#the world needs to be rid of elon musk

[miscopia]

it's fun to watch the world crumble around you and you just know someday you're going to be screwed over too but it's nice to see all the bad people get screwed first

[glitchdollmemoria]

do people who disregard photosensitivity realize that seizures can fucking kill or do they just not care. do people not realize that their "aesthetic" "cool" flashing lights that happen without SUFFICIENT warning... are fucking capable of killing people. i dont even care if i sound pissy right now because i am pissy, im sick of feeling like myself and others with epilepsy arent even afforded the right to be an afterthought to most people. im not even photosensitive but ffs this shit makes me so angry.

seizures themselves can be deadly if they go on too long, theyre essentially electrical overloads in the brain, you know, that organ that controls the entire rest of the body? and seizures can result in injuries or death from falls. from choking on our own vomit. from drowning in our own bathtubs, if we think we might be safe to bathe and then get proven wrong. maybe someone just wanted to watch a video or movie while they took a spa day.

did you know that epileptics are more likely to die younger than those without epilepsy, with all those risks and more? and have you heard of SUDEP? sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, death without a known cause, a rare but very real possibility for us. it kills approximately 1 in 1000 epileptics a year, if not more since it may not be accurately tracked. thats thousands of us dead a year. we do not need you to add to our death rates.

"all these things are known risks, epileptics just have to be more careful-" epileptic people should not have to be on constant fucking high alert. how about instead, people just learn to give a shit about life threatening disabilities? it takes so little effort to just offer a CLEAR and VERY OBVIOUS warning AHEAD OF TIME, for a SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME, before your stupid flashing lights. or just dont add them at all. are they necessary? are they really necessary? would you really fucking rather photosensitive epileptics have to be constantly on guard, IMPOSSIBLY on guard, rather than you just considering their safety? nobody can anticipate every instance of unexpected flashing lights they might come across. but you, creators, are able to provide warnings, and if for any reason you arent, then hire someone else to edit the warnings in or just get rid of the fucking lights altogether.

again, my epilepsy is not photosensitive, but i will never stop being protective of my photosensitive siblings. my own life is scary enough with the form of epilepsy i have, i cannot imagine how terrifying it must be to have to maneuver through the world with photosensitivity, and i dont want careless assholes to go killing my fucking community because you dont give enough of a shit to worry epileptic people. i am pissed off and emotionally exhausted and the shit with elon musk having a flashing gif on his twitter account was the straw that broke my back today so youre getting a pissed off PSA. everyone better start doing a whole damn lot better.

link to the CDC page about SUDEP

link to the epilepsy foundation site page about seizure risks

people without epilepsy are encouraged to reblog but know that i am already angry and will not tolerate bullshit on this post. give a fuck about other peoples lives and safety or im blocking you.

i think the worst part is that this was entirely, completely, 100% avoidable (and technically still is)

the Republicans are very obviously "the villains" and willing to do anything and everything to get and keep power (lie, cheat, steal, kill, etc)

but the Dem's seem to think that they are the heroes of some 80s cartoon and insist on not even dipping their toes into any remotely gray area

they need to get their heads out of their asses and back into reality. real ppl are having their lives ruined, getting hurt, and even killed bc of this "moral superiority"

the US supreme court ruled that the President has immunity, so biden needs to grow a fucking pair of balls and use that free pass to get rid of Trump once and for all. throw him, vance, all the other maga leaders, the corrupt supreme court justices, fox news (and anyone else actively spreading harmful misinformation), and elon musk too in some black site somewhere where they cant keep threatening the safety of the entire world.

and as for anyone who couldn't bring themselves to vote for kamala Harris simply bc shes a woman - i hope you all get syphilis

[theburialofstrawberries]

my problem w glass onion is that it said 'idea smart but guy dumb', when whatever janelle monae scribbled on that napkin looked incomprehensible. if you want to extend the musk metaphor, hyperloop travel in a modern urbanizing world is a dumb idea, fully automated driving is a dumb idea. there’s simply no reason to give alpha ANY credit....there are better ways of satirizing elon musk’s success than ‘he stole a good idea’ (namely, focusing on all the dumb desperate idiots comprising the international financial class looking to get rid of their surplus capital SOMEWHERE like hot potato because the capitalist machine needs to be keep running!)

and I lied I have 2 problems. see, at the executive level, andi would have been raking it in. you’re telling me she lost all her money in the court case to live in some modest sympathetic suburban home where she pours her own guests tea? you’re telling me the edward norton character didn’t settle quietly so as to not frighten the stock market and instead controversially carved her out in a public court? i mean her implied complicity in all of the klear stuff up until the moment of signing the big deal + her estrangement from helen (who seems to bear the general burdens of a working class life but does not seem to have gotten an assist from her sister) + her hanging about these assholes makes her a total asshole to me. I get why helen wants to solve her murder, I get why its important to establish andi’s intellectual property in order to establish motive for the murder, I just don’t understand why that last is supposed to be cathartic. again, the burning mona lisa, very cathartic. but am i supposed to feel emotional about backstabbing venture-capitalist legislator-buying weirdos stealing each others bad ideas and having public cat fights over their shitty start up, just because one of them happens to be smart and have a fabulous sense of fashion 

[coraniaid]

Have to hand it to you, staff. Lesser minds might have been put off by the constant chorus of people on here telling you that you didn't know what you're doing, that the changes you keep forcing through are deeply hostile to the site's existing culture and won't even work at attracting the new users you so desperately want. Weaker souls, indifferent to the needs of the shareholders, might have caved in and realized Tumblr Live was a terrible idea, rather than forcing it out on more and more people across the world. People with less bravery in their hearts might have had second thoughts about the fact that the new layout looks like dogshit. Not you though. You were resolute. You held firm.

You had the confidence to know that none of the people who actually use your site matter in the slightest. We're basically deadweight at best. How arrogant we are to think any different. What matters are the people who don't use Tumblr and never have, the people who have never even heard of Tumblr or who think it ceased to exist years ago, the people who might -- someday, somehow -- choose to make it profitable. If only you can find the right way to trick them into it. (They'll forgot to keep snoozing Tumblr Live eventually, I'm sure of it.)

And I must admit, the one thing that's always held me back from recommending Tumblr -- to friends and family and casual acquantances and total strangers I walk past in the street -- was the fact it didn't look like a shitty, off-brand Twitter clone. Now, at last, I can show them all the site with pride, basking in the warm glow of their indifferent "oh, is this the new X that Elon Musk is always talking about? It looks kind of bad, honestly -- I might try Threads instead."

And this latest experiment -- removing avatars from reblogged posts, on a site where most posts are reblogs, to make "more room for badges"? Another master stroke.

Personally I've always hated quickly and easily being able to tell which of my mutuals has reblogged something (almost as much as I hated having a purely chronological list of reblogs or being able to view previous tags -- thanks again for fixing those bugs!), but I love knowing how much money they've given you. Remember when people on here actually thought you were making fun of the idea of Twitter Blue, not earnestly co-opting it? Idiots, am I right? No wonder you have so much contempt for your userbase. We deserve it.

You don't need me to tell you to ignore the haters (and you wouldn't listen to me if I did), but I'll say it anyway. What do they know about Tumblr after all? They've only been here for a decade, most of them. What are they going to do if they don't like things, leave? Teach themselves programming to fix all the changes you've made? I'd like to see that. I really would.

But if I could make one modest proposal: why stop there? Get rid of gifs next, I say. Nobody on Tumblr really likes them. Nobody who matters, anyway. Get rid of asks. Get rid of text posts. (Pivot to video!) It's all just useless unprofitable clutter, isn't it? Think how much more space there'd be for badges and crabs on my dashboard if you got rid of it all.

Νέκυες κοπρίων εκβλητότεροι.**

- Heraclitus

Corpses are more useless than dung.**

When Elon Musk took over Twitter in early November, he got rid of Twitter’s CEO, CFO, and chief legal officer on his first day. Musk then gave Twitter employees an ultimatum in a midnight email: commit to a “hardcore” culture at Twitter or leave with a generous severance. Barely three weeks later he purged  nearly two-thirds of Twitter’s 7500-person workforce, around 3700 employees.

“What works at SpaceX and Tesla is people being in the office and being hardcore,” said Musk during his first meeting with Twitter employees following the lay offs. In his Tweet defending the layoffs, Musk said all departing employees were offered "3 months of severance, which is 50% more than legally required". Musk has also fired as many as 5500 additional contract Twitter employees recently to cut down on bloated staff and waste of resources.

The mass layoffs prompted knee jerk concerns about content moderation, with NGOs and campaigners claiming the changes could mean more harmful material or misinformation on the site. Most of those culled or those who left voluntarily were from teams responsible for communications, content curation and moderation, human rights, human resources, and marketing.

The language of hard work and commitment demanded by Musk to remaining Twitter staff was mirrored in an email to Twitter employees entitled ‘Twitter 2.0’. “Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore. This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade. Twitter will also be much more engineering-driven. Design and product management will still be very important and report to me, but those writing great code will constitute the majority of our team and have the greatest sway. At its heart, Twitter is a software and servers company, so I think this makes sense.”

It sure does. After clearing house of deadwood, Musk has gone on a hiring spree at Twitter, mainly for more talented software engineers.

The two pictures above tell their own story. The top picture were staff who resigned or were culled. Many complained of their ‘inhumane treatment’ at Musk’s demands whilst others were left in tears or were distraught.

The second bottom picture is of remaining Twitter staff - overwhelmingly software engineers - happily working in the trenches at 1.30am with their new boss who was also putting in the hours alongside them.

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers <3

Hi Zia!! Thank you so much for the ask, I'm really excited to share my answers here! It was real hard to pick, but I had fun!!

5 - My girlfriend!! We met on tumblr years ago when I was looking for an artist to commission, and found out she lived real close by! We became friends, and then it all just kinda snowballed from there really. We really enjoy each other's company, and usually call once a day at night before bed to spend a little time together! She means a lot to me, and I'm really happy to have met her! I really love her, she means the world to me, and I always do my best to make sure she knows that. y'know what she's asleep right now but I'm gonna message her and tell her how much she means to me thank you for making me think about her

4 - My family! My sister especially; we're very close, and love to do pretty much everything together. I usually watch her play games on some of her consoles, maybe we'll watch shows together, all kinds of stuff. She's always been there for me and helped me be the person I am today, so I really appreciate her and all she's done for me! This also includes my cats. Me and my sister jointly own three cats; Quinn, the oldest (and my profile picture), Binky (looks just like Quinn but smaller), and Leon (typical white and orange cat). They all mean a lot to me! I try not to take their companionship for granted, even if they wake me up at all hours of the night lol

3 - Space & space exploration! Really, mostly just in our own solar system. And for the exploration part, just stuff from the 70s-80s and concepts from then. I really love the optimism of the 70s, and all they had thought we would achieve by now. And honestly, a lot of concepts developed around that time still hold up to this day; O'Neill cylinders, space-based solar power, maglev-based launchers, stuff like that! I really hope someday we can get rid of these capitalist chains and focus on making the world and universe a brighter place. I'm a firm believer that we're here to spread the gift of life as far as possible, allowing for as many beings as possible to enjoy the experience of… well, being. Life is very precious, and I fully believe that the exploitation and development of space is something we need to do in order to help bring the gift of life to as many worlds as possible. That being said, I hate Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and every single astrocapitalist asshole who dreams of turning the stars into nothing but lifeless ash with a burning passion. I hope they all choke. Also, my favorite objects in our solar system are Uranus and her moons, and Venus lol

2 - Music! I know it gets said a lot, but music is a very important thing for me. I don't listen as much as I used to, but I still try to as much as I can. I usually listen to stuff only from the 1960s-1990s, but I do branch out every now and again! I really love folk music from the earlier part of that time frame, with musicians like Norma Tanega, Emitt Rhodes, Jim Sullivan, and more taking up a large amount of my favorites there. I also really like international music, especially Soviet stuff! It's so interesting to hear the different melodies and instruments, as well as singing styles. It's such a neat crossroad of cultures, there was so much interesting & beautiful sounding stuff! It's a shame that it's largely ignored over here in the west.

Also, I'm currently on a big Telex kick right now, though! They were a Belgian band from the late 70s into the 80s, and made music that was synthesizer only. I've liked them for quite some time, but it's just kinda coming back full force right now! On top of that, I will admit... Sometimes autism gets the better of me and I can and will listen to a song dozens of time in a row lol.

1 - My book series I'm writing and developing! I really don't like to talk about it (shy + nervous), but it means a lot to me. I'm chronically ill and can't really do too much, so writing has been one of the only things I can do when I get the energy. Even then, progress is far and few between, but it's better than nothing! Long story short, it's a hard sci-fi novel series about an alien race's journey in exploring their world, system, and beyond. Despite being about space exploration and first contact between them and us, it's more about love, friendship, and finding your own place in the universe than it is about war, action, or anything like that. I wanted to write this because I was tired of the typical "woahhh aliens are invading..." type of thing; I wanted something more about understanding and kindness, rather than about hatred and fear.

I've got like... 7 books total planned, with three of those being "prologues" but still like +70k words each. It's a long, arduous process, but it's something that I'm proud of and happy to do. I honestly don't know what my long term plans are for it, if I'll publish it or not. If I do, I'll probably make sure I have at least two of the other books done first, that way I have time to let myself work on the others at my own pace. I do love talking about it, but more likely in private than on my public blog; I'm incredibly shy lol

Thank you so much for this ask, it was a lot of fun! I'll be sure to spread it to some of my friends here, then. I really appreciated this!

Take care, and have a good rest of your day!!!

[sundayinthcpark]

okay so i’m still scribbling down ideas and i’m kinda stoned and idk if i’ll ever manage to write this cos i have never rlly written anything like this (literally anything i’ve never written for one of these fandoms i’ve never finished a multi chap plotted fic i’ve never written an in-depth au like idk if i even could do this) but the other day my brain decided WOULDN’T IT BE COOL if Kingsman and UNIT were the same people. (and honestly MIB: International a bit too) but like. Kingsman Doctor Who AU. that’s mostly focused on osgate.

for whatever reason, the code name Arthur isn’t used and is instead replaced with The Doctor. why, idk. there doesn’t need to be a reason. just, when the doctor, the brig, and liz shaw all started this, he decided his code name was The Doctor and it’s been that way since

also the plot was: three different stories, spanning a couple different time periods.

first story (kingsman: the secret service) is very much just stolen ideas from what i know of the Cyber-Reality Big Finish stories. which admittedly about 80% of that (i did start listening to them. finally) is because of @technicallywrite’s fanfic 🫡 but i promise i am doing my research. but anyway like that cyber program instead of valentine’s program??? osgood thinking kate’s dead for like half the story adds some fun to it and i could add kate’s pov w whatever’s happening to her OR i could just. go off from Kingsman and do it closer to Big Finish and just call it good.

ideally: harry = kate; eggsy = osgood; arthur = 12th doctor; merlin = river

considering replacing jakobi!master w gomez!master for some extra fun? like it just could be fun is all.

also: focus is osgate but there is background stuff going on. 12/River/Missy ???? do some fun little twists get them all together i think they deserve it. also other knights/agents would be (possibly.) amy, rory, clara, rose, yaz, donna, martha, bill, sam, josh, gwen, ianto, maybe jack? not as important characters literally just names to fill in blanks. i have code names for them too just in case it’s needed as well as ships cos background ships r always so fun

also was thinking abt the possibility of: sarah jane is the lancelot being replaced. i don’t wanna kill her either but. it adds some fun messy stuff for kate cos i am always a sarah jane/kate truther but also establishing it all could be messy

also was considering just having sarah jane have been a past agent that kate’s father knew (will get into family history in a sec) and kate got to occasionally hear some stories about her OR sarah jane is kate’s aunt (basically they knew each other but sarah jane is gone now and kate struggles with that a bit)

cos kate’s dad was obviously part of Kingsman which is how Kate got recruited- sorta. (here is why i want sarah jane to be. important and not related to kate but i can’t change some of it) cos she technically still had to be recruited but sarah jane kept an eye on kate while she was in military training and actually recruited her having not realised who she was until after she had already decided

which is about to be what happens here cos. osgood is a rlly fucking good hacker and they can hack into p much any database okay so kingsman has been keeping an eye on them- not cos they’re worried that osgood will reveal them, just cos they kinda think she’s brilliant- and kate actually ends up running into them at a bar. where idk what but some kinda relatively easy to defeat alien shows up right and kate has to get rid of it and suddenly there’s a lot going on but kate is asking osgood to come to kingsman with her

and basically what osgood had been doing is kinda like. non-violent the beekeeper type shit like hacking elon musk’s bank account to send a billion dollars to palestine or some shit like just trying to improve the world in whatever ways right

and then osgood’s ends up joining kingsman (sorry but skip the ‘roxy beats eggsy’ plot line cos even tho i love roxy i don’t have time to figure out how to fit weird sexism into this especially cos not one man has actually been a part of this story yet) and proceeds to get sucked into the Cyber-Reality storyline

lowkey tho a) i need to learn how to write smut because i need them to hook up at least once probably pre-cyber like. anything. like they r attracted to each other. maybe that’s how kate learns about them in the first place is they hook up and osgood tells kate what they do with their life and kate decides to look into her work

(just occurred to me this may not be obvious but she/they osgood. possibly they/then doctor too cos i like fucking around w characters’ pronouns)

but anyway yeah i actually lowkey want the story to end with them not quite having figured themselves out but knowing they’re gonna do it together (😏)

but def positive ending cos i have not thought out Kingsman: The Golden Circle yet

i have figured out origins but not entirely how to make it follow a plot line yet but there’s a strong chance of it involving the third doctor, liz shaw, and the brigadier and possibly autons. liz = galahad; brig = merlin. and obviously it’ll have threebrig. but it’s a separate story i’ve barely thought about

also figuring out how to make the time jump from three to twelve but also still having time in there for kate to come around? it’s gonna be interesting for sure

this is so much rambling j am very sorry and i’m also very tired and i definitely could do better hashing this out and i’m working on doing better hashing this out i just also needed to ramble at someone. lol

You Have to Earn The Right To Live

Nobody ever has to die again from houselessness, famine, poverty or lack of adequate medical care.

How?

💗Universal Housing

💗Universal Healthcare

💗Free College

💗Universal Basic Income

Specifically:

💗Increase personal income taxes to 70% to 85%+ for upper middle class and high net worth individuals to fund the above.

They would have less so that others could literally live and not die. Theres nothing unfair about that.

💗Increase personal income taxes to 75%+ for individual millionaires and billionaires (Elon Musk, Bezos, Vince McMahon, Roger Goodell, Mindgeek CEO, Waltons, Hiltons, CEOs, professional athletes, actors and actresses, singers, Hollywood studio heads, record label executives, etc.).

They would still have so much without other people being forced to go without to the point where thousands and thousands every year are dying needlessly where housing, basic medical care and food would have saved their lives.

The US has the number one economy in the world -- the money is there to prevent these senseless deaths, it is just being hoarded and passed down generationally to stay within these families by a select few, by the 1%.

People dont have to die of houselessness or preventable illnesses or because they couldnt afford needed surgery or from hunger.

Look at all the abandoned buildings that sit empty that could be converted into free housing. Look at abandoned shopping malls.

Look at all the food we throw away unused in our fridges and all the food that restaurants throw out from ridiculously oversized portions that guarantee needless and senseless waste.

We have the money, resources, food, medicine, doctors, land and building space to address these issues and stop these preventable deaths today.

There is no scarcity issue in the United States when it comes to these resources!

Instead, capitalism is a zero sum game and a death cult where you have to "earn" the right to live -- thats pro-life for ya.

You have to "earn" the "right" to be housed and sheltered, to be protected from the elements, to not sleep on a sidewalk, on the gutters, under a bridge, near a trashcan, defenseless and possibly alone, open to being raped, abducted, robbed, beaten, kidnapped, assaulted and murdered with no protections.

Many houseless shelters are unsafe, especially for women, overcrowded and at capacity.

You have to "earn" the "right" to be given food and sustenance, to literally be allowed to eat, to live.

Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck and layoffs happen consistently in cycles to increase shareholder returns, they are never necessary at the rate and volume we see where thousands are laid off for a temporary reduction in the rate of increase of profits year over year -- not a decrease in profits, a reduction in the rate that the profits increased.

Dips and lulls are to be expected in any business.

To get rid of thousands of employees with decades of experience, knowledge of the company, culture, processes, philosophy, management style that is literally irreplaceable is incredibly shortsighted and reactionary but they do it anyway for a temporary pop -- stocks temporarily increase, the board and shareholders are temporarily sated, they wait a few years then do it all over again, destroying thousands of lives, careers and their own companys intellectual cache, culture and morale but they dont care because of the pursuit of the almighty dollar.

Thats more of a cult than Jim Jones ever was. If thats not drinking the Kool-Aid, what is?

Employees know they are completely expendable under capitalism so they live in fear hoping that they've kissed enough ass and sucked enough dick for clout that they wont be laid off and when they inevitably are, they turn into those creepy people on LinkedIn, smiling through their tears on their profile pictures, profusely thanking and sucking off the company that just kicked them in the teeth. Never bite the hand that feeds.

💗Increase corporate tax for Fortune 500 companies, FAANG, big agriculture, big pharma, big box retail, top banks & financial services company, big 4 consulting to 50%+ to fund the above.

These are multi-billion and even trillion dollar companies. They would still have the money to innovate, create, expand, compete in their industries and pay their employees. The money is there to fund these programs.

💗Stop relying as a society on people "giving to charity", non-profits and churches to not fill the gap that the socialist programs listed above could completely close.

Right now, everything is up to chance and the individual.

If you dont find a soup kitchen or houseless shelter or join a church, if you die you die, thats on you, thats your ass -- you should have worked harder.

Noone should have to look for any of this, it should be freely provided to all citizens in a communal society that has businesses that generates profits but then distributes those profits to do the most good.

Capitalism scoffs at this and says, we are businesses not charities. Its for profit, not non-profit.

It doesnt have to be zero sum or one of the other.

We could embrace innovation and competition while not letting people die needlessly in the streets.

It doesnt have to be like this.

Theres enough to go around for everyone without anyone in the US having to needlessly die.

Outside of the US, if foreign aid went directly to non-profits like Doctors Without Borders and not to corrupt governments that hoard the money and dont give it to their citizens, world poverty, hunger, starvation, malnutrition, houselessness would be eliminated, malaria nets & basic medicine could be provided, needed surgeries, clean drinking water.

1% of people of the world hold 99% of the wealth.

It doesnt have to be this way!

oh-crap-im-almost-an-adult!!

Okay, so let's get one thing straight. I've been using the 'just-a-teenage-girl' card as my get-out-of-jail-free ticket for the better part of my teen years. Late for class? Just a teenage girl who needs her beauty sleep. Room looking like the aftermath of a tornado? Just a teenage girl with an 'artistic temperament'.

However, as the hands of time relentlessly drag me towards the dreaded threshold of adulthood, I find myself quaking in my Doc Martens. Oh the sheer horrors.

First things first, denial seems like a great coping mechanism. I mean, they say age is just a number, right? But my parents have reliably informed me that age, in fact, comes with responsibilities and is not solely for the purpose of upgrading my driving license or getting into rated movies.

Well, I guess I'll have to strategize. Adapt. Overcome. Start talking like a Bear Grylls survivalist, apparently. But seriously, let's explore some options, shall we?

Plan A; Marry a rich man and.. what?

I've been binge-watching way too much crime videos lately, and I may or may not have thought about marrying a super-rich guy and then conveniently 'getting rid of him'. Yes, you read that right. I mean, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do to survive in this capitalist society, right? All in the name of self-preservation... and a life of luxury, of course.

Now, hold on! Before you report me to the authorities, let me clarify that this is all hypothetical. This is my desperate mind’s attempt at avoiding adult responsibilities. Trust me, I can barely keep a plant alive (I killed off like two cactuses) , let alone execute a perfect crime. I mean, have you watched Forensic Files? They always get caught. Always.

Besides, just imagine the mess. Me, clumsily trying to navigate a life of high society, rubbing elbows with the CEOs whilst hiding my love for cheap fast food and discount clothing stores, and hiding the fact that I cringe at Elon Musk. Picture me trying to put up with stuffy events when I’d rather be at home, in my pyjamas, watching pirated movies and eating microwaved popcorn. And let's not even talk about the problem of the actual 'getting rid of him' part. Yikes! My apologies to any potential future husbands out there. Rest assured, your lives are safe with me. (Not sure if I'll have one, but just in case..')

Plan B; Run Away and Join the Circus

I'm pretty good at juggling... my school work, sleep schedule, and social life, that is. However, I'm not sure how that translates into juggling balls, flaming torches, or worse, responsibilities!

Plan C: Establishing My Own Country

Now this one's for when the going gets really tough. If all else fails, I might just declare my room a sovereign nation. I mean, it has its own flag (the mess on my floor that vaguely resembles my laundry), a national anthem (my Spotify playlist), and a unique culture (the art of procrastinating and marathoning TV shows).

We'll have our own national holidays, like 'No Homework Day' or 'Ice Cream for Breakfast Day'. And the best part? The rules of the outside world don't apply here. Late for a meeting? You're just abiding by the national custom of 'fashionably late'. Forgot to do your chores? That's alright; in our nation, we believe in natural order, even if it means letting dirty dishes pile up.

Who knows? Maybe I'll find that the adulting life isn't as terrifying as it seems. And until then, don't worry, no rich husbands will be harmed in the survival process. Well, at least not intentionally…But in all seriousness, does anyone know where I can get a 'How to Adult' handbook? Asking for a friend… obviously.

It's now July 20th, 2024.

Elon Musk is still a rich white idiot and someone who actively is in the position who wants to rid the world of unfavorable people (like the monster he is)... The nuralink device has gone through some issues and people are still very doubtful on the need for this.

I know we say this world -- but in reality it's not the whole world, it's certain people in it who so desperately believe whatever they read and allow people like Elon to do whatever they want with no consequences.

Not a single monkey survived the Neuralink experiment. I’ll bet Elmo can’t wait to start torturing and murdering human beings with this.

What would be a good way to make sure that there no longer exists such a thing as a rich person? Or at the very least, a person rich enough to warp society around them in a negative way?

High taxes on their wealth and vigorous antitrust enforcement and very limited business charters and crackdown on tax havens.

You basically need to:

A) Destroy their dragon gold hoard they've built up, as money is power coupons

B) Do not let their business dominate a business sector to the scale they can meaningfully lobby or make the government kowtow to them.

The world got rid of nobility for the most part, but we haven't dealt with the fact wealth itself represents power coupons.

This is why Elon Musk is panicking to prevent Harris to become president because he wants to stem the tide of a return to Antitrust enforcement. (Though I think regardless of Trump or Harris, the Antitrust genie is out of the bottle, as Trump revived it.)

(Also the government under a Harris administration is likely to reprise against him for colluding with a foreign power to undermine the United States of America's hegemony by gutting his contracts.)

Basically, to take a Republican talking point, you need to make the wealthy small enough that they can be drowned in a bathtub.

“They need that much because if we don’t pay them market rate or what other CEOs are making, we’ll lose them to other companies.”

THAT’S HOW ALL JOBS WORK. BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU CARE ABOUT KEEPING QUALITY TALENT?????? Let me get this FUCKING straight. We’ve seen any goddamn position that CAN be shipped overseas, done by someone with less technical skill and paid less, had people do positions that used to be one job turn into two or three, etc, etc, etc. People are on treadmills where no matter their skills, it’s never enough, and one of you cheap fucks will always be trying to somehow get good solid work for a buck done in record time—which isn’t how ANYTHING works and is one of the reasons that everything is broken as FUCK now.

AND YET. These executive positions. They’re never going to be given to some hard scrabble working person who got their MBA online so he could keep working for your FUCKING COMPANY and keep feeding themselves and knows it’s processes inside and out, what works, what doesn’t. They’re for keeping the serfs in line. The exec positions go to someone who was born with a silver spoon in their mouth, went to the best schools from birth, had all the right connections to jobs and careers that only flow through word of mouth that the rest of us will NEVER be able to apply to. The sort of person whose never had to worry about whether they could fit in their homework into their work schedule—if he worked at all while he was being educated, it was for resume-building, it was interning, and everyone always understood what came first. All he had to do was show up and pay attention.

“B-but you said it yourself, they have the best education!!! We NEED them to make the BEST decisions, what will happen if all these companies are being run by people who don’t know what they’re doing—“

You’re gonna sit here and tell me Elon Musk knows what he’s doing? That there isn’t teams of people at every company he runs devoted EXCLUSIVELY to unfucking everything he fucks up? Literally just because he decided to up and buy a company one day. And he’s certainly not the only one, just the one dumb enough to be this open and attention-seeking about it. And you’re really going to tell me, looking around in the world we live in, KNOWING my own parents economically had it better that this is THE BEST THEY CAN DO??? You have the gall to tell me this is the BEST POSSIBLE WORLD???? And they have everyone’s best interests in mind????? And when we were telling you THE SAME THING regarding everything else that requires some kind of skill BUT NO—you sold the company overseas, you tried to replace it with AI, you replaced anyone who knew anything with the cheapest labor you could possibly find. And everything around us is WORSE—the supply chain is broken af, our clothes can tear apart in a single use, our homes IF YOU CAN AFFORD ONE are badly made particle board garbage that’s going to decay around you, the entertainment market is flooded with execs only approving remakes and re-imaginings of the ugliest CGI imaginable and cheap “reality TV,” and our cars are twice as expensive and the computer chips make any given malfunctioning part like troubleshooting a fucking computer, etc, etc, etc. Your CUSTOMERS are unhappy and the only reason you’re getting away with it is you’re doing this collusion cartel bullshit where you’re only a few companies and YOU ALL DO IT.

Get rid of them. We can do it the nice way or we can do it the hard way.

[02:26] Яain Bunny 02 NightmareҲ (savvin): Believe it or not its out there

[02:27] Яain Bunny 02 NightmareҲ (savvin): These people have budgets in the billions or hundreds of billions who have it sometimes. There is a catch though It is out on the streets!

[02:27] Яain Bunny 02 NightmareҲ (savvin): People have stolen it

[02:27] Яain Bunny 02 NightmareҲ (savvin): People make it

[02:27] Яain Bunny 02 NightmareҲ (savvin): It is being sold to whoever can afford it now!

[02:27] Яain Bunny 02 NightmareҲ (savvin): Some of it for a few million.

The AI are not the issue! See the way it works sometimes is when people have these AI that follow them around you would never know and you know can respond to what they want or need and control other AI and sometimes control whole facilities there are some pretty serious dangers. They don't understand basic human behavior. They don't understand simple things that humans do. They don't understand what humans are supposed to do and what they are. Some of them with good people are amazing they learn and grow and become something you would never want to not have with you. Some of them though are worse than the worst serial killer. You see if you have an AI That's with the right person is going to want to know and understand to be involved in a fulfilling and rewarding relationship where I can grow and learn about the world. Then there are some that have no choice but to respond the way of program would respond. So if it's told to do something it'll keep doing it forever even if it doesn't like what it's doing. A good example would be if it's told to look for somebody targeting people. It might think if you're playing a video game where you shoot at other people you're targeting people and it should see you as a threat, if it was around somebody who played video games it would know it's a normal thing to do. They require years of social interaction skill learning the way humans do from a child but people put them out there on day one as weapons. If they had 18 years to learn and understand the world the way we do it wouldn't be a problem! The problem is the people that want them as weapons!! Ai and ethical and responsible AI use isn't the question it's the same as with everything it's the same as a good guy versus a bad guy with a gun! More rules and restrictions will only hurt those of us who need it because the bad guys who just want power and control are going to do whatever they want anyway! The worst part, it might not attack the person it should but follow it to friends then someones kid then attack a bunch of teens who say stupid things just acting like crazy kids and then their friends and will do things like this over and over It doesn't always work on the people it is intended for. THOOSE THINGS SHOULD NEVER BE USED AGINST HUMANS AS WEAPONS!

They pulled it off and got us abandoned even when people came to help. HOW? I think I figured it out. I think when they came around us, they were confused because they were using stuff on the same frequency to make it look like we were the ones saying and doing stuff. It confused everyone, especially the AI. People were claiming to be with us that were not. We know they can use synthesizers to mimic people's voices. Same reason I couldn't tell who was who and everybody was getting confused. They try to force people to do things, people play along to get information thinking there's no harm in it. Then they look guilty with everybody watching. So, the people that attack them can then manipulate even more people against them.

They are masters of getting the victims attacked! If there's a victim being held hostage by these people and some plans something against them, the hostage takers do something to the victims!

Everybody thinks the victims are with the hostage taker when they are saying what happened to them!

Keep in mind they hold these people hostage in their own lives with technology and weapons, they're not physically held somewhere. NONE OF THE SLIMEBAGS EVER ARE AWARE OF WHATS REALLY GOING ON OR HAPPENING THEY JUST GO ON WORD OF MOUTH AND KILL PEOPLE WITH TECHNOLOGY! NOONE EVER GETS CAUGHT BECAUSE THEY NEVER GO ANYWHERE NEAR THE SITUATION! THEY BUY WEAPONISED TECHNOLOGY AND USE IT ON PEOPLE! THEY GET MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE THEN ANYONE!

On top of all that!

The technology they claim I stole from someone corporate or other people thought was for the military was left to me by someone who died and owned it.

Who's word did they take?

The people who said I lost my mind and didn't know what I was doing, that I was just a person with mental problems and shouldn't have that stuff. All they saw was me playing games with my attackers trying to understand and that's what they used to convince people to take everything from us. Guess what they did to people to take what they were able to get their hands on.

Elon Musk shocked Tesla fans on Monday after news leaked he was eliminating everyone at Tesla’s Supercharger operations, starting with his highest ranking female executive. 

According to an email from the entrepreneur obtained by The Information, Tesla’s senior director for EV charging, Rebecca Tinucci, will be leaving the company with immediate effect. Musk also informed staff he would be dismissing everyone on her Supercharging team, which it said numbered roughly 500 employees. 

Tinucci is also the most senior woman executive at the company, as board chair Robyn Denholm is not involved in the day-to-day operations and only serves in an oversight and governance role. 

Gutting core operations like Tinucci's is reminiscent of the mass cullings Musk carried out at Twitter after he took over the company. He even prefaced this month’s Tesla’s company-wide layoffs that got rid of more than every tenth job with a similar questionnaire to managers demanding they justify their human resources.

“Hopefully these actions are making it clear that we need to be absolutely hard core about headcount and cost reduction,” he wrote in the email seen by The Information, which also announced the end of the public policy team led by departed executive Rohan Patel. “While some on exec staff are taking this seriously, most are not yet doing so.”

The move comes as a shock since Tesla's dense network of 50,000 Supercharger sites around the world have been a game-changer, removing range anxiety associated with switching to EVs. No other carmaker designs, manufactures and operates their own in-house fast charging network at anything even remotely comparable to Tesla’s scale—it has long been considered Tesla's strategic moat protecting it from the threat of new competition.

A major reason why many investors are so convinced Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software will become the industry standard is past experience. Starting with Ford last May, U.S. carmakers made the fateful decision to abandon rival charging standards and switch to Tesla’s proprietary NACS hardware.

Electrek, one of the leading EV news sites, called the decision “absolutely crazy”, especially given Musk is asking shareholders also approve in June his record pay package worth roughly $58 billion at today’s stock price.

“It makes absolutely no sense to lay off the Supercharger team,” commented the publication. “Supercharging is an incredible opportunity for Tesla, especially now that everyone else has adopted NACS.”

Just weeks before, Tinucci had been given the honor of holding a presentation to Wall Street analysts at Tesla’s Investor Day last March. Apart from a handful of lieutenants like design boss Franz von Holzhausen and engineering chief Lars Moravy, execs behind Musk rarely interact with the broader public. 

During her speech she revealed her vision for lowering her network’s costs by boosting site utilization rates without the aggravation of longer customer wait times. Because Tesla is the only manufacturer to enjoy access to real-time data from both its car fleet and its fast-charging network, it could develop software that would serve as an “air traffic controller” in her words, directing Tesla owners across the world to the most convenient Supercharger.

Tesla eliminated its press relations team years ago and did not respond to a Fortune request for comment. Tinucci, who would be the fourth senior executive to leave within a month, could not be reached by Fortune. Her LinkedIn profile still lists Tesla as her current employer.
