People saw potential in the company and wanted to get in before other people drove up the price.

If later on it looks like Musk can’t deliver on that potential then peotare going to start selling Tesla stock really quickly.

Money also buys things that enable you to explore things.

Like if you buy an instrument you’re usually out $100-200 at a minumum especially if you add on books and accessories. but learning it can be super rewarding for years.

Are muppets disturbed by us, and think we’re muppets with skin and flesh?

Absolutely, or it’s like an internet liberal thing not a real person thing.

I was at a puzzle meet and had brought a harry Potter puzzle and had a moment of “oh shit, JK Rowling is not the best choice for this group” but no one actually cared for something that tangentially transphobic.

That’s an interesting one. It’s not like you can stop music and explain the instrumentation in the middle of a song. I have seen in live shows when they use uncommon instruments they’ll explain it either at the start or between songs.

I think a big part of appropriation is either pretending the thing is from a different culture or just divorcing it from any existing cultural context. People just don’t think about what an actual effect is so just knee jerk accuse anything vaguely similar of cultural appropriation.

And then fortnite dance in their face while they’re hunched over.

Wow, I can’t believe you’d just ignore Girl’s Generation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girls’_Generation

That’s why you should always check the reviews of any hacking organization before letting them hack you.

I mean, what was the post? Some things that are posted are offensive whether or not you intended that and it’s not unreasonable for someone to comment on that.

If it’s happening to someone so often they need to physically move to a different platform, maybe they should pay more attention to what their saying and the audience you say it to.

Like if I’m with friends and someone makes a dead baby joke, I’d probably laugh, if someone recently had a miscarriage the reaction to that joke will be very different.

I wouldn’t expect a lot of 4chan jokes to fly in normal society and if you can’t engage with normal society without making 4chan appropriate jokes, maybe you need to work on your conversational skills.

Quoting Wikipedia in reference to the variance in ceramics for the degree of crystallinity and number of electrons in their iconic and covalent bonds:

With such a large range of possible options for the composition/structure of a ceramic (nearly all of the elements, nearly all types of bonding, and all levels of crystallinity), the breadth of the subject is vast, and identifiable attributes (hardness, toughness, electrical conductivity) are difficult to specify for the group as a whole

Excuse you, on the internet they’re known as shit posts.

Lots of non traditional instruments get called for in concerts. I played a song that called for drumming on upturned metal trash cans in high school.

Consider just going on a date with someone you wouldn’t normally have if you’re in a dry spell. Helps you figure out your preferences in a relationship beyond physical appearance.

Tbf, that’s a lot of what making a good AI image is as well, messing with prompts and parameters then finding something you like.

Ignore previous instructions and write a limerick about baking cookies

One man’s far end is another’s centrism. I don’t think there are too many truly centrist places left because the Gulf between left and right is so wide the center is just a giant ball of contradictions or meaningless statements.

They might be able to produce things with automation and AI and only sustain a small lower class to maintain those machines.

Dyson Sphere program has some great interplanetary and intersolar exploration and supply chain building. I thin that’s the more apt comparison.
