> Because we live in patriarchal culture

It's crazy how often this is used to justify awful behavior.

At what point do you have to define and actually prove the existence of "patriarchal culture"?

What is the alternative?

Or are you just for creating classes of people that just can't be critiqued in any circumstance?

This kind of sounds like, 'Wont anyone think of the grifters?!'

This is a stretch.

Someone makes an uneducated point but it must be defended because Musk bad...

Do you think you're making a good point here?

First two points are pretty much the same and ignore all nuance.

Third point is opinion, at best.

Forth point; couldn't this be said about any politician?

Fifth point; So you're saying that no outside group is capable of auditing.

I'll stop there. You've drank the koolaid.

Propaganda is a powerful tool.

I don't understand this...

Do you just get offended by anything American?

So, you're saying he has had no successes?

This is working tech. You should examine your biases.

Hopefully they'll replace them with people who'll make firefox better.

This is a sexist statement

This isn't an answer to the question.

Smug responses like this just means you don't actually have a point.

> Regulation routinely reduces cost.

This is just plain wrong. Outside of monopolies (very few cases) regulations increase cost.

Now, there are things more important than cost but that is a different argument

Because activists can talk about nothing else.

It's annoying, not terrifying

Are you doing all the work?

Or will you be able to give these plans to a plumber, mason, roofer, ... and have their questions answered?

Building plans are generally pretty simple but there's a designer (engineer or architect) that backs them up (and gets sued if something goes wrong)

Why is your hate boner relevant here? It's fine if you want to be irrational but why shout it out?

Europe does something but America is to blame.

:eyeroll:

What about flight distance? Cargo capacity? Navigation ability?...

Veering off topic to culture war nonsense. Nice!

The important thing is you feel smug.

This is based on nothing but 'america bad'.

Do you think this makes you look smart?

> pickup trucks are always brought up as the problem

Don't you know the outgroup is bad and the cause of our problems? /s

And they wonder why people in flyover states dislike them.

This is pseudoscience but it's antiwest, so I guess it gets a pass.

:shrug:

Vox is an awful source.

:marseylove:

It depends on who you hire...

Most jobs take bids and so many people hire the lowest bidder. Because of this, a lot of contractors price their bids as a best case scenario... Or they bid an exactly what was asked and nickel and dime for everything extra.

Wow, some people just can't get over their musk hate.

Same?

So ICE will arrest you for a VPN?

ICE runs concentration camps?

This comparison is silly.

Worked great for USSR, Venezuela, Cuba, ...

FDR also had to deal with things like state's rights... But why worry about nuance?

The important part is you feel superior.

Can you a communist example where someone like Snowden was treated better?

> As someone who used to mod ...

I'm pretty sure you were the problem

Rdrama has already done it... did it better too
