    Elmo is just Miles Bron from Glass Onion. He didn't build or make any of the things he's best known for. He just paid for them. He's an idiot posing as a genius. For all of his wildly successful and groundbreaking ideas, there's a mountain of broken promises and bullshit that's been swept under the rug. Nevermind that he's just straight up dumping wastewater into our fucking waterways.

    One step further - I would not argue that Tesla is a successful company. Sure it's grown a whole shitton and it has a big market cap, but the company is a paper tiger. They make dogshit quality vehicles that automatically kill first responders, and run beta autopilot software on public roads without any sort of oversight. But elmo has been able to pump its value using the same strategies as crypto scams - namely FOMO and straight up lying about what it can do - and has been able to convert that high paper worth into real money with tax-free loans. So apparently that makes him a good businessman or something?

    That's an interesting pair of data points. Much of English is about breaking down rhetorical strategies and language to understand what your counterpart is communicating. The fact that he struggles with that academically and gave up on developing that part of his intellect, squares up cleanly with falling for AM radio shock jock bullshit. The republicans attack on education is a long game to create more uncritical people that will believe whatever most upsets them

    So is it your position that elmos management of Twitter has caused it to grow large and generate wealth? Or are you arguing that since elmo has successfully manipulated the value TSLA, everything else he does is defacto correct?

    Now that you mention it, I could see an SNL segment with Maya Rudolph as Harris doing Hot Ones.... The one she did as Beyonce was pretty good

    yarn's CDN has pretty aggressive user agent filtering. Safari has good privacy controls and so yarn won't load images for agents that they aren't 100% certain are people

    I mean, is it? Boeing recognizes its monopoly status as an aircraft manufacturer, and so they don't have to give a fuck. Who cares if everything is shittier? The shareholders were able to loot for the better part of a decade. Innovation and actual production don't make a shit when you can buy back $43,000,000,000. The buyback has a WAY bigger financial impact for shareholders than actually making anything of value. Why wouldn't the bean counters get that low hanging fruit before doing the horror of spending their own money on innovation? The shareholders MUST receive profits!

    Lulz boeing is borrowing billions trying to break their workers strike, rather than just paying them more. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/15/investing/boeing-cash-crisis/index.html In a regulatory filing early Tuesday, the company announced plans to borrow $10 billion from a consortium of banks. It also separately announced plans to raise $25 billion by selling stock and debt. It sure would be nice if they had tens of billions laying around to pay their workers instead of fight them. They were too busy spending more than seventeen billion dollars on dividends (forty-two per cent of its profits) and an additional forty-three billion dollars on buybacks (a hundred and four per cent of its profits) between 2013 and 2019. These fucking corporate welfare queens. It's too bad that they're not shamed more by so-called business leaders

    Inertial guidance exists because you cannot rely solely on visual data. Same thing as ILS approaches for aviation. He's off his rocker

    You'd think they'd cut it out with the swastikas after getting bitch slapped with a couple hurricanes https://www.newsweek.com/swastika-flags-flown-donald-trump-boat-parade-florida-us-presidential-2042-election-1968426 It's wild how much nazi imagery and rhetoric is in active use by the republican party.

    He does because people are talking about him, and people are talking about him because he gets air time. He's the Kardashians, but fascist

    Despite the explosion in the water, it was a completely successful mission! They landed right on target and did a controlled hover over their spot before dropping into the water, falling over, and exploding. Definitely still have some plasma burn through to solve on the control surface joints to the main body, though

    It's so funny how the fascist fucks keep their bench while the judges trying to protect children from a horrific foster care system get the boot. Must be that much vaunted justice system I hear so much about
