Surprised nobody tounge in cheek said this already, maybe it's too obvious?

Ask an AI.

White, republican, yet was still found not guilty by a jury?! :O

Elons character arc from a PR point of view is really interesting.

At one point I bet many of his current followers were loudly critical of him for Tesla disrupting the ICE vehicle industry. At that point he was seen as much more progressive.

But his mask has now been removed to show the opportunistic business man he is with very little moral standards. Becoming the enemy of many that had previously fallen for his PR, including me.

In my head he really seems like a comic book character.

My comment specifically states that killing him wasn't the optimal solution here, so I can't see how that's your intrepretation of it.

That's my interpretation of it because you're basically saying that because he was breaking the law (maybe you're saying that it's because he was breaking specific laws), it's justified that he was shot and killed.

Whether you want to pussyfoot around the distinction between him deserving it and it being justified is beside the point from my perspective because I don't believe he did deserve it or that it was justified.

Seems like we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

Literally everyone acts like im some sort of evil disgusting monster and stays as far away from me as possible

The bit anon left out is that this is how everyone treats him everyday, sick or not.

Neither the article, or anything mentioned in these comments is claiming the victim's 'innocence'. They are however making the point that EVEN if you do all of those things you shouldn't expect to be shot and killed.

Your comment sounds equivalent of claiming girls that dress provocatively deserve to be raped. It just isn't the point. The point is that he should not have been killed.

Yeah mixture of both, wouldn't you agree?

Sometimes you can get far by just being lucky.

Sometimes you can get far by just working hard.

You're most likely to get far by working hard and being lucky.

You can still not get anywhere even when you work hard.


Strong economies create more opportunities which means your luck factor doesn't have to be as high.

Thanks. Shame it's increasing but 58EUR is still pretty good value, no?

Do you have a link to the increase? I did hear about it but everything I see online just says it's extended in to 2024.

If that belief held, based on Ukraine's statistics, it would be permanent rain now and for the next century or so.

Meaning the last 6 years of his career there were on starfield, which he wasn't a manager of, if he quit 3 years ago.

This feels like a standard toxic gaming community thread where dismissing someone's achievements is for some reason fair game.

Dude held a job at a huge publisher for 14 years, then quit and developed his own thing.

Good on him!

 

Is anyone else noticing a lot of repeated posts in their feeds recently?

Almost each time I go through my subscribed, local, or all feeds I am now seeing the same post from the same community multiple times.

I'm using 'last 6 hours' as a filter if that helps.
