Trump is now claiming he can't testify because of the gag order. As expected, he said he would testify and tries to make up any reason not to.

Tesla is pretty far ahead of the pack when it comes to charging infrastructure. If I was Musk, I'd be leaning into that and leasing the tech to other car manufacturers to make bank.

I wouldn't be slicing up the very division that has awarded my company such an advantage. What a stupid move.

Bunch of leftists posting on Twitter about how they're gonna let Trump win is a weird mood.

idk, Musk is the only vehicle head worth like 100 billion.

You look at the stock prices and volume compared to Ford or GM, and it's valued multiple times higher than them.

GM for instance is valued at like 51b, Tesla is 564b. Ford is 48b.

The actual fuck.

Guess Toyota is 380b. Unsure if any other manufacturer is that high.

Unfortunately, this is a time honored American tradition. Cops letting a fascist mob go wild against left-wing protesters. Cops and fascists are usually working together, and in fact there's significant overlap between the two. Some of those that work forces etc.

What's this do?

"why can't these people protest quietly so we can ignore it and go about our business?" ~ everyone who doesn't understand protesting

they are all good aside from 4 imo. 2 and 3 and 5 are all a+ tier

I don't think you can place the blame on Fandom like that. GameFaqs itself under the old regime couldn't retain it's users. This place was the 81st most trafficked website on the entire internet in 2011-- modernization or not, the reason we lost so much engagement on the forums was due to the vibe and culture of GameFaqs not aging into adulthood as it did with it's users.

It took so long for us to get swearing for crying out loud. Around 2011 the medium age was 24 years old -- we were all just basically getting out of college, shedding our awkward young adult skins, and becoming normal, mundane, average joes. So the folks who moved on with their lives, and started racking up their various adult milestones posted less and less, meanwhile the folks that didn't do these things, and more or less just retained their "awkward young adult skins" posted more and more.

It upset the vibe of the platform, where the minority of active users had a very large voice...the vocal minority set the tone of what GameFaqs were to become, and it ostracized your normal everyday average joe, which unfortunately made up the vast majority of the active userbase.

A poll of the day in 2010 got 120k votes -- most of those votes were from users under the age of 25. At this point everyone is just an akward kid. We aren't adults yet. We have no credit, we drive crappy cars, and most of us live at home with our parents still. Flash forward to 2016 and where down to 25k users, most over the age of 25. What happened to the rest of them?

Sure some will always just "move on" but for the most part the vibe and culture of GameFaqs continued to appeal to awakward teenagers, and less to normal adults with salaried wages, home ownership, teslas, and wives.

It wouldn't be so bad if the site was also attracting younger users to replace the ones that were aging out, but the newer generation was growing up with smart phones, social media, and influencers -- GameFaqs had none of those things integrated into its platform.

The place didn't evolve with its own userbase, or with the world around it. It just remained frozen in time, and unfortunately the user that attracts is very niche, and not that conducive to growth or monetization.

Fandom recognizes this I'm sure, and I look forward to watching their progress. Will they succeed? Probably not, but I'm eager to watch them try!

Despite how insane all this is:

Very excited. I will never forget the bread slicer from Part 1.

Isnt he a rapist

Is there a party that's sympathetic to Palestine?

Texas just used the first amendment to wipe their ass with no pushback from the federal government. There's already nothing stopping them.

Why.

It begs the question on how China and Russia would respond to this. While I have no doubt the blue states will find allies in most of Europe and perhaps Japan or South Korea, the red states may likely end up either isolating themselves or siding with Russia and Hungary.

Zendaya looks like a teenager and I refuse to sexualize her

I couldn't make out any of the insignias, isn't this just some milita types hyped up by the Civil War movie?

What are the tells that these are white nationalists? I'm not too familiar with such things.

Plus the right wing has all the guns. Ever see those Meal Team Six and Yall Qaida memes. Yeah these idiots are itching to pull the trigger and own the libruls any day.

It's also very telling that the only thing he has an issue with is cops being compared to pigs and not the other thing.

she literally said in her last topic that even if she came back it wouldn't be to CE

so I dunno why anyone thinks they're dunking on her lol

Probably not an increase in the actual rate, just more victims willing to speak up and more people willing to listen.

eh, i don't remember the exact details.
