seems for the political class its literally impossible to learn anything. Or that they don't actually regret Iraq, it's just in vogue to do so.
If I were a shareholder I'd advise Elon to do something truly epic to distract from this. Like what if instead of the rainbow road easter egg they added a bacon road?
“First they came for the big pharma capitalists that caused opioid epidemic, and I did not speak up because I was not a big pharma capitalist that caused the opioid epidemic.” Etc.
What if I work real hard and become one of those guys one day. I don’t wanna get executed.
That sounds literally identical to 'If you're not doing anything wrong do you haven't anything to hide.' or 'Don't commit crime if you don't want to be raped in prison.' "Lets just throw out civil rights." is an incredibly dangerous notion.
Don’t see anything anti “civil rights” about using a punishment often given to people who kill a single victim to people who kill hundreds of thousands, just because the more efficient killers do so from an office building.
People post this quote all the time, but he never actually said that. It's a misinterpretation of one of his stories where the "temporarily embarrassed millionares" are people that voted to have a socialist society thinking that everyone would become wealthy, but in reality everyone became poor except for people in the government. They consider themselves temporarily embarrassed because they believed that giving the government full control of their lives would be better than capitalism, and they don't want to admit that they were all naive.
As a demoscener, it's always awesome to see our craft leak out into other places. Aphex Twin getting in on the aesthetic is a real feather in the cap of the scene.
I think a lot of HN readers over a certain age have spent time on SA. It’s easy to code switch and I wouldn’t have trouble mocking my own comments there in the house style.
A funny memory is how the right-wing mocked this article relentlessly, before Jeff Bezos was bad in their minds. I can't wait for Alex Jones et al to become advocates for warehouse workers all of a sudden.
Not even just the Supreme Court. Federal judgeships are being handed out left and right to (often unqualified but ideological) members of the Federalist Society. It's probably the biggest thing that Trump will have done that'll affect us our entire lifetimes.
> The team began their study with the conventional measurement of cesium-137 levels in the unopened bottles. That showed levels to be indistinguishable from background noise.
And yet I bet wine snobs are gonna pretend their palates are so refined they can taste it now.
