Kirk Johnson is a living legend, a master of craft, more dedicated to a single task than Elon Musk could ever hope to devote one iota of time to; just like anything else he does, including raising children, after nearly a year of being Mr. Twit.
Kirk Johnson is an artist and a pioneer.
Elon Musk posts on (owns Twitter) X

He has more talent in one corpuscle of his gaping anus than Elon has in his entire flabby, hosed-up body.

That's because it's a ghost town.

The stupid idiots tried to mimic the early Facebook days where everyone wanted in, and Elon served them the perfect opportunity to seize on opening it up more widely, but then Threads happened and most average people are going there, if they even still care about that type of social sites at all.

Bluesky is already dead in the water. I have 3 codes but it's really not worth your time. The UI and app are somehow even worse than current Twitter.

Threads has no desktop UI, so it can gently caress right off from the get-go.
I understand that most people doom scroll on their phones, though.
Never mind that threads suspended my account for something. I don't know for what. I created an Insta just to try out threads (didn't want to use my actual instagram) and literally never posted.

Is the duct tape there because:

1. The edges of the panels are very delicate and need protection until the truck is in the customer's hands, or
2. The edges of the panels are very sharp and people around them need protection from the truck.

*delivers to customer, yanks duct tape off the corners revealing razor sharp edges that cut you when you try to open the door or wash the car or just walk near it with your pocket sticking open so it tears your cargo shorts into neat strips*

Yeah why not just build an electric truck that uses the payload for batteries and give it a range of like 1200 miles idiot rear end Elon. He gotta haul his fatass gran-nan around in the back tho.

Some time back thanks to a bunch of lobbying, banks were allowed to offer credit cards across state lines instead of the previous rules that required meeting usury regulations in each state. Banks promptly moved all of their credit card operations to South Dakota while conveniently getting heavily involved in the politics of that state to roll back usury laws and regulations. Within a few years, pretty much anyone getting a credit card would be dealing with the least consumer friendly laws available in the country as a result.

If you (non-specific you, not Kazil) read that and thought that was a good outcome that should be repeated, congratulations you are a dick.

is that the era where jokes about dogs, kids, and dead people getting credit cards came from?

also I wonder if that one bank that does a ton of store credit cards is HQed in SD.
