Lol they aren’t trying to actually reduce expenses. If they did there’s clear places to go (we don’t seem to want to use our military, why do we spend 1/3 of our national budget on it?).

The goal is to inject confusion and uncertainty into everyone’s lives and to pwn the libs who think government is capable of doing good.

Mostly beans, wheat, and oats, in different form factors. More salads.

Your body only requires a tiny amount of protein and that’s also the easiest thing to replace.

Modern fake meat is not super distinguishable anymore. The stuff you buy at the market I mean, not the stuff that is sold at restaurants even when the brand is same (maybe restaurant cooks just don’t know?)

The price of alternative bean juices is pre-gouged. It does not take $8/gallon to blend oats. It does not take $8/gallon to blend soybeans. It costs far far far more than $4/gallon to raise a cow, keep the female cows pregnant, destroy the male calves that result, and feed the cows sufficiently to both raise another living cow (50% of which are immediately trashed) and produce viable milk.

It only costs $4/gal right now because we are paying for you with our tax dollars.

Yep

Welcome to the future

What a weird take. He directed first contact. The drum head. The search, and past tense. All great.

It didn’t start with the media, it started with the crypto libertarians and tech bros. I might be misremembering but I think the news media got on their knees in the mid 2010s.

Well, that and the stupid cameo in iron man. But in general when people say media these days they mean the fourth estate not paramount pictures

The article literally says “110” which is indeed above average. Furthermore, I don’t think anyone is underestimating Elon at this point: he built a cult of personality over twenty years that last to this day (smaller than it was a decade ago, but still there) and he bought the presidency.

He can do all those things and not be generally smart. His skill, like trump’s, is lying in a distracting way. Neither of them is likely to ever invent a new thing or necessarily even be good at anything else. But they don’t need to, society values distracting liars above most everything else.

I dunno, do you think police officers randomly threatening to murder journalists has stood up as a humorous exchange? I think it’s pretty cringe personally.

I’m never trolling about Linux. On Lemmy there are so many cultists that you can say the most innocuous things and it will be downvoted to oblivion or deleted for “trolling”. Maybe you don’t like calling it a cult but I get more downvoted for negative comments about Linux than other people do when they literally say Nazi things.

And then you get people like this…I mean what kind of broken prejudiced brain do you have to have to think this comparison is ok?
