Slap an anti-Musk bumper sticker on it. That would be enough to switch me from judging to thinking you are cool.

That's part of it. Unions also made a difference for a while, until the propaganda machine convinced a bunch of people that Unions were bad. When in reality, Unions are a benefit to everyone, they protect workers from bad bosses, and historically they also protected bosses from getting the shit beat out of them by their employees.

I have had someone tell me that they'd rather live in an economic system "like we have in America" where people have a chance at rags to riches, than a system "like Germany, where the social safety net means the average person doesn't have a chance at making it big."

If anyone ever tells you wealthy people are intelligent, don't believe them.

Not saying 6 figures isn't an insane amount of money for a speaking fee, but Obama was getting $400,000 in 2017. Obama is arguably a better speaker, and Melania doesn't get as many gigs as Obama did (there was a period in 2017 when he did 3 events within a couple months, which caused quite a bit of outrage on the right about his speaking fee), but 6 figures isn't all that unusual for former Presidents/First Ladies (Michelle's is reportedly around $200,000).

Tesla announced they can do this before they even announced the price of the cybertruck. As part of the buyer agreement, there is a stipulation that the original buyer can't sell the cybertruck until one year after getting it, and that breaking the agreement could result in the vehicle being remotely deactivated.

Honestly, that's probably what happened here, it was probably less that Elon personally deactivated it, but that it was sold to an intermediary, who then broke the Tesla agreement by "selling" it within the first year, getting it remotely disabled. Alternatively it may have just been a stolen cybertruck, which probably get it deactivated as well.

Not to be pedantic, but wouldn't making an endorsement make them no longer "Uncommitted"? Yes, Harris could and should be better on the genocide happening in Gaza, but "Uncommitted voters still uncommitted after not meeting with candidate" also isn't much of a story.

I'll be impressed when you that down to a subatomic size so you can fuck a solid block of steel because your penis fits in the space between the atoms.

For all the potential mental health benefits of banning cell phones, we should probably focus on stopping school shootings first. Until we've done that, I'm more likely to believe that cell phone bans are more about politicians not wanting to hear voicemails from dead kids telling their parents they love them one last time, than anything being done for the wellbeing of students.

Hopefully they're living their best lives at home while he's out traveling the country being awkward at doughnut shops.

I want to like this, but some of that mocap animation looks really off. Especially in those scenes with the idol and where indie is slamming down that stone. Looks like the mocap actor was holding back and that the idol weighs less than it should. It's probably going to be okay, but after the excellent mocap work in games like God of War, where the animation really conveys a sense of weight, and in comparison to the Indiana Jones films this looks a bit floaty and like Indie is pulling his punches.
