This proves the propaganda is working, right? He’s divorced with no sign of a girlfriend, his dating days are over. All he has to show for it is 11 kids, and he can’t just make it "I don’t like wearing a rubber and I’m too important for anyone to make me; it’s “I procreate to help civilization endure.”
Musk doesn’t do anything as boring as have sex with someone to get them pregnant, he uses IVF and gets surrogates pregnant instead. Even when it comes to making more babies he still has to take the most convoluted, tech-bro approach.
I created a thread in mpsims for the phone at home discussion not because the hijack annoys me, but rather because I find the discussion quite interesting and would like to continue it:
https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-carry-your-cell-phone-with-you-at-home/999386
I requested the mods to move the posts discussing cell phones at home over to the MPSims thread. It’s a lot of posts, though, so I’m not sure a mod would be willing to spend that much time on it.
Elmo is now “graciously” giving away free checkmarks to people with a certain number of subscribers.
This promo covers exactly 8 people, including Elmo himself.
That … doesn’t make any sense to me. There’s only 4 accounts with over 5000 subscribers? Or are we taking “verified” subscribers to mean “blue checkmark” subscribers? But the Oliver Alexander post doesn’t do that. None of that makes a lick of sense to me.
Exactly.
That’s not clarified in the Oliver Alexander post. He just mentions “subscribers.” And does Elmo mean blue-checkmark verified subscribers, or is he just being sloppy in his language meaning “verifiable subscribers” or “confirmed subscribers” or something of the sort. Because it seems rather unlikely to me he means blue-checkmark subscribers. Guy’s mad as a hatter, but I just don’t see that.
Hmmm… this new plan for getting free premium seems kind of triangle shaped. Almost like, what’s the word I’m looking for. Oh yeah, pyramid shaped.
Too bad Elmo set the required numbers so high that it affects virtually no one.
ETA: Actually, circle jerk shaped. All everyone with a paid twitter subscription has to do is follow another 2,499 other twitter blue subscribers and get them to follow them back, and Twitter’s revenue stream goes even further in the garbage than it already is.
I think his tweet was poorly worded, but it’s not just following… there is an additional subscription option in Twitter that allows you to pay a monthly fee to be a subscriber to someone. Not everybody is eligible to be subscribed to, but if they are, they have a little purple dude with a plus mark next to their name. If you want to see an example, go to that fuckwit’s account, and you’ll see it over to the right. Click on it, and you’ll see what you get for your four dollars.
So elmo has the perfect solution to the bridge collapse. Now, I’m no engineer or metallurgist, but even I can see some problems here.
Re-use as in re-smelt and re-form? Sure. Cut it apart and weld it into a new bridge as is? FUCK NO! That may be the stupidest thing I’ve heard from Elmo, and that’s saying something.
Well, heck, why not at least take the sections that are still assembled and…
Yeh, no.
Let’s not forget that Elmo offered his assistance in the Tham Luang cave rescue, where 12 members of a Thai football team and their coach were trapped in a cave by floodwaters. Elmo proposed to design and build a submarine to get them out. He apparently believed that he was able to design and build such a vessel almost instantaneously, and offered this assistance with exactly zero knowledge of the situation. It could not possibly have worked even if he had built such a thing in time, and when someone criticized his ludicrous proposal, Elmo accused them of being a pedophile.
Elmo firmly believes that whatever idea oozes out of his ketamine-addled brain must be the best idea in the world.
BRING ON THE BORING COMPANY! I can’t believe Elmo is missing that opportunity. And, and ships should be equipped with yokes, not steering wheels. Had the bridge been built of stainless steel, ships would have just bounced off. (dammit, stop giving him ideas).
Up next, Elmo announces the formation of BridgeX, hires the outgoing CEO of Boeing, Nick Fuentes, and catturd2 to run it, and declares that the new bridge will carry 400 million Hyperloop pods a day and will also be a bank and a dating service (but you have to pass the pencil test to use the dating service).
I assume it will only be a couple of days at most until the two resident Musk sycophants start spamming the board with this idea.
Trolls are sometimes found in mines, and trolls are often under a bridge. Musk is simply combining the two, trolling by undermining a bridge. Efficient!
Lol it was only a couple of hours before one of them came running in, snot streaming down his face, to defend his hero.
Any poor asshole who’s ever tried to straighten a nail to re-use sees the problem immediately.
This is the problem with assholes who grew up with silvers spoons in their mouths.
That wasn’t snot.
so very sorry
