I'll go first: r/kitty. One of the hundred grillion cat subs back on Reddit, the culture in this one was you posted a cat picture, and the only word allowed in the title or in any comments or replies was "Kitty."

Someone is using that subreddit for covert communications, I just know it. Either on the level of "if u/PM_me_your_nostrils posts an orange cat, we attack at dawn!" or there's some steganography going on with the pictures, but that subreddit was too stupid to be as active as it was.

People who thinks musk, trump, putin etc are stupid are ... stupid I guess.

They usually have mental problems like narcissism or psycopathy and lack all kind of feelings but stupid? No.

No, they can be all those things at the same time. Heck, it helps to be all three.

It was narcissism that made Musk want to buy twitter, but stupidity that made him think it would stop people from mocking him. And he came up with naming it X, so that's more evidence.

The only reason the world didn't realise he was an idiot sooner was because he had enough money to buy the ideas of smarter people.

You seriously think it bothers billionaires what you think about them?

I don't.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I think everyone would rather be adored than mocked.

[–] Susaga 2 points 1 month ago

I don't think money has any effect on it. Some billionaires are willing to keep to themselves and roll in their money pit. Some billionaires try to buy the white house and publish a book with their face on it. If they don't care what people think, they're wasting a lot of money on something they don't care about.

Hubris is stupidity, and billionaires have a ton of hubris. Titanic sub, remember? Bet their lives on their hubris
