Mac Miller - Donald Trump

This was written back in the days that Trump was used as a synonym for “rich” without further context.

It, uh… it hits a little different now.

R.I.P. Mac, I’m glad you didn’t have to defend this later in life.

It is, yes.

I’m an auto mechanic, honestly like 80% of the things I touch every day could kill most things if applied properly.

Thinking about reach and convenience from my toolbox, I’m thinking the 5’ steel prybar (effectively a 10 lb baseball bat with a sharp tip) or the cv axle I took out earlier. Honorable mention to one of a variety of possible chemical attacks or just straight up dropping a car on it.

I cast “stab wounds”

We need a spy on Weibo to come report back to us here

I don’t keep a spray bottle around but I do keep some canned air (electronics duster) on my desk and that pretty much accomplishes the same thing without making anyone damp

A loud PSHHT sound and some harmless wind is a good analogue for “No” and he seems to get it

A little of this. A lot more of, truck manufacturers are now either uninterested or incapable of making vehicles that exist inside of legal emissions restrictions, so they blow up the wheelbase to class it up to SUV class. The bigger the vehicle the less restrictive emissions laws are.

Local speech to text has been easy to do for at least a decade and then you’re just firing off a text file to HQ to add keywords to a user file. These days an AI will likely parse the text to find recommendable products, ten years ago you’d have just had a gigantic list of all your partners’ brand names and desired key trigger phrases in a database and run the conversation text against the database and look for matches. Super easy to accomplish. Updating someone’s ad preferences 15-30 minutes after they talk about a product may as well be considered real time.

I think you and I might have different definitions of “convincingly”

If they’re practicing proper Read Only Fridays then we won’t hear about it from them

Right. So it told you objectively wrong information while the correct answer is freely available from technical documents that it ought to know how to read.

So imagine if that was something actually life threatening.

Chad move, honestly, including your lawyer on the group chat you’re using to break federal data security law.

This meme pretty much defined “chuffed” for me and I think about it every time I hear the word

Find me a person who doesn’t know who Elon Musk is, go ahead, I’ll wait.

You could always shop the verified checkmark. Now you can just buy one that marks you as “verified” at the source. That’s the real problem.

Nowadays? Yeah y’all missed the bus. The time to do something about this was several years ago, when Tesla’s atrocious build quality was becoming publicly apparent and Musk was inserting himself into every news story in the worst ways possible.

“Pedo guy” comment in 2018 was the first major wake up call to most people who weren’t paying attention.

Acquisition of Twitter in 2022, and the major fuckery involved with that, should have rung the bell for anyone left behind.

At either of those times you still could have sold a Tesla to a Maga chud and still come out on top. Now you’re just stuck holding a bag. And my concern for said bag holders is relatively minor because people who really can’t afford a car are still driving 20 year old Hondas and Toyotas and Buicks. If you bought a Tesla new (and yes, it was bought new, because a used market did not exist at the time) you have car money. Buy an $8k beater, used, like the rest of us do.

It started out as ha-ha-funny-number because my college roommates kept setting the thermostat there to be funny but then it just become a comfortable temperature to exist at

No. No, it really wasn’t. I wasn’t socially aware enough at the time to think to throw the match. But to be fair I didn’t expect my dad to pull such an ultimate rage quit.

It sounds like it’s a directed microwave cooker. Works on people too, just not ones behind good cover.

Edit: ah, high frequency, my bad, it’s a gamma gun. Same principles apply I think, give or take the cover.
