Couple pages back but I'm curious what specific law is being broken here?

online safety bill, currently being rushed through because the UK government likes money. You can see here the many many ways musk is hosed, they even did videos for the right wing base: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/a-guide...2waArIfEALw_wcB


Lot of MPs stood up and screamed "think of the children!" after the child bullying/suicide statistics came out, but it's really because MPs don't like being told to go gently caress themselves by randoms on the internet. We also have incredibly draconian polices of getting ISPs to block not only websites but any workaround to getting on those websites and that can happen in half an hour if it goes on the big list of pirate bay proxies and links to foreign newspaper articles about MPs with a UK gag order on them.

"Rees Mogg" sounds like a late medieval term for an obscure and unidentified venereal disease. Or maybe an intestinal condition that only sailors got. "One of the less-appreciated reasons for the failure of English sea power in the Hundred Years War was the recurrent appearance of reesmogg among Henry VI's sailors."

Hey man, sorry
Let me make a effort to be short clear and concise.

1) Elon musk is bad man. Thunderf00t and common sense sceptic have hours of videos explaining Elons Lies.

1.5) Elon musk ≠ telsa. pointing out the "good" telsa has done in the EV space (which is really the work of the people elon hired) is not defending him.

2.) applying morality to consumption ether of goods or media doesnt work because all consumption is immoral.

3) When making a purchase decision, should the morality of the people involved with the product be a factor?

example I will not buy jewelry because of blood diamonds. it isnt moral. So me not buying my wife jewerly was not me being cheap it was me being moral!

Telling someone not to buy a car outside of the merits of the car and their use case, but on the merits of the companies CEO/Jack rear end seems weird. Unless you wanna go down the road of moral frameworks and consumption, which again just leads to all consumption is bad.

As for my tweaker friend. I m honestly impressed anything got him to move to a more greenway of thinking. But I can see how my point gets lost.

...The "Cultural Marxism is a cancer" Thunderf00t? "Common sense skeptics"?

Uh, I don't think I need "classical liberal" right wing fascist assholes to tell me Elon Musk sucks thanks

Hahaha the red trucknuts reminded me back in the day my dad was driving a red Toyota Yaris, so one Christmas we gifted him a pair of bright red truck nuts. He drove around everywhere shamelessly with these nuts hanging off his car, including his church.

His boss got increasingly irritated over the course of a month, and finally called dad into his office. This is a doctors office, the boss guy is like a political, careerist type doc.

"What is THAT hanging on your car?" (car and nuts are visible from his window)
"A ballsack."
"Why would you put that on your car?"
"My kids put it on there, I thought it was cute."

So the Yaris got neutered.
