Elon's companies have been successful despite his input, not because of it. If you're interested, do some reading on how middle-management protected their teams from his nonsense in both Tesla and SpaceX, basically just feeding him bullshit that sounded good and ignoring him whenever possible. Those people are why the companies have thrived.

Shit, just look at Twitter before and after. The valuation difference is staggering.

If calling someone a pussy is misogynist, then calling someone a limp dick is definitely misandrist. Do you know what that word means? You're using a gender-based term in a derogatory way, how else could you possibly describe it?

You could argue that, sure, but their defense of that has already been established and accepted - effectively that the "town square" cannot be liable for the speech of people in it... but if Twitter fully owns all accounts, then the people in the square ARE twitter.

It's literally his middle name?

That's just misandrist instead, isn't it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If X owns all of the accounts, then it sounds like they should be liable for all of the speech from those accounts. I hope people jump on this.

I would expect half of the haptics to go away, tbh. They're much weirder for a handheld because it can affect the screen, which is part of the controller doing haptic things. Add on the extra battery drain and I'll bet we get the adaptive triggers and maybe some mediocre version of vibration.

Her 2018 album hit #8 in 3 different countries 🤷‍♂️ that's neither a decade nor anything remotely akin to failure.

Yeah but what about the AI? Have you thought about the AI that would be running it, which never misses, and would totally be a useful existing thing? 😉

Is a doona a specific type of blanket or just a local term

EDIT: it's Australian for quilt. Now I know!

Interesting, I didn't realize I had that wrong! I thought they were all kind of mini countries, not quite meeting the "standard" bar - thanks for the clarifications!
