Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
956 Worldwide replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
Does anyone but me read “Bluesky” as “bloo-ski,” like a Penn State middle linebacker? -
I think that Democrats might start asking whether “fuck America and Thanksgiving” is ever going to beat stupid ultranationalism in a national election. I’d propose that leadership needs to make it known that shit like this gets you on the House Administration committee for life.

Thing$ $till not going well for Joe Rogan, I $ee.
956 Worldwide replied to Parliament's topic in Cloak Room
It’s not even that, having Zelenskyy on would hinder his ultimate goals. The new media literacy is to move from a content-driven analysis to an outcome driven analysis. The baseline question being: do consumers of this media come away with a more or less informed and reality based understating of the topics discussed. For Rogan, the answer is clearly less informed and reality based. You can clearly file his platform away as a manipulator of information. As such, his platform cannot be reformed or used successfully by anyone hoping to advance a reality-based conversation or solution. It’s important to note that even clearly slanted media can pass this test. For instance, though the mid-2000s a regular reader of either The New Republic or National Review would arguably have a better (if politically slanted) grasp of politics and world events than a irregular consumer of mainstream media outlets. The same cannot be said of Rogan, his listeners are far more likely to simply believe absolute bullshit. His posture as an unbiased and unafraid open interviewer makes him even more toxic. Elevating alien theorists and quacks to the same level of actual scientists or doctors doesn’t reveal the idiocy of the former. Rather, it introduces confusion and a plausible belief that fantasy bullshit and reality are both equally justified beliefs. Again— he exists to manipulate information and has become an extremely influential and powerful person as a result. The purpose of a system is what it does.- 4026 replies

I am glad you posted this. Here’s the clip: It’s one to put to bed the notion that Rogan will talk to anyone and is working to present all sides of issues. The fact is that his show is a vector of information manipulation and that he will NOT open his to discuss viewpoints that run counter to his chosen narratives that mostly support the political populist low-information right. It’s also time to put to bed the idea that his offer to Kamala was genuine or that future democrats need to work to get on his platform. He’s there to undermine them, that’s the purpose.- 4026 replies

Official Thread for Abortion Demagoguery
956 Worldwide replied to bad_teammate's topic in Cloak Room
Regardless of where you stand on this issue, Ana’s schtick here is so disingenuous. A bunch of people opposed to Texas’ law warned that it would have serious and dangerous consequences beyond its stated intent. The law passed, we see those consequences in real life and Ana’s response is: ”Those consequences are a result of misapplication of the law and none of you assholes are serious about fixing this law you didn’t want in the first place (and which is only being misinterpreted anyway so it doesn’t really need fixing).” Such utter horseshit. -
Official Thread for Abortion Demagoguery
956 Worldwide replied to bad_teammate's topic in Cloak Room
I’m in favor of reducing overpopulation by extending equal rights to women, putting every girl in school, ending forced and childhood marriages, expanding equal access to women’s health and birth control, and removing barriers to women in the workplace. This One Simple Trick of letting women and girls choose their own lives will bring your birthrate down. It also makes your society a much nicer place to hang around in. We will absolutely struggle with short term effects of navigating a graying world but we also have a duty to the living creatures we share the planet with to not destroy our only common home. The main problem is that the absolute worst people from every creed, race, and nation are united in their loathing of a world where women get a say in how many babies they have because their actual ideology is completely unattractive so all they have is reproduction.- 6289 replies

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
956 Worldwide replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
This is a conspiracy that Alex Jones really promotes. What it’s really about is that extending equal rights to women, expanding girls education access, promoting women’s health care, and ending childhood and arranged marriages is guaranteed to cause a birth rate drop. -

The thing is that DJT didn’t even end up needing their votes to win so all they did was deliver their voices to his “mandate” such that he can now safely ignore any subsequent lobbying. Total strategic failure which all should be familiar with given the track record of Arab armies over the past century. -

Tesla, especially top of the line is probably worse than most cars. Tesla’s habit of slashing MSRP in the middle of a production year means that you are eating depreciation AND the new discount. Drive off the lot, next week Tesla cuts the Model X by 10k and you’re just taking that in the wallet. There is also still lingering consumer suspicion over EV batteries out of warranty as there are unknowns, but that’s not Tesla specific. -

Just for grins, I googled and the Ford F-150 has been America’s top selling vehicle for 42 years. In 1985, the top of the line crew cab Lariat with 4wd set you back about 35k in 2024 dollars, which is lower than the cheapest entry point for an F-150 today. Average F-150 today is probably selling around 60k. Granted that today’s trucks are nicer places to drive in and feel more like a luxury car compared to 1985, but these are stupid prices for a truck. And yeah, people who make these types of decisions, financing a truck for 8 years, got us DJT. -
Yeah, no dice on it being that type of girlfriend. It’s just a lady she is friends with but also doesn’t really like. Is there any other kind of wife friend?

Later this month my wife and a girlfriend are going to a concert, and through some online mixup I don’t care to understand my wife got significantly less great seats than they had agreed to buy and when she noticed the show was all booked. Wife is getting reimbursed after the fact so none of the below is related to upsetness over money or a late Venmo or something. Anyway, the girlfriend has been a total PITA about this, griping about the shitty seats, questioning whether she “really” wants to go, asking if my wife can’t contact the vendor and try to upgrade, etc. Last night in the car my wife was both complaining and asking me what she could do to “make it up to her.” Could she find a way to get a backstage pass? Should she offer to get dinner before the show? Should she keep calling the vendor? “You should text her or call her and say that you’re sorry you made a mistake and the seats aren’t as good as ya’ll wanted, but it’s too late and not a big deal worth spoiling a nice evening over so let’s just go and have fun.” Friends, apparently this idea is the equivalent to taking a dump in a box and leaving it gift-wrapped on this woman’s doorstep. Anyway, I pulled the ejector seat on the convo, let them figure it the fuck out.

How much of the delta with the first one is the cast? Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Oliver Reed, Richard Harris, and Djimon Hounsou is a murderers row of talent. I’d watch them debate what kind of pizza to order.

I honestly don’t think that pricing plays a role in pickup truck demand. Those things are stupid expensive and it has no impact on the number of people who don’t need them buying them. -

Voting is a civil liberty and the majority of the electorate was grossly irresponsible with it. It’s not about being threatened, it’s what you do with them. -

956 Worldwide replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
Unfortunately Musk has purchased his way to the right hand of the president-elect, resulting in an appointment to an extra-governmental organization charged with fundamentally dismantling multiple institutions. His tweets about fighter jets knocked close to 4% off the value of a major defense contractor’s stock. It’s real life, although your take is very much in line with the type of people who treat politics and national security like a TV show you can turn off. They end up being extremely irresponsible with their civic liberties. -
Ngl, I wouldn’t get out and say anything, but I’d keep driving if I saw a Trump sign. MAGA’s whole schtick is promising to hurt people you don’t like, so no I won’t help you. Fuck them.

I don’t understand what you’re arguing. Are you trying to say that in the past, Bill Gates or Warren Buffet advocated behind the scenes for the execution of NSC staffers they had beef with? Is this based on anything other than repeat viewings of House of Cards? -
It was Marc Andreesen talking shit.

Just read an article calling Elon an “energy vampire” and that’s exactly the case and descriptor. Just completely latched onto our national discourse and forcing people to drain away their energy combatting his idiocy. -
I’m completely uninterested in doing any more research on this but thank you for posting this. I saw a clip of this guy being absolutely stupid about military aviation on Twitter and wondered who he was and why he was talking about future weapons platforms; now I see he is just another Silicon Valley dipshit.

Time for another ‘my dog is awesome’ thread
956 Worldwide replied to Patricio Swayze's topic in Daily Texan
Been completely laid up with some virus from hell for three days. My man has been there the whole time. Ordinarily he’s completely obnoxious about as much walk time as he can get but he’s been content to just lay around, he knows I’m out of the game. -
