That her contrarian asshole behavior is something wilful, intentional and agentic rather than being tied to her sexual identity or orientation, so she is, like I said, defying those stereotypes in the worst possible way one could defy them.

I was paraphrasing from the New Yorker profile so there.
Anyway, regardless of her personal identification, she's done something very important: reminded us queer women can be sleazy choads wholly independent from any sexual identity. Just out here killing stereotypes in the worst possible way.

I mean promoting a limbic system to the full brain is generous.

That's the kind of zesty takes you get when your college personality was "yeah I'm a lesbian and I support Israel, try to pigeonhole me."
It's as if somebody distilled Michael Tracey's personality to concentrate its odious contrarianism while removing his clownish buffoonery and incompetence.

Like it's bad when you have a basic evaluation based on physics. Really bad.
When you try to figure out how to fit those physics into a non-ideal engineering frame it's fucking deranged.

The architecture alone would be insane. The radiators are coupled to the photovoltaics; it's matter-on-matter in space means convection beats radiation. Then the size of the radiator means you pretty much won't have a 'dark' side. The satellite can't fully occlude all angles effectively.

The thing that's funny though is if these dumbasses go all in on it and aren't allowed to pivot by their shareholders who swallowed their horseshit on the IPO, a lot of people who deserve to be wiped out will be.

It's funny because this is where you can tell techbros rode in on competent engineers. The architecture of the radiator would be completely insane. The fact that the radiator is physically coupled to the solar would be a problem & the size of the radiator would mean there is no dark side.
It's been nearly two decades since I was in a physics class, but I thought cooling is harder in space? Because there's a vacuum / nowhere for the heat to be transferred?

I'm still staggered that there hasn't been more noise about the relatively quiet lawsuit over the transfer of GPUs and how Musk can't separate in his mind private ownership and the fiduciary responsibility of heading publicly traded companies.

It's a tactic pretty common to abusers. Ask anybody with a nutcase parent or partner. That refuge in audacity where something so shocking is said so normally; the intention is leaving people questioning whether they're insane for doubting its normalcy.

People are suggesting this is some outrageous lie because of the whole, "folks are doing a RHPS interaction".
But I can easily picture people yelling "slut" and "asshole" at the screen.

Kayleigh: My mom went to see Melania. She said the theater was packed, it was standing room only. People were cheering through it, they were excited. It was interactive—people interplaying with the film. She said it was just electric.

Also also, everybody knows that at that time the Blemmyes of Africa of course also had no heads and their faces were in their chests

Why do they never insist the characters speak archaic Ionic of Homeric Greek?
And, for that matter, over an entirely black screen to really capture the oral tradition of Homeric epic poetry?

We've all had a laugh at how stupid these fucks are not knowing Helen of Troy was born from an egg her human mother laid in the 'historic' setting but I wish one of them would bitch that the Odyssey is an orally preserved poem and a movie is totally inappropriate.
Forgive me, Jesus, because I genuinely deeply enjoy how perpetually unhappy and desolate these losers are.

I dunno man. I saw the same shit 25 years ago, except it was Muslims and not immigrants. So little has changed

Yeah obviously. Musk also pointed out that she was the face that launched a hundred ships, and obviously only a white woman could be that beautiful. Duh. It's not racism it's objective race realism.

Sorry, you can order takeout, with its labor and profit overhead, for the same price as a grocery store? Even figuring the minor difference between small wholesale ingredients to a restaurant and retail markup, that seems grossly improbable.

The first time I saw this loser tweet from him I read it in Brando as Col. Kurtz's voice: "their commanders won't let them write FUCK on their airplane because... it's obscene!"
And it just makes Musk seem, almost supernaturally, like a bigger fucking loser.

Funny that if you look at US Army guys, same as other Commonwealth operators, they'll tell them, hey, if you're measuring your dick, put your fingers at your wrist, not your knuckles. You swing low, but not that low.
Fuck me, you get a Trident and guys are putting their fingers at their ankles.

Jocko was the first name that popped into my head after Dick. Shipley does really great work for self-policing stolen valor but he (rightly, I think, for what he does) lets legit grads do their thing. Which means the normal shit-kickers that put guys in their place have no leash there.

Ah yes the race of "Asian" (forget the difference between Korean, Japanese or Chinese, or those compared to Laos or Cambodia, maybe they mean Turkish or Indian or Persian?) and the famously non-white "Russian". Who, if they're just a Russian national, are also likely Asian.
