  1. That sucks. It's performance fell 86% short of where it should have ended up. Society's collective mission should be to bankrupt and completely destroy Elon Musk.
  2. If you are a car insurer.....are you contemplating halting all insurance of a "car" that has now been turned into a hated political statement? If you are a Tesla stockholder who realizes that the entire value of the brand is "Elon," and the odds of Elon being assassinated keep shooting up.....are you unloading that stock? Indeed, there are only two things that can happen with Elon, and both of them are bad for Tesla at anything close to its current stock price: Elon keeps on keeping on, further tanking the price. OR....Elon dies, thus taking away the only thing that makes Tesla unique and thus valuable. But....have no fear. The US government will 100% bail him out. All future vehicle contracts will mandate "Teslas only." The US government will reward Tesla with government contracts to....manufacture typewriters or some shit, it doesn't matter what it is, it just matters that the checks are cashed by Elon. The US government will buy Tesla stock to prop up the price. ETC. It's a full-on kleptocracy, and Elon is leading the charge, while claiming he's saving us a shitload by changing the brand of coffee the government buys. And the idiots eat it up.
  3. Way to set yourself up for a home invasion robbery. You might as well have bragged about the chair in your living room made of gold bars.
  4. That scenario is 100% on the table. Americans need to decide who they are loyal to -- the Republic, or the Trump regime. Because those two interests have a real, material chance of being in a shooting war against each other sooner than anyone would like to think.
  5. Then just root for more tornadoes to even out the voting pools.
  6. Oh, I forgot to add.....my long-term plan is to wait until Trumpworld collapses into full-on bankruptcy, then I will buy his corpse out of the bankruptcy estate, install it in a blue state in a way that it is surrounded by both urinals and private stalls (for the ladies), each of which drains directly onto his corpse, where I will charge people $100 for the privilege of pissing on Trump. Then, I'll have the kind of money that would make Elon Musk jealous.
  7. Yeah, dude....there's 100% overlap.
  8. Good. Tornado alley is solidly Trump country. When the leopard of mother nature eats some of their faces, without any of the warning that a functioning weather science system used to provide......that will be good for society as a whole. They want people to suffer by a massive cessation of government services. They think that everyone who benefits from government services is "welfare queens" (and we all know what color those welfare queens are). Turns out, people who depend on weather warnings to survive are also "welfare queens." Guess they should pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get their own radar and communications connectivity. Fucking leeches.
  9. Dude....they are 100% going to pull a "Lenin's tomb." They'll pickle Il Douche's body, put it inside some elaborate gold (plated) viewing box, install it at Mar-A-Lago, and charge cultists $50 a head to come see it. And then they must exit through a labyrinth of a gift shop full of MAGA and Trump commemorative merch. All roads lead to grift. All of them.
  10. This. Elon is TSLA, TSLA is Elon. Kind of like how there is no GOP but Trump anymore. The TSLA board has to be ride-or-die with Elon. Let's hope the outcome is "die." Because fuck all of them, and fuck the economic enshittification that is "meme stocks."
  11. Zelensky sure as hell better make sure there are no bone saws in the room. A meeting with the US and the Saudis? His trust level should be -1000%.
  12. Black dude: "Look, I know the clan says I am mud people, and should be removed from the country and sent back to Africa, but that's just rhetoric. I really support them because of their community-oriented focus and approach. I'll never join up with the lefties at the NAACP and such. But this actual program of nabbing black people and putting them on ships back to Africa is distracting from our core message, and it just might push me out of the Klan!" Dude. DUDE. The "hatred and marginalization of the other" is not a bug, it's not an appurtenance....it's a feature, it's the fucking core function of the product. You fucking idiots.
  13. I picked up something like that when we were in Germany over the New Year. By the time I got home, it was well on its way to turning into a secondary infection. Got some antibiotics and some codeine cough syrup, and got it under control. But all-in-all, what should have been a normal "cold" messed with me for nearly a month before all the gunk and stuff was out of my system. It wasn't fun.
  14. I mean....we're all joking and laughing now, but.....fucking hell. You're not wrong. We were having lunch on Sunday with some of my mexican family that was in town (they live in Guadalajara, which is not exactly a paradise), and when we discussed Mexico as a "getaway plan" for healthcare and other purposes, they pretty much responded like this:
  15. I'm sorry, I was told that the collective economic geniuses who now control the Trump administration, as well as by every single Trump voter, that the President of the United States controls all prices of everything, and inflation of anything and everything is the fault of the POTUS. They wouldn't lie to us, so the coffee price hike therefore is Trump's fault.
  16. It’s pretty good, and pretty real-deal.
  17. Yeah. It was meadoker. But, I mean…I ate it.
  18. Noshes for dinner. A pickle loaf sammich on white bread. The last of some salmon I smoked with saltines. And the last leftover Cheetos brand jalapeño Mac and cheese the boy made before he left.
  19. If you wanted to incentivize everyone else to develop an alternative to a communications network that can be turned off at the whim of a supervillain…you wouldn’t handle this any differently.
  20. What is being demanded of Russia? Quid pro quos for Dotard. That is 100% certainty. Dotard delivers Ukraine to Putin. Putin delivers wealth to Dotard. Everything Dotard does is 1) purely transactional, and 2) for personal benefit.
  21. Ana agrees with Yarvin, word-for-word. You’ll note that he will never say that he disagrees with Yarvin’s thesis here.
  22. Again…irony is dead. Anything America does abroad is evil American imperialism….including accepting other states into alliance as chosen by those states (like Poland and the Baltics…who MAYBE have significant reason to turn away from Russia). Russian imperialism by open conquest, threats and intimidation…well, that’s natural, and they cannot help it, and the world should accommodate and coddle them, and apologize for being in their way. It’s just f’n awesome to watch.
  23. As you completely sidestep you calling his actual words western propaganda. Perfection.
  24. This. It’s fantastic. Did not address any of the substantive points made, just dismissed it all out of hand as propaganda. Including the part where 956 suggested that maybe, if you’d like to understand Russia’s motives and perspective, we should listen to its autocratic leader’s words. And those words, from his mouth, are apparently - to Ana - American imperialist propaganda. The beclowning is spectacular.

    Frustrating as hell. Lots of chances, no finishing. Gallagher provides a real spark for the bench, although I really hope Desler is ok, because he’s a beast. Kolmanic comes in and makes at least one really pretty cross, but our service was generally unremarkable. And…Wolff cannot be the answer for corner kicks. Nothing happens. He gets little loft. Corners have never been a strength for us (except when Kolmanic takes them with his left foot), but they’re particularly impotent now.
