What is up with rich techbros being obsessed with the meme community? I remember when Palmer Luckey, or whatever his name is, left his lucrative billion dollar Oculus company to focus on making an anti-Hilary Clinton meme farm.

They're all in the exact demographic where they read a thinkpiece about Metal Gear Solid 2 and thought "yeah it didn't work in the game and the game is fiction but clearly MEMES are POWER and I'M going to be the one to RULE THE WORLD WITH THEM (because I spend half my day looking at memes already)!"

DMV is totally fine in my state, filled out a form online to renew my license, then went in and waited like 15 minutes for my number to be called while I sat on my phone, 15 minutes later I'm out the door. I must live in a competent state.

That reminds me, I'm in NY and when I moved back here from NJ in 2008, NJ to NY they do a thing where if your license is in good standing you can provide a birth certificate+some other stuff and just exchange them without having to do all the paper work. It ended up being a little more convoluted than I just described and the wait time was long but hey it worked.

When it was time to renew they've been letting me do it completely online for increments of several years, and have let me do that since. The system is pretty cool, the only thing you have to submit to them online is the info for whoever examined your eyes most recently. So I'm good until 2029.

Anyway it's interesting because I forget from when I renewed it last, but I think in 2029 I'll be past an age cut off they mentioned where you do have to go in in person so I'm sort of curious to see if the DMV is the same stereotypical thing here it had been for me ages ago. The amount of time they let me renew it for online has always been long enough that the rules for it have been a little different each time.

I have to wonder if Musk actually knew about Zuck’s obsession with MMA before running his mouth off like he did? This seems exactly like the Halli situation where he talks huge before realising the person he’s insulting is significantly more competent than he is.

Like Zuck is younger, fitter and way more dedicated to MMA than he is, the only way Musk is going to beat any dodging allegations is by actually fighting Zuck.

For sure, I figure he just assumed Zuck also being a billionaire social media owner was in the exact same physical condition as him? Like someone mentioned with hiw he dealt with Halli.

Musk sees himself as a flawless genius so he just uses himself as the baseline for what an expert in any field must be like.

"They were running it by advertisers, who didn't like it, but it's happening." Well that's one way to sum up a lot of the changes over the last few months.

Some of his decisions have kind of made sense, but this one and the block one are just....baffling. At least some of his early changes had the backing of idiot tech enthusiasts and chuds. These ones however seem to please literally no one but Musk himself.

Edit: Yeah, it literally is just him:

Any word on this?

Cybertruck will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes and even seas that aren’t too choppy.


I still think about this claim a lot. Like it was already completely ridiculous bullshit since day one, but now that we see videos where the Cybertruck can't like, go up a four inch edge without ramps and multiple people assisting it? :laffo: River banks, lake beds, the bottoms of lakes and rivers, all surfaces renowned for being very level and smooth, the Cybertruck will definitely have no trouble with those.

I am hoping some Musk fanboy actually goes for it though.


That reminds me wasn't there a goon that was so angry about their car because they somehow interpreted it being waterproof and really well sealed or whatever to mean that they could drive through a foot of water with it.

Please make sure to talk about it on X, the everything app.

Has Tesla ever stated why it feels it needs to reinvent the door?

For the Tesla itself IIRC it was from when Musk wanted it to be able to withstand biological warfare attacks so the windows go up through the door into the car frame in a really stupid way or something like that and it fucks everything else up.

Hasn't there been AI porn of her for a while, though?

And I didn't think you could put porn on X? Or can you, now that it's not Twitter, freedom of speech, etc.

There's always been a lot of adult content on Twitter amd AI porn of celebrities has been a thing for awhile, so it is odd. Did whoever was making/posting those try to pass them off as real or something to actually get charged for it?

I'm pretty sure AI porn of celebrities has been a chargeable offense since about two weeks after it first appeared. Enforcement has no chance whatsoever of keeping up with the tsunami, but if anyone has the means to actually crack down on it, it's Taylor Swift.

Oh yeah that makes sense, I'm just underestimating the dedication of her fans being vocal about it/etc. to the point where the actual celebrity does something.

What's an impression

The definition compared to views is views is how much someone interacts with some content as in like, you watch an entire ad, you click play on a movie movie clip, look on the replies to see the replies to a thread. Basically you engaging in some way with content once it's on your screen. Impressions is it appearing on your screen at all for X amount of time. Like if you an ad comes up on YouTube and you immediately skip it, it's not a view, but it's an impression because YouTube made you watch the first five seconds (the time to make it an "impression" and not just a view varies from site to site/where the ads are coming from/whatever, i.e,. they make it up).

It's why it's used very often for Twitter because basically, like, did you scroll down past several posts that had a lot of replies for 50 seconds and then close the app? That's like 2,000 impressions baby!!!

It makes X even sadder because the numbers they post are never particularly great, and you know those are already bullshitted and bot-influenced.

I thought that was for Rebirth and it was a day one patch. My backlog of games(including Remake) is insane.

When did gamers get so whiny and bitchy? More like lamers, am I right?

It seems like they did actually update Remake to match this, but it's also so that they both match the flashback look of the character in one of the other FF games that had the more extensive flashbacks first?
