  • This is reminding me of Al Capone. Having alcohol wasn’t yet illegal, but selling it WAS illegal.

    So he would load up his truck with barrels of alcohol, set to be properly disposed of at their destination by officials.

    But wouldn’t you know it? The truck was intercepted by theifs, who robbed the truck at gunpoint. So now Capone “didn’t have” that alcohol anymore.

    Well what was happening was those theifs, unbeknown to the officials, ALSO worked for Capone. So now that alcohol was unaccounted for, and able to be sold on the black market without oversight or regulation.

    Now replace Capone with Musk. Replace alcohol with personal data. Replace the mobsters with a shadow company also paid by musk.

    So now, your data can be stolen, and sold to the highest bidder, free of oversight or regulation on the black market.

    And if anyone questions it, musk can feign ignorance. See? See? It even happens to my own services! Why would I attack X, if I own X?






  • I saw my first tesla a few weeks ago. I was walking in a target parking lot, and it passed by me to get to the other end of the parking lot, which is a strip mall.

    I felt it was my civic duty to go laugh at what I THOUGHT was going to be a 50 year old white guy with a red hat. I was going to go walk up to him, point, and laugh. Calling him a pussy free loser for driving that car.

    I was not prepared for what happened next. I see the car circling around, like it can’t find a spot, even though 90% of the strip mall was empty. Finally, he pulls up right next to the spot I was standing near. I was like “ooooooh, here we go!”

    Door opens on the passenger, and 3 little Asian kids get out. Followed by an Asian woman in her 30s. Then the driver side opens. And a blind Asian man gets out.

    Now what the fuck am I supposed to do??? I’m still trying to figure out if/how he was driving. I’m not saying being blind is a coverall for shitty behavior like driving a tesla…but I just couldn’t bring myself to call a blind guy a pussy free loser in front of his wife and kids.

    NONE of it makes sense. And I feel dumber for having experienced my first tesla.

    Seriously though, does ANYONE have any context for how a blind man with seeing stick can drive a car? It’s been driving me crazy, because I know what I saw…I just can’t explain what I saw.








  • It saddens me that this is either meant to remind people of the way things were, or it teaches them a world they never knew.

    1995 me would have been excited to see what crazy stuff is on the 2025 internet. 2025 me realizes it’s just a digital version of a carnival scam. Hot singles in your area is just the ring toss game. Give them your money, and then you lose.

    The 90s were just factually a better time. Biggest controversy about our president at that time was that our president got blowjobs.
