In the grand history of the universe, they are already nothing. They just aren't smart enough to realize that.

They cling to the idea that they are gaining immortality via a legacy. Their legacy will mean nothing in a few turns l tend if thousands of years - probably much sooner. They will be forgotten, just like the rest of us. Time is the great equalizer. It's just a shame their shitty, greedy actions cause so much stress and misery to others in the mean time.

It's already bad enough that many American believe that war was started by foreign invaders and that it ended in a resounding victory for the US.

Free with the service: a thrice daily digest of edgy quotes from The Xavior, reasons why He is perfect and completely enlightened, and a plethora of ads for musk-related merchandise and products.

No unsubscription option from this will be available. But that's okay. The cult will gleefully lap all that shit up.

Same as it ever was.

How long before Trump turns on Musk? I'm guessing within 6 months Trump will be feeling threatened by Musk and have kicked him out of his inner circle.

The funny thing is that it's so easy to push Trump into being at odds with his lackeys. You just get enough if a critical mass of chatter on social media saying that the other person is the power behind the throne. And that is guaranteed to get back to Trump and make him feel threatened enough to cast that person out.

The admins will probably reopen it and assign moderation to marketing people from one of the big commercial drone manufacturers. Get ready for a flood of giveaways and lots of ads masquerading as innocent fan posts.

He tried to set himself as the alpha wolf against the Sun when he stared at it during the dollar eclipse several years ago. He had to back off before he went blind because the insolent Sun wouldn't bend to his will. So he already knows it won't respect an executive order.

You ever do something like this? What's your story?

The post text literally asks for stories.

Years ago, I tried giving a homeless guy an unopened chicken sandwich I had just got from Burger King. I got two for the price of one, and I didn't want to eat the other one because I was already pretty full.

So I walked out of the restaurant still holding it, thinking I should find a trash can for it. Then a homeless guy came up to me saying he was so hungry. So I thought "well this kills two birds with one stone!" and offered it to him.

He seemed very unhappy and asked if I had money instead. He took the sandwich begrudgingly. Hmmmmm, it was almost like he was lying about being hungry and actually wanted money to buy drugs or something.

ETA: Tell an honest story in a post that explicitly asks for similar stories. And people get upset. Okay then.

Not sure I totally agree with the article writer. But it provides food for thought.

 

The attempted murderer took issue with the fact that the girl and the rest of her family were Palestinians and speaking in a different language.

 

Interesting article about the struggles two linguists had taking Frank Herbert's eclectic Fremen words and turning them into a working conlang (constructed language) for the new movies.
