There are going to be some Republican elected officials suggesting that libertarians should vote for a crook in the 2024 Presidential race.
They are more loyal to the party and the man who made it in his own image than they are to the Constitution and the rule of law.
Beware.
@annmlipton I know a little about both of those things and it sounds... plausible.
@hesgen The idea that we're closer today than at the height of the cold war is ludicrous. I don't know how anyone still takes that seriously.
@baldur "Irrational exuberance" seems to be a prerequisite to founding a tech company, so yeah, that checks out.
@baldur Or they could just genuinely like a book that thinks through and explains what they need to fix to take their business to the next level?
When you write about the flaws in a system, some people take that as a challenge to fix them, rather than an invitation to simply back away from the system.
There's an episode of *M*A*S*H* where Colonel Potter needs to deal with the fact that his son-in-law cheated on his daughter. In the end, he does so by relating to the boy the time that his own fidelity faltered.
I wonder how different the world would be if more of us understood that the things that piss us off the most in others are just reflections of the flaws we see in ourselves.

They nominated Ken, but not Barbie? Irony is dead, buried, and danced all over.
@mentallyalex There's a little bit of Jigsaw in each of us. So few have the courage to let it shine 😁
@mentallyalex ...if it wasn't a felony
@mentallyalex Me too, but in this case, it doesn't even have to be elaborate. I'd love to just hop in that truck, drive it a block away, park it, and walk back to my car.
@mentallyalex Yep.
I thought about that, but it was too early in the morning for a Larry David moment, so I just went inside and informed the employees and waited until he left.
Just saw a guy leave his vehicle unattended at a gas station, while fueling, with the engine turned on and the door open.
Not only was it a huge fire hazard, but I could have walked up and drove off in it.
How have people gotten this stupid and careless?
And, of course, it was a gigantic truck, because stereotypes exist for a reason.
@bespacific How? Isn't the idea of a "flattened" culture one where everyone likes and watches the same thing? How is that not antithetical to individual customization?
@bespacific Isn't customizing the experience for each person's unique tastes the complete opposite of "flattening" culture?
@carnage4life I haven't heard anything.
But if Teslas are so expensive, then their owners should be paying more, not everyone else.
Your friend should shop around.

My boss arrived to work in a brand new Lamborghini.
I said: “Wow, thats an amazing car!”
He replied: “If you work hard, put all your hours in, really deliver, and strive for excellence, I will get another one next year”

Lol, they've been getting free marketing services for decades and now they're upset that the company that gave it to them wants to let its robots read their webpages too.

@JeanPoole_AZ Yeah, I get that much... Just wondered if the prominent delete icon was meant to encourage us to keep a zero notification box to save server space or something.
@Mx_EddyNikko @JoshuaHolland (A) That only applies when the state does it; when private individuals "execute the weak", it's a lynching.
(B) The law, as described by the article linked in the OP, doesn't allow "executing the weak".
