the hot new trend is “guard posting”
As sketchy as the oceangate submarine was… you can bet your ass every single one of musky’s endeavors would look just as sketchy if it wasn’t for the fact that he’s forced to work with government regulators.
Hell, most of his projects are this sketchy if you look a bit closer. For example: the tesla tunnels.
No fire suppression system, no emergency exits, no emergency lighting, no way for EMS to get through, no fucking nothing. I am pretty sure it’s not even big enough to open the car’s doors.
Or the Cybertruck that’s a deathtrap for both the people on the outside and the people on the inside because it utterly disregards the last 50 or so years of advancements in car safety technology such as crumple zones or safety glass
Or the tesla model 3 where you can’t even open the back doors without power. So if you’re in an accident and lose power… good luck getting your kids out of the back, especially when the huge battery is turning into a huge, unextinguishable flamethrower.
Or the fucking starship launchpad that was utterly destroyed by the rocket and threw huge concrete chunks and other debris around for miles… which, incidentally, also destroyed the rocket.
That’s what all these self-proclaimed Silicon Valley tech bro geniuses are like.
They all think they know better than everyone else, and that rules or consequences don’t apply to them, and they see safety as little more than an afterthought.
It’s why Ai and social media algorithms are used sooooo ethically. It’s why amazon and facebook try to find out everything about you and happily sell that data with no disregard for what it could be used for.
It’s about damn time one of these CEO dipshits got killed by their own dipshitery, I just wish it had been musk or bezos instead…
Once again, in conclusion:
Good morning Mr. Jigsaw I noticed that this trap has a time limit of 60 minutes but as per my accommodations through the school Center of Disability Resources I get time and a half on exams and quizzes is that still something I can apply to this game right now? Thank you for understanding have a nice day

I’m willing to be convinced otherwise by strong evidence to the contrary (and I mean population-wide evidence, not some scare story your moral entrepreneur of choice dug up), but as far as I can tell the whole “sexual predators haunting bathrooms” thing is basically at the level of “scary Ethnic men in dark alleys”: lurid and emotionally resonant, but having very little to do with the facts about sexual violence. Most rape in the US and western Europe (I don’t know as much about statistics elsewhere) is committed by an acquaintance of the victim. It’s not Mr. Bubbles infiltrating precious women’s bathroom spaces (to quote one particularly redolent anon of Ozy’s), it’s your creepy uncle. Your pastor. Your coach. Those are the actually dangerous people most of the time, if the numbers are to be believed.

it’s true, and I’m glad an industry veteran with a large platform is saying it
“let people enjoy things” is for when someone is actually trying to stop you from enjoying things. if you post about a game i hate, and i were to say “youre wrong, it sucks because xyz”, thats a “let people enjoy things” moment. i came into your house while you were having dinner and tracked mud all over your living room. i am in the wrong. if i make a post about how much i hate a game, im in my fuckin living room. you need to mind your own business. telling me “let people enjoy things” on my own damn post is like if you were walking past my house, heard something that made you mad, and crawled in through my window to argue with me. gimme some fuckin space, im allowed to talk. keep walkin past
