Yeah baby
Elon Musk is something of a walking contradiction
That is what is called a hypocrite.
It's not hypocrisy if you're just manipulating people.
Definitely. A walking contradiction would be a person in a hardcore biker gang that's into being a sub, or anything else that seems inconsequentially paradoxical. A hypocrite contradicts themselves on important matters.
The sky is blue, not blue-ish.
Well, to be pedantic about it, that actually depends on the weather conditions, time, place etc., and the eyesight, color perception, as well as language, of whoever is observing it (or those who unfortunately can nazi) [buh-dum-tsh]
We could say instead, that the sky is the sky (many weirdly seem to think the sky is the limit, but no, I'm prettttty sure, it's the sky)
This adds a lot of confusion, so maybe we should let go of the analogies and just state it directly instead...
ish?
I kinda just assumed this was a Sinclair owned tv station, as that would make sense why they fired her, but apparently it's not.
Every mainstream media outlet is scared of retribution because they're all part of giant conglomerates that can be investigated etc out of revenge.
This is the time where you'll seperate the real journalists from the slop that passes as news from mainstream outlets.
Absolutely infuriating.
