His edgy memes pissed of the left. The right began to like him because he wanted free speech, so he cemented that avenue of popularity by going for Trump, which wasn't against his business interests. But then he defended work immigration which pissed off the audience he had been cultivating. Ultimately, his political shenanigans haven't ended up increasing his overall popularity, which seems to be his goal since everything public he has ever done can be explained by the motive of staying fresh and relevant in people's minds. Thus, he's done with the political game for the time being. He will probably attempt to regain credibility as serious space business tycoon that does exciting new space things that NASA can't.

Another theory is that he's ensured that cheap immigrant workers will continue to be available despite the new government and that he's already done what he can to minimize regulations for his space company.

Elon Musk is in it for himself, either for the success of his space dream or the aggrandizement of his name in the public's mind. He's not a hero and he's not admirable.

None of these are videogames. They're very short animations. I see no challenges based on consistent rules.

Insultingly sensational title.

Yep. They don't care about restrictions worsening their product if it increases the costs and liabilities of potential new competitors. Regulation crystalizes the big players in their positions.

The bone structure tells us this was a male.

Michaelmas term lately over

This was the only part I didn't understand. but it's honestly not difficult. What the hell.

Edit- apparently Michaelmas refers to the Feast of Saint Michael and All Angels.

Star Wars worked only in the first trilogy, where Jedi were monks with mysterious wisdom. Give them political power and the setting unravels into moral greyness. The pulpy origins of the franchise can't withstand that kind of scrutiny.

Star wars today is less good vs evil and more realpolitik between sides. The only reason the empire is evil is because they add scenes of unreasonable cruelty to try and force that perspective.

His maps of meaning and the personality lectures he uploaded to youtube were very good. His 12 rules for life book was also pretty good.

Sadly, people online seem to mostly remember the things he spewed on twitter after that. It saddens me to see him vilified, or for him to say embarrassing things outside his competence.

I live in Spain and I've never seen that. Slices parallel to bone, always.

Tr*mp has shamelessly bragged openly about stealing the election."

Is that even true?

Also, if you click the link you'll find that you'd have been able to predict her stance from her face.

It's not presented that way and she doesn't see it that way.

I doubt it would make thing worse. It's true that underlying issues should be addressed.

I never played TES aside from skyrim. Is morrowind a better game than oblivion?

Never watched Black Mirror. Was afraid it'd be one of those shows that leave you depressed.

It's rare nowadays to find anyone in this site that gives Christianity a fair assessment. There was a time were I'd read good words which had to be written by true Christians, but not anymore. They've left this place and it gets angrier by the year for it.
