It'll result in Musk's douchebag billionaire buddies not getting the extra tax scrutiny. It's a feature not a bug.

These dipshits can't get their thumbs out of each other's butts long enough to get their story straight. I'd laugh if I thought there would be any real consequences for this nonsense.

Only 46 months to go...

He's in a really unique position in that he can claim to not remember doing something awful, and most likely be telling the truth.

No don't hurt me!

Hahaha, thank you. To anyone wondering, I deleted the automatic updater out of the Wine directory and that has fixed the crashing, and I've given up on the driver for my USB to HDMI adapter and I'm going to just use VGA.

I knew there would be some growing pains, but I'm mostly surprised at how much stuff just works out of the gate, and how relatively easy it's been.

I just installed Mint on my gaming TV table. I'm currently struggling to install a driver that works with my displaylink adapter. I'm also having an issue with my VTT (Arkenforge) where it fails to update and crashes.

Oh I'm not disagreeing with you there. In this case, they were being brought in as a defendant for a wrongful death case. The probably realized there was some potential PR damage from considering invoking the Disney+ terms (rightfully so, fuck them), but I'm sure they weighed that against the liability of the wrongful death suit.

In the case of the video, I'd be surprised if they went after Robert, because I don't see them gaining more from this case than they would lose in publicity. I could be wrong though, perhaps we'll see!

Getting into a legal battle with an immensely popular YouTuber would probably cost them a lot more in bad publicity than they would reasonably make from a lawsuit. I guarantee someone at Disney is doing or already has done the calculations.

I fucking can't with the news anymore. Holy shit.

The "move fast and break things" mantra of silicon valley is bad enough when you aren't talking about breaking a goddamn nuclear reactor.

It's chilling that this article is from October and basically lays out how the overthrow of democracy would take place - exactly what's been happening since then.

The speed at which we're descending into the dark enlightenment period is beyond alarming.

In September of last year, the podcast Behind the Bastards did a two part series on right wing blogger Curtis Yarvin, his connections to Peter Theil, and his influence on JD Vance. I highly recommend these episodes for anyone who wants to know where this is all headed.

Yarvin has, for years, pushed the notion of RAGE (retire all government employees), and his dark enlightenment movement centers on dismantling democracy and installing a neo-feudalistic system of government in which oligarchs rule as kings.

This is not some crazy new proposal that will be ignored by the people in power. This is the endgame. The oligarchs and right wing fascists Trump has surrounded himself with have been pushing this for years, just waiting for their moment.

If you don't think this is a big deal, then you probably won't realize until it's too late.
