Grab the crowbar at the bottom and attack the enemies on the page

it's almost like all these different regulatory bodies you mentioned don't serve the people, but instead the wealthy

damn, its so strange that a rich guy was able to throw thousands of satellites into space, in a manner that completely changes humanity's relationship to the cosmos, without any meaningful form of public debate or discussion.

even more strange when you consider that the owner of the company is one of the most talked about people on the planet. i wonder how he's able to keep getting away with it.

If only there was a way to access the Internet that didn't require constantly launching space junk into temporary orbit

I hope one day the full story gets told about the tremendous pressure and media scrutiny checo has contended with. Its very strange, there is always some excuse preventing him from getting any positive recognition. Undoubtably, race plays a factor here, even subconsciously.

If he fails to get on the podium, he apparently needs to be fired immediately. When he has a bad qualifying and cleanly overtakes half a dozen cars to finish 2nd, then its entirely the car that’s responsible. and, i guess, also due to his ‘south american’ heritage.

Ironically, due to his inconsistent qualifying, and exceptional racecraft and tire management, he’s one of the more entertaining drivers to watch on raceday.

should go ahead and ban image uploading to lemmy.world, as there is likely a ton of illegal, copyright-violating content that hasn't been stress-tested for fair use.

I see a connection between elon's increasingly 'wacky' persona with the start of the cozy financial relationship he has with saudi arabia. imo, he's serving as a captured asset for oil giants to further their influence and interests in the west, in a similar vein to all the recent acquisitions of popular US/UK sports teams by the middle east.

The 'eccentric' behavior, to me, is 100% intentional. A layer of security is built when your rivals, regulators, and the general public are unable to predict your next move. A 'white noise' is created: for every midnight decision to change your company logo to dogecoin, intentional and sinister actions slip thru, such as the banning of twitter in turkey during their recent elections.

This strategy of wrapping yourself in layers of ambiguity was explored by Adam Curtis in his doc Hypernormalization, describing how this has been the central tactic Putin has used in Russia for decades.

ahh yes, the weekly shifting of the perez expectation goalposts.

 

Criminally underrated, mostly due to releasing the same weekend as Star Wars. Anyone else a fan of this movie?
