Us trans people truly have the ability to melt the minds of middle-aged white people.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 10 months ago

this ability is so strong they forget what pronouns even are

[–] [email protected] 47 points 10 months ago

That’s my second most favourite trait of trans people.

My most favourite is that they are people living their truth.

Spoiler alert: It was his heart.

Grimes either doesn't really have a problem with what Musk says or she's a complete fucking idiot who had 3 kids with a man she knows to be a piece of shit.

He's a malignant narcissist. It takes a long time to escape that kind of programing. Being in a relationship like that is basically like being in a cult.

Money probably helps too.

His personality probably changed when he started taking all the drugs.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He's always been a spoiled heir with massive wealth from apartheid and blood gems

How good could his personality ever have been, truly

He shared pictures of her c+section against her will, is that drug behavior or asshole behavior? You decide!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What the hell. Why would you ever do something like that?

Or when he stopped taking specific drugs

I get the impression she has very little "real world" experience, particularly with people.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

I watched my mom go through a lot of bad relationships and thought the exact same thing.

Sometimes people can't get out. Sometimes they don't think they want to, until something finally gets through to them.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

I don't blame her. You can't help who you love. It is really sad, though.

Why single out pronouns. Let's all pile some hate on adverbs and prepositions while we're at it. Ffs as if people wanting to be addressed using different language is something worth thinking about when there's literally a climate catastrophe that will kill billions on the way.

But no, it's the Pride people who are wrong. Smdh.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can we also declare war on collective nouns? I hate them all with a blaze of passion.

Just saying... Shit just got real

[–] superduperenigma 49 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

You know what? I'm just gonna say it: nouns suck.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago

everything sucks. we all suck. (but we suck on different things)

Prepositions are fine, they're definitely something you can end sentences with.

[–] BluesF 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And conjunctions are a great way to start

Oh, adverbs is a noun

[–] [email protected] 46 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

he does not refer to anyone as he is too self-obsessed for that

edit: narcissism is a mental illness, i'm sorry if i offended anyone. when i made the comment i thought i could use it as a way of saying he's self-obsessed, and knowing very little about mental illnesses i didnt even know NPD was a thing. if the term self-obsessed is also bad, please give me ideas for what i should change the word into

[–] [email protected] 46 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Elon Musk enjoys Elon Musk’s name so much that Elon Musk has no pronouns. You may only refer to Elon Musk as Elon Musk.

"I don't have pronouns. Please do not refer to me."

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Narcissism has been used to refer to very toxic personality traits since forever, and you can use the word to describe an asshole who is a narcissist. A patient with NPD is someone who accepts that those traits are negative and is trying to outgrow them, which is definitely not all narcissistic people.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago

Oh, okay. Calling it a typo just seemed too easy. I thought I was missing something.

This can't be real, right? Isn't that his wife?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

She was his wife at the time but they've since divorced

[–] TheControlled 12 points 10 months ago

So is this screencap is old. But she called her then-husband out in public like that? Lol. Too bad it didn't seem to help.

Everyone has fumbled a relationship with someone who feels like the once in a lifetime hottie. Please just go to therapy and meditate for a few my a day.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

in fairness to elon musk pronouns do suck. call me by my first name only

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And yet you refer to yourself by pronouns multiple times in that very comment.

Yea but you'll always need them. I think having too many sucks to keep track of, but other than that I don't care for them

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yea but [AVincentinSpace]'ll always need them. I think having too many sucks to keep track of, but other than that I don't care for them

Fixed that for you by respecting AVincentinSpace's preferred (lack of) pronouns.
