The only video game I play is Team Fortress 2, anywhere from 10 to 20 hours a week. So I guess I’m a patient gamer since my favorite game is over 6,000 days old.

While it is completely possible musk believes things like this. I still mostly think he just wants to pander to his primary audience and doesn’t mind spreading things he knows aren’t true.

Maybe it doesn’t reach your criteria of a “certain level”, but there’s definitely stories of people winning significant amounts of money in the lottery and being broke years later because they are morons.

Unrelated to the main post but your comment brings up a point I think is important for society to understand. “pedophiles are afraid to seek help.” Pedophilia is a mental disorder and doesn’t inherently mean someone is a criminal, or ever will become one. But because it is such a violent and life destroying term to be labeled as a pedo those who have this mental disorder and are struggling to not offend will never seek the mental help they desperately need, this in turn leads to children being harmed.

Everyone is responsible for their actions, and pedophiles who rape or hurt kids are also responsible for their actions, but society as a whole contributes to more children being harmed by the way we represent and treat the mental disorder.

Such senseless loss of life in the name of religion.

If they’d died in the Saudi heat to a secular activity - at an F1 race event or inside a poorly A/C’d movie theater or trapped on an overheated bus - would that have been better?

Well I think religion is one of the few things you can get enough uneducated/dedicated people to die in the hundreds from heat stroke without people being like"I should probably leave"

All the examples you gave, of course except being trapped on a bus, people would realize there is a serious issue and start leaving once the first handful of people died.

“I’m not leaving the theater till I see the end of Iron man 2, I don’t care that half the theaters dead and I’m next!”

EDIT

the Hajj as a cultural event was originally intended as this class-agnostic unifying practice social event.

lol, weren’t women not allowed to go alone until recently or still?

Hopefully those FOSS projects will gain some sense as discord becomes more shit and will leave. One can hope.

They definitely will, given they have been doing it again over and over

Currently it seems like there were no POWs onboard and this was a false claim by Russia. The story is still developing though, no confirmation either way.

At least I won’t be arrested for wearing a winnie the pooh shirt.

Helping other democracies defeat authoritarian invaders is absolutely worth fucking all of the invaders “affairs”

Not defending Israel but like 50% of gazas population is under 18. So its not very hard to kill a lot of kids, in fact just bomb anywhere and as long as you kill a few people you’ve likely killed some kids.

It is a decent place to live for the rich oligarchs, and they intend to keep it that way.

If you’d like to die from building collapse, or at the best least have your shit apartment literally falling apart in less than a few years

Generally speaking that should be the goal, but I started watching porn when I was pretty young and would do so again if I had to start my life over. It’s up to parents to stop that kind of behavior, not the government.

Generally I think there should be zero regulation on age verification for things like porn and other “adult” content.

It’s the parents job to police their kids, not the state. Any government regulations regarding age verification would likely infringe on our rights.

“If we are capable of financing billions towards violent solutions … why not instead finance billions towards a peaceful resolution?”

Do you want us to spend billions on an ad campaign asking Russia to please stop invading a country? Uh I don’t know if you are history deaf or not but Russia will not stop, unless it is stopped.

Something we Americans should really stick to is the “we don’t negotiate with terrorists” line. Russia is a terrorist state, and they have proven time and time again they cannot be reasoned with.

This is click bait. There is no Russian blockade, they haven’t even tried to blockade Ukraine and probably won’t try to.
