yeah I'm pretty sure that wildly successful Daft Punk 2007 tour was all prerecorded and the only thing that really changed from one show to the next was adjustment of the highs middles and lows. kinda lame but hey it ruled so

Remember that the musk strategy to poker is to go all in then buy new chips so he will just have to buy more free speech in this scenario

Sometimes I look in on the r/elonmusk reddit, and they have been doing a lot of cheerleading in the last week over Elon's fight for "free speech" in Brazil. Can't wait for them all to immediately drop the subject entirely and pretend like this never happened, while anyone else who brings this up gets an automatic ban.

still bothered by Elon's use of "namespace" in that above screenshot, like anyone who's done any programming knows "namespace" is an actual term that means something. comp sci poo poo is the one thing this guy's supposed to be good at but all the evidence points to him being a huge dumbass there as well. like when he first bought Twitter and said poo poo like "oh this is easy to fix, we just need to rebuild the full stack".....ooooh sounds very smart unless you're familiar at all with what he's trying to say. people love to give him the benefit of the doubt because he's awkward and dorky, they think he's like Sheldon from Bing Bang Theory, but take it from someone who played Magic the Gathering for 15 years: those people can be absolute morons as well. sometimes they have emerald mines and government contracts though

Yeah it's always a bit disconcerting when you're listening to someone who you've been deferring to as a supposed subject matter expert and then they say some word that makes you just prick up your ears, like "wait, did he just say ...?" Because to a layperson it slips right past but if you know the actual field it's an immediate marker that he has no idea what he's talking about and is just bullshitting and blowing smoke in front of the money people.

It's not even only about technical fields (though that's where I've seen it most often), but like if someone says "he's a five star chef" and you're like — wait that is not a thing, that is not how stars work

Yeah this sell off isn't even anywhere near as server as that one was. Going from 303 to 113 in in three months.

But it's lost about 9% in two days so it could easily catch up!

Someone here said it best: he’s like Malcolm gladwell where it sounds convincing if you don’t know anything about the topic, but if you do you’re like “wow this is all wrong and only superficially seems intelligent”

Yeah, I don't think there's an automatic trigger, someone has to make the decision to do it. And they won't because it's related to Twitter debt, which the banks have been trying to unload for over a year now.

If they made a margin call on it, they'd be lucky to get pennies on the dollar.

You see they conspired to make COVID deadly, but they failed, but they still acted as though it was deadly. Also it was independently invented by Fauci personally, by China, and by Hunter Biden who each worked independently but also as part of a conspiracy
