He is measurably, scientifically, clinically and demonstrably the smartest person in any room anywhere. He can tell you the square root of your Amex card number at a glance. He can tell you, I don’t know – the square root of zinc. quote:But self-driving cars will kill people!

Pepe Silvia Browne posted:the anti-CRT stuff basically amounts to "we should only teach students the good things America did" which is really the position they should start from but they can't admit that America ever did anything bad in the first place so they're in a pickle Conservatives don't like CRT because they understand that anyone who actually pays attention to the history of race in America will inevitably realize we did not do nearly enough war crimes to the South and its supporters after the civil war

Pretty sure some start-up tried to this not so long ago and pretty much immediately failed. I read an article mocking them. edit: Also, Elon really, really wants that sweet bank info from people.

Can you imagine having a mass of sycophants with such intense but sincere delusions about you? I feel like it'd drive you to megalomania even if you weren't inclined in that direction

really struggling to see how this would work Just a Twitter interstitial telling you to pay up before continuing? people can just copy+paste the URL or Google it though some form of detecting Twitter referrals on site? definitely more than one click and offloads the e-commerce portion to the site on-site Twitter overlay? that'd need api access, enjoy paying $10000 lol

Between Elon, the API sub, the credit card company, and the processor taking a cut we're talking about what? $5/article minimum to make it worthwhile for big media companies?
