Warhammer 40k: Boltgun

Looking forward to playing it this week

I think a lot of dems have decided it’s time to play the same game the republicans are playing. A sort of “if they won’t play by the rules, why should we?” mentality.

I don’t know if I like or agree with that, but I can certainly understand why someone would make that choice. That’s what I was trying to get at with my previous comment.

Every time I see/hear someone say this, I am reminded of the phrase, “You cannot reason someone out of a position they were not reasoned into”. It also doesn’t help that the republicans in power have shown us, over and over, that they are not acting/arguing in good faith.

Having a reasonable conversation and trying to remain rational when faced with those two factors is very difficult, at best, and puts you at a significant disadvantage, at worst.

That being said, I don’t really have any better ideas other than to stick to my ideals and try to be rational/reasonable.

May I ask what, in your opinion, makes him so great?

Yeah that’s totally fair. A billionaire’s actions are generally more newsworthy since they can exhibit much more control of the world around them than most people. I guess I’m just tired of this asshole and want his antics to just stop. But maybe that’s hoping for too much.

You’re right. Saying “I’m tired of seeing so much shit about Musk” is the same as “Musk did nothing wrong and it’s actually everyone else’s fault that he’s an asshole.” You’re too smart for me. I can’t believe I thought that I’d outfox you and everyone else here.

Huh? I really don’t understand where all this came from. I’m not trying to “control the internet and the rest of the entire world”. I asked if we could all ignore Musk rather than give him so much attention all the time. If you disagree, that’s fine. Clearly, a lot of other people here do also, so I suspect that we will continue to see articles posted about anything and everything Elon Musk does. And that’s fine. That’s how this whole platform is intended to work. But that doesn’t mean I also shouldn’t express that I am tired of seeing “news” about the guy and would rather it stop.

I downvoted it and also felt the desire to express my opinion in a comment. What else is the point of a comment section if not to comment on the content of the post?

I find it a bit ironic that you left a comment to “whine” about “whiny” people when you could have followed your own advice by voting on my comment and ignoring it.

Elon Musk being an asshole is not “news”. Can we please just start ignoring that piece of shit instead of posting every god damn article about him all over Lemmy?

Nah he put his hands on her first. I think she is well within reason to throw a punch at him for that, especially given that he came at her aggressively, calling her racial slurs.

Perhaps it’s because an explosion at a hospital, no matter the cause, isn’t really something to “xD” about.

I see a headline like this and think, “oh fuck they’re definitely developing that, if they haven’t already.”

It’s edgy to disbelieve in something that has no factual basis?

In a representative democracy, the people being responsible for their government is kind of the point.

There are a lot of us here that would like to change things.

The same thing you’d do if they were working in an office. How does being remote change this?

Yeah that election was stolen. Two words: hanging chad
