Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

there’s also the part where all too often stans go “waaaaaah you can’t be mean [to my hero] just about a photo, that’s not fair!!” and it’s generally not good to let that shit slide either

I wonder if the esteemed poster would say the same thing about all the coverage of musk’s bumbling fuckery that also use photos which show him at all the times he didn’t have the situation pre-cultivated to capitalize on it and send a lying image

Also that person created their account 14 hours ago and has been posting continuously, like where do they find the time to do stuff like this? EDIT: It's also hilarious that they responded to someone actually being demeaned for their appearance like half an hour before coming here. That totally makes you the good guy standing up for these injustices.

Someone I know died, so I've been off of work and literally doing nothing. Any more questions about me asshole?

Also, found the bullying asshole that wants to justify being a pos!

Sorry for your loss. Me too, fwiw.

Sorry for your loss too. I'm still numb but no longer hysterical. Lemmy takes the pain away a bit.

I really don't like Musk primarily because of his treatment of trans people, but it would be nice in which we didn't have a culture in which making fun of people's appearances was something that was acceptable in certain situations, because everyone will always think their bullying is the acceptable exception because... (it's funny/appropriate/deserved/etc).

i am not saying it's bad to use terrible photos of Musk that don't put him in the best light possible, because no one should aggrandize him.
