Lol

The chess board exists in a mere two dimensions, a match is but an inconsequential blip barely noticeable by my consciousness. I tire of these mortal fancies

i'm surprised elon replied to that tweet with the embedded video. kasparov quickly and clearly explains why musk's plan of giving into all of russia's demands is not in america's interests and will just lead to even bigger problems. now a bunch more people are going to watch it. guess he can't help himself.

So Musk just spends all day doing coke right? Like that is the only way I can reconcile his behavior in his public and private lives, as well as his business decisions.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

You know how everyone bought one of those mini NES/SNES/Genesis consoles, played with them for an hour, spent 6 hours cramming ROMs onto them, then just left them in a closet or something?

Same idea

A game that's considered a timeless classic, a game people spend their entire lives studying and mastering, a game that enjoys worldwide recognition and respect, and playing which is a synonym for being smart and sophisticated.

A flavor of the month mobile game.

he tried to show off how good of a dad he was by bringing his toddler along to dinner with a reporter, but it was at a fancy restaurant so he just left the kid in the car the entire time

In the financial times interview he did to try to reframe his recent blunders into carefully planned big-brain masterstrokes, he brought X AE12 along with him. And mentioned how much he enjoys this new kid.

And then left the kid in the car while he went in with the reporter to eat dinner.


He seems to only like them when they're young enough to have no opinions or independent thoughts of their own.

Like most boomers, Elon doesn't actually like kids but was forced to have them anyway because it's his "duty" to do so.

seems obvious that this guy does not hire or recruit in tech.

there totally are weirdos out there who want to work insanely hard on something (“climb a mountain”). they are 22, with minimal experience, and none of them work at twitter. they work at bullshit private companies we have never heard of, and you couldn’t persuade them to work at twitter no matter what.

plus you wouldn’t want to: their skillset is totally different from the skillset you need to run a massive website. the weirdos can crank out a rickety tech demo by working 25 hours a day, but twitter doesn’t need that. twitter’s last new feature was changing the shape of user icons if the icon was an NFT. that took 20 minutes to program and 750 person-years to design, test, review, document, and deploy. the weirdos don’t know how to do any of that and they don’t want to learn.

Hey where do I get one of these jobs for people who work 25 hours on a rickty tech demo?

Kowloon Long City makes me think of Dubai Airport. If you've never been there, every terminal is near identical, from the stores, to the arrangement of decor to the fish in the fishtanks. Just duplicated microcosms of consumerism.

To be fair you probably can’t if you have like 10 acknowledged children and probably twenty unacknowledged bastards running around and you don’t spend time with any of them.

Polytopia is pretty fun Civilization-lite game. It’s actually been around for a few years and must have enough of a following because the developer still puts out updates. The game itself is free and then you pay $1-3 for different tribes, some of which have have special powers.

It’s pretty funny that Musk calls out an 8x8 grid, because Polytopia’s standard game world is only 16x16.

This has that "shut up and stick to playing football / acting" vibe that chuds were all about whenever anyone commented on politics that the chuds identified with. Musk is completely blind to the fact that this same phrase and energy can be applied to his unqualified rear end, especially against someone who actually attempted to run in Russian politics in direct opposition of Putin and eventually fled Russia to save himself.

I mean, I enjoy the fact that Musk's main habit seems to be self-ownage, but his creepy fans all take his quips as absolutely truth and it's obnoxious as gently caress.

He took his kids to see the Pope in that orchestrated twitter post, coinciding with the others posts with Musk talking about how people need to make more white babies.

It's embarrassing that Musk tweets like a dude brand new to a message board in 2002.

"Chess? Ah yes, I've heard of it. Quite a boring ordeal, imo. Anyway, have you heard of a show called cowboy bebop?"
