> Musk just showed it there. That's circular reasoning. So no. The rest is just smearing me in this weirdly stilted way that seems to go with this territory.

Same difference. What makes non-cis men special that they required specific exclusion from that sentence?

Can you show me someone doing that at a funeral? Because as a German I'm telling you, you can say about your heart whatever you want, if you do that on anything but a right-wing extremist funeral without other witnesses, you're in

It's safer to not ingest any poison. You don't extinguish fire with gasoline because kerosene might be worse. You don't eat rat poison because fentanyl would be worse. It's a false dichotomy.

If someone clicks on "click here to update your password" in a phishing email, are they choosing what actually happens, or what they thought would happen? Even if they should have known, and could have known, I think it's o

I don't know about the third parties getting in on it, I guess that's just milking what can be milked (which also makes videos longer); but I can totally see why Path of Exile players keep making memes about it. Imagine someone sa

Musk is too ignorant of it to support or not support "Nazi Germany", flat out. But he's constantly boosting actual Neo-Nazis, agreeing with the white replacement stuff, endorsed the AfD -- again, without knowing what that mea
