Money also buys things that enable you to explore things.

Like if you buy an instrument you’re usually out $100-200 at a minumum especially if you add on books and accessories. but learning it can be super rewarding for years.

Are muppets disturbed by us, and think we’re muppets with skin and flesh?

Absolutely, or it’s like an internet liberal thing not a real person thing.

I was at a puzzle meet and had brought a harry Potter puzzle and had a moment of “oh shit, JK Rowling is not the best choice for this group” but no one actually cared for something that tangentially transphobic.

That’s an interesting one. It’s not like you can stop music and explain the instrumentation in the middle of a song. I have seen in live shows when they use uncommon instruments they’ll explain it either at the start or between songs.

I think a big part of appropriation is either pretending the thing is from a different culture or just divorcing it from any existing cultural context. People just don’t think about what an actual effect is so just knee jerk accuse anything vaguely similar of cultural appropriation.

Where’s he going to get the money for that? His money in is tied up in Tesla stock and no banks will give him a cent after the Twitter debacle.

And then fortnite dance in their face while they’re hunched over.

Wow, I can’t believe you’d just ignore Girl’s Generation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girls’_Generation

I mean, what was the post? Some things that are posted are offensive whether or not you intended that and it’s not unreasonable for someone to comment on that.

If it’s happening to someone so often they need to physically move to a different platform, maybe they should pay more attention to what their saying and the audience you say it to.

Like if I’m with friends and someone makes a dead baby joke, I’d probably laugh, if someone recently had a miscarriage the reaction to that joke will be very different.

I wouldn’t expect a lot of 4chan jokes to fly in normal society and if you can’t engage with normal society without making 4chan appropriate jokes, maybe you need to work on your conversational skills.

I read like 2 chapters of rationality and had to stop after 2 chapters. It read like one of those pick mes in school who were smart enough to string together a smart sounding sentence but super insecure about themselves so played up this intellectual persona as much as they could.

Nah, not enough flannel.

The Russian oligarchs clearly thought it promoted a desire within them for some kind of relations.

Steven Pinker also resigned for the same reason. I had picked up one of his books at an airport. The man is insufferable.

At least with Democrats they eat all faces equally regardless of race religion sexuality or gender identity.

Also people generally are less surprised considering how they treat progressives within their own party.

I’m not actually that surprised a vote by a bunch of politicians was decided based on politics and not which candidate was a better fit.

This seems hypocritical to me, but also I would caution against anyone supporting a GoFundMe or any crowdfunding with a high profile persons name on it because I wouldn’t trust the organizer to just take the money and run.

He did more labor for that 50k than someone like Musk did for their next 50k

But AI is so useful for laundering racism, sexism, and IP theft with plausible deniability.

Even if that is the case, if we can prove legally that there was a stolen election, even if the perpetrators are pardoned (which might not be possible if it’s a state level offense) its important to have this out in the open.

Because they need the money to pay off their $20mil in debt.
