But does any of that translate to actual, substantive sales for the seller? I totally believe you because there are plenty of people who will agree to giving away free shit, but it still sounds predatory and cheap.

A free sample is one thing, 6000 copies of a product? That’s “Fuck you, pay me” numbers.

Say whatever you want about that little blue bird: it was one of the most recognizable symbols in a world with no monoculture. After the rapidly dwindling existing user base/data, that was the main value of whatever was left of the site.

Valid criticisms are not snark. Welcome to a free market economy in which people are free to mock the idiocy (and ego) of glaring business and branding mistakes. But please, feel free to continue carrying water for your anti-democratic masters.

Increasingly, whenever musk does something I think of that line from Austin Powers when Dr. Evil is talking about his father and says “he would make extravagant claims, like he invented the question mark”. Not that musk’s kids will turn into Dr. Evil, but I can see one of them saying this unironically.

It’s a corporate snuff film.

That whole thing looks and sounds like porn. 

My behavior, while not criminal,

“My behavior, while not criminal...”

Ah, but it would be IN THE CAR with the baby but the rescuers are outside!

I read an earlier story that said some of the victim disappearances coincided with times his wife and kids were out of town. I don’t know how long it takes to build a basement murder-room (I swear), but if he gets them out of town for two weeks or so, I imagine it can be done.

They accidentally locked their keys in the car.  The parents were part of the group trying to get to the kid to save them.

I don’t see that specific comment as blaming her, just wondering how it’s possible she didn’t suspect anything after he had a fucking bunker built in his basement.

Thank god!

Can someone please explain to me how your husband builds a soundproof murder room in your basement and you still don’t know he is a serial killer? 

Did this once but thankfully it was fall in PA and no stiffling heat. Got out of the car and must’ve left the keys on the seat. Went around to get my kid out and the doors were locked. Felt like a moron/terrible parent and had some panic moments about it. But a quick call and the police were there in like 3 minutes…

He hates bigotry, but uses ableist slurs. Cool.

If Cher doesn’t call her gelato “CHURN BACK TIME”, then we have failed as a civilization.

Also, if you’re seeing this Cher, you’re free to use that as long as you give me credit and 1% of the profits.

What a hilarious dude.   Compare that to Beyonce who goes to Dubai and says nothing about how they treat LGBT people because Beyonce only cares about herself.    

The real answer is, don’t spend or make money in bigoted, ignorant places like Malaysia, Dubai or fucking Florida. Don’t hide behind your “culture” as a shield for your hate. Human sacrifice used to be “culture”.
