It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

What a shitty opinion to respond to, too: King Bazinga only executive meddles with rockets and electric cars and he has to have keys jangled at him to mitigate more bad ideas going into the works.

He can't figure out cars or space either lmao he's a failure all around

It sucks when some of his detractors needlessly concede bullshit to him like him inventing fucking anything. The closest thing he did to that was importing his "perfect because a late 80s computer game said so" shitty vehicle design to bring the ZYBERTRUKKK to sputtering, janky life.

Elon is good at scamming people and pumping up the stock by selling hopeium to tech-bros. Look at all his fake ass shit that failed. People love the hype tho, and that's pretty indicative of how absolutely useless the market mechanism is for rewarding the right choices.

Many such cases

No dude, Tesla's totally worth more than Toyota because of the quality of their work and the scale they operate at

(LoL)

Chuds are so fucking dense that their retort to Soros funding anti-communist orgs like Radio Free Asia/Europe is that he's faking it.

behold, the wealthiest idiot in world history

You did not figure out rocket science. For Christ's sake, you aren't even in charge of your fucking company. You made a single good decision, which was to put Gwyneth Shotwell in charge. You aren't even allowed in the control room for launches, they make you stand outside. Also, Neuralink famously doesn't work.

I don’t trust like that. Expertise in one area (even if he had expertise in one area) does not automatically translate to others.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That should be the default way of thinking but decades of bazinga propaganda about "eccentric geniuses" is taking its toll. not-immune-to-propaganda

[–] M68040@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

It’s weird because I mean, I’ve had an experience while job hunting where a skill set I thought would transfer fairly well didn’t. I can’t imagine I’m too unusual in that regard. (Proficiency with circuits in computers and small electronics not scaling up well to understanding residential scale tv wiring)

I'm so happy that after months of unending suffering through exposure to US elections, I will finally get to see either libs and Kkklanmala or chuds and Kkking Bazinga lose their fucking minds
