Visually, the Cybertruck asked and answered pressing questions. Questions like: What if a hammerhead shark were also a microwave? What if the abstract concept of “toxic masculinity” took on a physical form? Can a car be so powerfully off-putting that it makes your wife divorce you? Can a person communicate, solely through their chosen mode of transit, where they were on January 6, 2021?
No idea. Honestly, one is too many.
Well, I don't know about that "no bad publicity" thing... I get what you mean, and I've heard it said before, but I suppose it is subjective. I know that I'd never patronize any business that used a Deplorean to advertise. In fact I'd steer well clear of them and advise others to do the same, as well as actively avoid individuals who own them. MAGA went all in on them, as part of their identity and fealty to Trump and Musk, so that says a lot. The people who desire "negative attention" are not the sort of people I'd want to associate with either, whether for publicity or other reasons.
You know, the news this week has been really good for a change.
He noticed. He whined on Twitter about it. Still, it will only be a short term loss most likely. With any luck, he'll be in jail within a few years (unlikely, but we can hope), and if we're really lucky, deported back to South Africa. Not going to hold my breath on any of that. There is a much better chance of him being struck by lightning, or his private jet crashing somewhere deep in the Pacific. Ah, what dreams may come!
I'm kind of hoping that Big Bubba, Elon's future cellmate, gets that opportunity, many times per day. A girl can dream.
In this case, I'd prefer to measure by the sum total of market value his companies have lost. So approx. 100 billion punches to the gut would suit just fine don'tcha think? Now, naturally we are not advocating for any sort of violence here.
Let's do some fun back of cig packet math though, because 100 billion is an incredibly large figure, and really, it's incomprehensible to those of us who don't deal with unimaginably large numbers regularly. To illustrate:
If said punches were given to the soft fleshy gut every 3 seconds, it would take around 9,500 years until 100 billion punches were reached. That's a practical eternity of glorious gut punches. Obviously, nobody lives for that long, punched forever or not, so we'd have to shorten the frequency (time) of punches to the gut, clearly. And because we're all about being fair-minded here, let's try to get this work done in, oh, I dunno... 30 years' time sounds reasonable.
To complete this glorious and noble task in just 30 years, punches would need to be delivered to the gut once every 9.47 milliseconds, which is about 105 body blows per second all in. But we're not quite done. If we divide this work up between the world's entire population, which is fair, so that everybody has a go, each person on earth could expect to land one gut punch every 2.5 years, for a total of 12 gut punches per person.
Now you know! :)
I dunno. Most likely the same claims, but the trial mentioned in the article has just begun with opening statements.
I mean, of course Nazis are racist.
I'm glad you saw it now. :) Cheers!
Long live Dizzy Flores.
No great revelation here, I know. I doubt any of them are ex-pats.
Looking again at this thread here, I might have misread or misunderstood Rothe's comment. I thought OP typically meant "original poster" or post creator. Yeah? But I suppose the intent could have been "original post" or the meme itself? Dunno. In any case, I disagree there's a failure on a deeply fundamental level when the meme clearly refers to both of them hating each other. That I feel a need to explain this likely does mean that the meme is potentially unclear, I suppose.
No, I'm not. Please. Project elsewhere.
I feel like you are "blowing" things out of proportion in respect of this meme's content. Lighten up, Francis.
