Trust me, we’ve talked about it

My front lawn. Every political yard sign results in the candidate losing.

You’re both-sides-ing it. Yeah, helping Israel commit genocide is terrible and evil. Both candidates will continue that, but only one will go way beyond that and be a grifting, racist, misogynist, lying, evil piece of shit. Hell, he’ll most likely support a genocide over there AND over here. The fact that you can’t understand that is why you’re being downvoted.

I didn’t know this was a thing… I’ll look into that setting, thanks.

Xbox series X. I couldn’t sign in to my profile, so the game wouldn’t load because I bought it electronically and it’s tied to my user. I sent them a little love letter for that.

Let’s all hold our breath, shall we?

I couldn’t play Baldur’s Gate 3, a single-player game, when my internet went out. That pissed me right off.

Fair question. I meant the most recent one, which is supposedly a purpose-built machine. Other times it was just “you’ll be able to make your Tesla earn money for you by driving around by itself”. This time I expect them to trot out some cyber-looking box with no motor, break a couple windows, and claim it’ll be on the street in a month.

Gray’s Sports Almanac

Having been a disciple, I mostly agree. In this case, the cult got a lot of shit done and the result (advancing electrification of cars) has been a major net positive for society. I got my Model 3 over 6 years ago, having been in the line to plunk $1000 down to reserve the car sight-unseen.

When I saw how long the line was, I immediately ran home and bought as many shares as I could. I have always treated Tesla as two entities: the company who produces the car and is the personality cult, and the stock which takes advantage of that. I grew disillusioned with Elon a few years ago, but I kept the stock because I saw the trend.

That trend is over now. It’s a shame, because Elon of 2010 is so different from the one now. He was far from perfect, but he and I desired the same future. Now, not so much.

I sold the rest of my shares when the robotaxi was announced. Any FSD owner knows that’s laughable. The stock was in a slump and this boost was my cue to exit, stage left. The company has completely lost its way and is now a piggy bank for a fascist. I couldn’t in good conscience keep this company in my portfolio.

It’s gonna sting come tax time, but that means Tesla has made me a lot of money. Thanks Tesla, we had a great thing going but you will collapse under your hubris.

I took part of my proceeds and Yolo’d it at Rivian. Like Tesla years ago, it’s a diluted stock for a company with a good bit of cash, in a battle against time to produce a mass-market desirable car. They seem to have that with the R2 (I have a reservation) and I hope they can pull off the insanely difficult task of scaling successfully. The stock will either go to the moon or zero. The bet has much more upside than downside in my opinion. Also, their CEO hasn’t turned fully evil (yet).

Well, yes and no. The shadow browser could randomize its signature and purge temp files in each load, or something like that. Or maybe even reverse-engineer the expected payload structure from major advertisers and send garbage back to them.

The estimated release dates listed in this are a total joke. Some even claim “summer 2024” and aren’t close to existing. They’re still talking about Faraday Future, for fuck’s sake. Garbage article full of exaggerations and awful speculation.

Never thought “SharkFucker420” would advocate the use of THC.

You win. Give this man the $10000.

And yet quaint in retrospect

I forgot they changed the free tier to a trial. They used to have a free tier. Maybe they will again at some point.

I sincerely doubt that. It would piss off the regular subscribers. Is the free tier too restrictive? I feel like I could never go back now that I have a subscription.

“Muh heritage” (of racism)

I need to start using “are you a bad enough dude” more in casual conversation.
