I’ve never met anyone like that in person, but some people genuinely believe it.

I’m just hoping we can sort things out before it gets as bad as Nazi Germany was. Maybe I’m being overly optimistic, but having a defeatist attitude certainly won’t help our chances.

Honestly we were screwed long before now, but yes. Its going to be a slow decline into fascism until we collectively wise up. I do think there’s a real possibility of that happening, but its going to take a lot of work.

He didn’t create PayPal. He co-founded x.com, and was replaced as ceo for being inexperienced in less than a year. x.com later merged with confinity, which operated PayPal. It was at this point that musk returned as CEO, until he got kicked out again in 2000.

That is true, but hamas has a far better reason to be an asshole. If I were in their situation, I wouldn’t be the most agreeable person either. My hope is that if their impending doom is eliminated, their more problematic behavior would go with it.

Dan Hentschel is a prolific satirist.

I don’t want to be the guy defending cops, but there is usually more than one officer in a squad car. There is no rule against a passenger being distracted.
