Things that made you laugh today (Political Version)

[Gelston]

Elon Musk spent tens of billions of dollars to play gotcha, with zero long term impact on policy and the law. Well played? Sorry to hear your fortune has tanked because you're a nut job and your companies are crashing as a result of your mania! Except no, I'm not sorry, jk.

"tanked"

He still has has 180 billion dollars, I know you value shit for eating more highly though.

Politics aside on this one as it’s an independent choice of the young adult and/or parents, but my thoughts… Living that way past lets say early 20s is a disservice for both the parent & young adult (child of parent). The young adult really isn’t grownup until they leave the house & experience the world for themselves. The parent(s) also needs to grow and experience the inevitable life without your child living with you. Perhaps this trend among others is why each generation is becoming weaker, softer, more immature, and entitled.

I have an 18 year old in out of state college and another going to college locally (had children as a young adult). My thoughts / rules as a father & the man of my house… I co-rule with my wife as a benevolent dictator. As long as my child lives in my home it’s our rules. To live with me you must be going to school full-time and do what I tell them. My oldest child (19) also has a part time job and has been saving for her own place. We agreed I would pay half her rent, but she has to pay the down payment & pay her half while going to school. I’m fortunate to be in a good financial position where I can afford to give them a head start / advantage in life. I pay their tuition and basic living expenses right now. When they finish college I expect them to start their careers and establish their own permanent residence. I will help with that, as well as buying their first home when the time comes & situation is right.

This is logical and sounds like a solid family approach.

The article was not about that, at all. That's the point... no politics involved in it.

I remember in the early & mid 2000s as a working young adult at that time, a good number of people my age lived as what we called $30k (salary) millionaires. Luxury retailers loved those people because they lived WAY beyond their means. They lived with 3-4 roommates in a not so large apartment. They leased a new 5 series BMW, had an amazing wardrobe consisting of popped double collared polos with Christian Dior jeans, and crippling credit card debt. Those guys were douche bags but at least they didn’t live with their parents…

Turns out Musk had a secondary goal in buying Twitter, to shut down the activities of the man tweeting his flights and movements throughout the country, you know, in the name of freedom of thought, expression and all that. Hypocrite.

The irony of you calling anyone else on the planet a hypocrite.

Followed immediately by Elon posting the license plate of someone and calling on Twitter users to track them down. Doxxing only being acceptable when it's not his own information of course. Got to love his creation of a lynch mob.

So, you are fine with doxxing as long as the target is someone you disagree with.

Got it.

I hope the license plate is the guy who tracks Elon's jet... because that's fucking funny.

I'm sure being followed by some Antifa clown is nothing to worry about. So weird how you left out all the context...

Elon: No more doxxing will be allowed.
Also Elon: Please create an angry mob to track down this person for me, here is their real life information.
