Now you’re just piling on. Yes, I’m a Greg, yes I’m white, yes I renounce Trump and all his works. And I like spicy food. We’re not all bad.

Honestly, it seems like the most fair sort of compensation. Exactly as you said — if he falls short of a lofty goal you’re still rich and he gets nothing. If he hits the goal everyone’s in the money. I think more rock star CEO compensation should be this way, or at least have a far, far smaller guaranteed base pay…

I don’t get the hate for him. I think it’s just reflexive.

I personally hate rap and have no desire to sing along. But I do think the whole controversy is stupid. If it’s a bad word we should just put it to rest. I’d be happy to never see it again except in historic context. I don’t really see the need to keep it around if there’s all this controversy. And if it becomes a…

Well, that sure showed him.

Yes. If the movie is good we overlook the minor flaws. If it is bad we are less forgiving. The OT has irreconcilable plot holes but we overlook them. What you said.

The more you learn about various cultures you realize being total shits is something we all share. You can put Japanese imperialism up against British imperialism any day of the week. Monsters, one and all. Indian classism is right up there with the discrimination all-time hits.

Not liking beyonce is a contrarian but allowed POC opinion. Openly siding with conservatives against your own people makes you an uncle Tom.

They are taking shortcuts so it doesn’t feel as natural a progression but this sort of thing can happen with people.

They had too many plates spinning. Each storyline requires a lot of screentime to make sense of and they simply couldn’t do every pov from the book. Not without more hours in a season. That’s why we end up with cliff notes of some storylines instead of fully fleshed out scenes. Character development suffers.

We can’t even reliably higher Burger flippers for that kind of money. how in the fuck are we supposed to get trained EMTs for this kind of money? Don’t these fucking Republicans know they have to use the same Emergency Services as the rest of us unless they happen to be billionaires and can hire their own dedicated…

I think it’s cover for getting rid of someone they don’t want. They want to appeal to the left without actually providing much of substance.

Never understood hate watching. I don’t like Larry the cable guy and you don’t see me hate watching his latest special.

Ouch.

As a white person married to a black person, I let her speak on these matters and uncle Tom is the kindest name she has for him.

I haven’t followed the auto side as closely but on the rocket side the incumbent companies had no interest in lowering costs. The system was working fine. Fly a few times a year, it costs a lot but the rockets are incredibly reliable. No need to build anything new to disrupt this.

Well, I can’t cite old internet arguments now but there were aerospace guys saying it couldn’t be done. Doesn’t matter if they did it on the moon. Shit, we have materials that can construct a beanstalk on the moon but that doesn’t mean we can do it on Earth now.

So were those new EV’s in the pipeline before Musk? Because I don’t recall they were. Like all the reusable rockets other manufacturers are discussing, nobody was talking about it before SpaceX.

People were saying you couldn’t land rockets.

The problem with getting an accurate critique of Musk is that there’s too much politics in it now. I value a healthy skepticism but too many of the critics have a right-wing axe to grind for whatever fucking reason. I’m skeptical of hype trains but, as you’ve said, Musk has a habit of delivering. He’s not the Peter…
