isnt Tesla such a lovely company/car that China couldnt even do its usually thing of of studying the company before kicking them out and releasing their own version ?

They already have a very competitive domestic budget EV company with BYD which is probably why Tesla is struggling to gain foothold there (also their models don't seem to be piece of poo poo jalopies with questionable design choices). I don't think Elon has much of a cult following in China either.

To be fair there's a lot of movies where that's the only way to get any entertainment from them. Also closer to what their run time should of been.

What's a hole doing in my TARDIS?


Even the most rambling and digressive books can be interesting in that they reveal quite a bit about the author. Some of the most memorable or endearing moments in all literature have been WTF moments that would be completely lost in a summary. Of course, Elon knows that his only chance at not coming across as sweaty, desperate and repulsive is in bone-dry, bullet point form

Sometimes it's brain breaking to take a step back and see just how off the wall loving bananas political commentary has gotten in the last 10 years. Part of me is envious of the folks who go off to live off the grid in the hills

Apparently South Korea is somehow even worse than America for this culture war stuff which is loving bananas to even think about as well. Like how could it be any more aggressive and all consuming in places like Seoul?

And similarly there's also stuff filled with corporate jargon and fluff that only really contains one or two points of any interest anyway and would of saved everyone a lot of time if it had just been written in a few lines of dot points in the first place.

On the other hand there's science and philosophy writings where how it gets to any conclusions and the discussions about it is almost as important as the conclusions themselves.

Also yeah I figured they'd somehow blame the bridge collapse, which is pretty well documented how it all happened (Ships crew lost control of the ship due to power failures, did everything they could try to warn people about a possible imminent collision with the bridge and unfortunately it crashed into a support pillar collapsing basically the whole bridge in one go as seen in the video), on wokeness now like they do every single crisis. SVB collapsing was also somehow wokeness as is ever major disaster of some sort now.

In the 90s/early 2000s films always portrayed the NSA as a level above the CIA, doing the super shady off-books poo poo, domestic hitmen and all that fun stuff. So yeah let's blame them again.

Has he never wished a book kept going? Wanted to know what happened next? Does he have no curiosity at all?

I’m pretty sure it’s a No to all three. Richest man in the world, could task people to summarise books for him or to research anything he was interested in or wanted to understand, but he’s too busy reading tweeter and posting one word replies to think about anything else.

I remember a debate on this very message board about whether or not Trump ever looked at any of the classified space alien stuff or if he has so little curiosity about the world outside of himself that he just wasn't interested in any of it. the consensus was that he did not.

He might of briefly skimmed them just to check that if aliens existed they had mentioned him by name.

He was a race-IQ obsessive who ditched his original account (A New Radical Centrism) to make one even more outwardly racist called MonitoringBias which he rebranded to i/o and dialed back the explicit racism about 5 percent.

“I dreamed I saw my maternal grandmother sitting by the bank of a swimming pool, that was also a river. [...] Her genital region was exposed, dimly; it had the appearance of a thick mat of hair. She was stroking herself, absent-mindedly. She walked over to me, with a handful of pubic hair, compacted into something resembling a large artist’s paint-brush. She pushed this at my face. I raised my arm, several times, to deflect her hand; finally, unwilling to hurt her, or interfere with her any farther, I let her have her way. She stroked my face with the brush, gently, and said, like a child, “isn’t it soft?” I looked at her ruined face and said, “yes, Grandma, it’s soft.”
