Well, you have to explore other languages. As Linus Torvalds once famously said:

There aren't enough swear-words in the English language, so now I'll have to call you perkeleen vittupää just to express my disgust and frustration with this crap.

Marvelous. Contagious.

Btw seems like we need to start nationalizing shit. Can't have billionaires vetoing military decisions.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

You could even say it's an infringement on democracy, since Elon isn't an elected leader.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Me too. Just for a few minutes.

I'm very close talker.

It's time to nationalize Starlink & SpaceX.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It needs to. What we've been doing sure isn't working.

you spelled defense in the national interest incorrectly, common mistake

It's time to nationalize Starlink & SpaceX.

I really don't know what that would actually accomplish. How would any government benefit from doing that kind of a move, especially when the reason seems to just be that Elon is a douche, and that doesn't seem like a valid reason to do such things. Hell, even if we were to count this kind of blatant aiding of an enemy country as treason, I doubt this would be an appropriate response.

If anything, it might just set a dangerous precedent and in general be against the very same liberal values which are exactly why we're helping Ukraine against the foreign imperial occupier. Arbitrary nationalisation of the assets of politically inconvenient people is the kind of stuff that an autocratic regime such as the Russian Federation under Vova would do. And that's the kind of thing it actually does do, defenestration of political rivals is a convenient way to accomplish many goals, after all.

Nice to see that people are finally seeing through the bullshit, and that Elon is an asshole scammer. I've been saying this for years now and I'm always told he's the next coming of Chris or something. He deserves to rot in a jail cel

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Chris saves... on car insurance by switching to geico

This is nothing, wait until megacorps have private armies matching national ones like the Hanseatic league

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You mean like the East India Company which led the British colonization of India and lasted longer than the USA has been in existence (so far)?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Britain got in early on cyberpunk huh

I just learned a new English word, and it's maritime too! Also, yes, screw billionaires interfering with international politics. Also screw billionaires in general.

To scupper something is to ruin it, prevent it, etc.

"We wanted to have a BBQ, but the rain's scuppered that!"

Never thought about it before. Now it looks weird written down 😄

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

"Scupper - an opening cut through the bulwarks of a ship so that water falling on deck may flow overboard"

like so much other bullshit, this comes from the navy. can't just say tossed overboard, nope, gotta have a whole new nomenclature regarding gutters on gunwales to say the same damned thing as landlubbers

Thanks. I tried to look it up and all I found was something about a hole in a ship.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well that's where it originated from. Scuppers on ships were the deck drains that let water that came over the railings drain back out.

A ship was deemed scuppered when it was so low in the water that water could now enter through the scuppers, which is a bit of a point of no return in sinking a ship. No bailing or pumping will help at that point.

It's all well and good to talk about doing this, but when are we actually going to do it? I feel our window of opportunity to change society for the better is closing quickly.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The thing that makes this even more perverse is that Musk doesn't have the power to stop Russians from attacking anywhere.

So just what the fuck does he think he's going to achieve?

No more government funding for Musk.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I kinda hope Anonymous might take a shot at Elon at some point. They are pro-Ukraine.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Nazi is all encompassing, appropriate, and balls on accurate

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I mean we already have a word to describe an absolutely insane, self absorbed, narcissistic, selfish, vindictive, asshat: it's Elon.

:P

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

At this point, there's quite a few people in the US I seriosuly think we should habe a talking with.

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

You know how sometimes after you're done pooping and you stand up to flush and you accidentally knock your cock against the front of the seat and then you're so mortified that your ballsack shrivels up and retreats into your taint?

That's what Elon Musk is. He's a retreated ballsack. A real taint seeker.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I usually only say this in person, but I'm constantly surprised that no one's tried to assassinate Elon Musk and his ilk.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Elon The Musky Husky, American Traitor

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Indeed, but I believe he is also an American citizen

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
