A Bad Poster posted:He's just a giant computer nerd who made some good bets during the dot com boom, so now just because he has a bunch of money, people feel obligated to listen to him. Even worse: He's a child of people who benefited from gem farming under Apartheid and comes from a family of racists, his racist brother is on the Tesla board. He's also so bad that the C level suite at Tesla has a higher turnover rate than some call centers. SpaceX is largely successful because Musk is kept at arms length away from the engineering decision process.

M_Gargantua posted:I find it hard to believe anybody would write up a legal contract for assassination. I find it equally dumb that two idiots from texas would think to get that in writing. Well, you look at them, then you remember that most Merc companies are nutcase morons, and then you remember who is likely fronting that money, also nutcase morons. And then there's the ex-CIA moron in charge of the State Department who comes from a legacy of poorly run CIA operations... And then it clicks.

I don't think the CIA was involved. However, I don't think its any coincidence that this is the same company that handles Trump's security. I guarantee Trump told Pompeo to use them somehow. Remember: Pompeo was championing some sort of op in Venezuela, I suspect this was it. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 21:08 on May 5, 2020 |

The Bellingcat article is great: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2020/05/05/the-invasion-of-venezuela-brought-to-you-by-silvercorp-usa/ quote:When he was pressed by Poleo to explain why launching an amphibious operation across open waters instead of attempting to infiltrate via the border with Colombia, Goudreau replied: These people are god damned morons.

Pryor on Fire posted:OK what is the name for Poe's law but for the endless string of "LOOK you'll never believe what the OTHER SIDE is up to now!" because there are like 20 of them a day and they are all fake as hell and designed to get eyes and stop sharing this nonsense. You must not live in the US, or you'd be a little more up to date on just how incredibly petty and stupid the MAGA crowd/QAnon crowd really is. From the team that brought you: Asbestos isn't that bad/Clean Coal/Food Regs are anti-capitalism/Injection Bleach and Sunshine/etc. Why would it be a huge leap to these idiots tempting basic gun safety to prove they are badasses.

Lemniscate Blue posted:Dick Cheney thought war was a net positive for Dick Cheney and gave zero shits about humankind as a whole. I wouldn't be suprised at all if he feels it benefits humanity as a whole as well. A lot of the people that benefit from US military escapades are doing it for selfish reasons, yes, but its not difficult to believe they feel this benefits the country as a whole as well.

Woofer posted:My favorite Tesla tidbit that maybe they’ve fixed is that if the battery dies you can’t open the car door from the outside. They had some guys burn to death inside the previous model, now the inside door handles have two stops, an electric release first then a mechanical if you pull further.

It’s had its moments and they’ve had some interesting content but it’s pretty clear to me that Evans is the only one of the hosts who really has the journalistic and analytical chops to carry the podcast; when he’s out of his element then sometimes I do feel like he slides into nihilism. I like Well There's Your Problem, by our resident goon.

Bored As gently caress posted:Don't know the background or have any information besides the video, but it's likely they were either waiting for a supervisor, or someone with a taser (not all officers carry them), or just more officers. They approach suspects in teams of four or more - one officer with a taser, another with a lethal weapon (rifle or pistol), one with his cuffs out, and one with nothing in his hands ready to assist the officer with the cuffs. They get involved because our justice system justifies murdering blacks. This much force for rolling a stop sign is laughable.
