I never used X. I did half-assedly make an account in 2013 but I have long since deleted it. I have no real use for twitter.

This is why billionaires shouldn't exist.

The other thing I need to mention is that is that Elon Musk is far from the only billionaire with a massively disproportionate influence on elections and society. Or even the biggest. He is just the biggest attention whore of them all.

I looked them up. They are still an active band!

His health, both physical and mental, should have barred him from being able to do much. I am confident that if he wins, he will probably die in office from some illness. A Vance presidency would then happen...

I can't believe I haven't turned off recall on my latest computer. I need to harden it already... and make my transition to linux.

Also trolls and propagandists employ bad faith tactics specifically to make their opposition do the bulk of the world, which they either ignore after or they just laugh at for some bullshit reason they claim is a gotcha.

There is an Islamophobic author who has been employing shit like in his books since the 90s. It isn't new at all.

And the sources they claim to have heavily researched often never say what they claim they say or are utterly full of shit.

And their own sources are so heavily butchered or even lied about. I cannot count the amount of times people provided me with 'sources' that they claim were ironclad in their favor only for them to completely debunk their shit...

Good thing I never trusted it.

Fuck me I didn't think about that... owning your own implants? Goddamn!

Kinda like how software crackers have a pirated version of a game ready to go within hours, regardless of the encryption.

I guess that does make sense.
