I had assumed these threads had also became a one-stop place to discuss all the recent Musk missteps and self wealth destruction? Btw Elon has just driven Tesla stock 10% lower last week. He's become a human slomo train wreck. Far and away the funnest money burner weve seen in ages, how long can he keep this up? Im pulling for you Elon, I fully support your quest to become a ordinary millionaire again, just continue on your current path and you will achieve it.

DireWolfSpirit Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Of course the bean counters were gonna bean count in advance of any settlement ramifications. That is the only altar the Fox-ites worship at, loss of journalistic integrity, credibility and standing, long since sacrificed at said altar.

No. That's not a topic, that's a vibe. If people want to broaden the topic, within sensible bounds, that's fine. It can include other Musk stuff (except SpaceX, which is covered in another topic) or other social media news (not random Twitter posts people find amusing) or things that closely related to the original subject. But unless we want GC to be basically a mess of interchangeable threads where you can post whatever you feel like, we're going to ask for folks to have a clear topic with some boundaries, and stick to it. It's been that way for the history of the board, which at this point is decades, if you all want to feel old. Ran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 In the last two days I have been called “Nerdy” several times on Twitter. I am “nerdy” so it’s a pretty weak insult to me. However, 1) who thinks “nerdy” is an insult and 2) who uses “nerdy” as an insult and isn’t in Middle School? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be honest never even heard that used as insult in middle school. I think that may be thing older people assume is still a hard insult for younger people.

Varysblackfyre321 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 A maxim I’ve learned is this—the right(generally not always) think since they like a art piece of art it must be agree with their politics or the artist must be intending a viewpoint they find agreeable. The left(generally not always) think since a piece of art disagrees with their politics must be bad and disliked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
