This is the exact reason that I deleted my Reddit account and am back over here

[–] [email protected] 11 points 13 hours ago

Yeah, spreading hate, fake news and tearing down a government is fine, discussing who is behind this is against their policy due to "doxing and supporting violence".

Remember what Aaron died for?? Spez has become everything that man stood against.

Fuck spez. Fuck censorship. Fuck corps.

Why is everyone bending over for Elon? He can go outside and play hide and go fuck him self with Trumps mums thalidomide filled lead based dildo.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

He needs to climb into a bunker and follow his leader

[–] [email protected] 8 points 15 hours ago

Well he's both the richest man on earth and prime minister-ish of the home country of these platforms.

I agree he doesn't say a lot of meaningful things but it would be a mistake to think he doesn't have power.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, come play outside, Elon, come play with, me, he, he, he

[–] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago

Eeeeloooon... Come out to play-ay!

Elon Musk, free speech absolutist.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 19 hours ago

We’ve been mishearing him, it’s fee speech absolutist.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran for unrelated reasons.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Musk’s team of youngsters, as first reported by WIRED on Sunday, is Akash Bobba, 21, a student at the University of California, Berkeley; Edward Coristine, 19, a student at Northeastern University in Boston; and Ethan Shaotran, 22, who said in September he was a senior at Harvard.

The ones who actually have degrees, or at least have left college, are: Luke Farritor, 23, who attended the University of Nebraska without graduating; Gautier Cole Killian, a 24-year-old who attended McGill University; and Gavin Kliger, a 25-year-old who attended Berkeley;

Chad Loder. What a name!

If you want to know who really is in charge, just look at who you're not allowed to criticize.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 day ago (4 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

I mean, the phrase was made because they're pussies who can't handle criticism of their speech. In this use the "not able to crtisize" is literally having your ability to speak shut down.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 day ago

And I'm using it against a literal neonazi. Seems fair to me.

[–] Arghblarg 38 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Interesting fact, thanks.

As they say though, even a broken clock can be right twice a day

Use of a phrase doesn't automatically imply agreement with its originator.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Broken clock as speed isn't right or offset? Doesn't seem to work

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

I've always heard the saying as "a stopped clock."

[–] [email protected] 10 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

For the phrase, "broken" specifically means "stopped", and the clock is analog. If the hands don't turn, then they will be correct twice per day.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Thanks makes more sense! Idk why the downvotes... Because in the case of an offset it would always be wrong and in the case of a speed change.

In the general case, with clock speed a and offset b:

  • a x + b ≡ x (mod 12)
  • a x + b = x + 12k

If a=1, normal speed with offset,

  • b = 12k ≡ 0 (mod 12)

So it works for any multiple of 12h offset (ie no offset)

If a≠1,

  • x = (12k - b)/(a-1)

It isn't always in a day, so you can end up having to wait multiple days for it to be right

Even a stopped Nazi clock is right twice a day.

I hereby claim that the law was broken! Arrest Elon!

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Have you donated 7+ figures to Donnie? Maybe sprinkle in some leveraging the social media platform you own to help spread propaganda? How concerned are you with the cost of eggs?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

Seven figures? Try nine. Musk spent an absolutely staggering amount getting Trump elected.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 23 hours ago

Elon has demanded control.

I remember that sub and the blackpeople one being absolutely vile cesspits, but if they're trying to kill elon or any doge members I can get behind that.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Crazy that subreddits that revolve around blatant public racism could be so awful!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Enemy of my enemy...

President Musk is a parasite

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This is why I think it's important to stoop to their level and start spreading childish rumors about them.

✔️ Not inciting violence

✔️ Not illegal

✔️ Not significant enough for them to claim defamation

✔️ Makes them far too angry for how petty it is on account of their extremely low emotional intelligence

For example: JD Vance only eats the cat food part of lucky charms pass it on

Another example: JD Vance says he's sorry after cumming pass it on

Just one more for good measure: JD Vance puts his cast iron in the dishwasher pass it on

[–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

Not to start a rumour, but is it illegal to ask if Musk might be a pedophile?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

The guy certainly doesn't mind cp on his site

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Many people say so. I don't know. Edit: the second bit, not the illegal bit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago

In theory, asking isn't illegal and truth is a defense against charges of slander and I wouldn't be surprised to learn his desire for domination extends to children. In practice, you're probably a few billion short of laws to apply.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You don't have to spread rumors. The Truth is scandalous enough. The cult will cult.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

JD Vance cums in his lucky charms and shares it with his cat
