The British East India Company is directly responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths. Tencent is not. 

reminder that unless you solely play indie games, you literally have no leg to stand on complaining about tencent’s business practices. this is literally just how free-market capitalism works.

I just started a new Fallout 4 save today, and it didn’t take me long to want to just play New Vegas instead. God, I wish Fallout 4's streamlining didn’t shave so much of the RP off the top of the G.

He’s not incoherent. He’s a greedy fuckwit who doesn’t care about anyone but himself, it’s just that unlike Trump, he bothers to lie about this for some reason. 

*Multi-BILLIONaire. Net worth just north of $35 billion. Musk is just another capitalist that thinks whatever is good for him, personally, must also be good for society at large.

Musk is just another in a long line of wealthy people that have never had to examine their knee-jerk reaction beliefs in any meaningful way because things have gone right for them. Don’t expect any coherence beyond “whatever is good for Elon must be right”.

“What did it mean for the Vikings of the Norse to land in England and to cohabitate?”

Once can never be entirely sure of another’s semiotics. But the way I read it, esp. on Twitter (where the red rose is used primarily by self-described leftists who see the Democratic Party as the true enemy) is that he is exhorting left-of-center populations to abandon the two-party system. Which functionally, if it…

So hear me out: Is it possible that he picked the red rose emoji simply because it’s red, and that was the first red emoji that popped up? Wouldn’t that be absolutely hilarious?

and Ivanka misunderstood?

I think it’s cute that the article states that the red rose is symbol for people with far-left political beliefs - only in America! Social democracy is basically one step off center to the left.

Look, it’s hard to reason with a man like Elon Mush, when I’m pretty sure he is on the bipolar spectrum.

Far right ideology is primarily founded on the participants’  hidden fear they might be gay so they go overboard with their  ‘toxic masculinity’ nonsense to prove to themselves just how ‘not gay’ they are. Which often backfires because dressed up in their camou fatigues they look like they’re cosplaying Village…

The “Anarcho-syndicalism FTW” tweet is pretty fucking galling. 

You’re looking for logical consistency from the father of X Æ A-12? 

Dude took the crazy pill.

I didn’t know that somehow roses are now leftist.

I thought it was saying that you should take the red pill and join the left, but shit I don’t keep up with Musk and while I think I’m pretty online, I didn’t know that somehow roses are now leftist.  I just found out that apparently the OK sign is alt-right?  God the world moves too fast for me.

It remains one of the great ironies that bigoted, intolerant douchebags take their iconography from a film made by two trans women. (Especially since the film can be read as a “coming out” parable fairly easily.)

I know I speak for the entire AV Club when I say we are all SO sorry that you had to find out this way, seeing how close you were. Condolences.
