I wonder what the fuck he thinks would happen in this autocratic government he wants to live in if he said something the ruling party disagreed with? “Being fired” would be the least of his concerns.

Oh, right, per the interview he thinks an autocracy will perfectly align with all of his beliefs so he’ll be “protected”.

Anecdotally, they were treated better in Nazi Germany than 30’s America.

Because they were US citizens. While the US has some pretty… ugly history. If you think Nazi Germany would have treated a random black citizen better than what they got in the US you are absolutely delusional. The only reason they weren’t sent to camps with the Jews was because the population was deemed too insignificant to be worth the effort.

So… don’t connect the suspect inverters to the internet? It’s not like they have a magical sattelite link that can’t be blocked…

hydrogen-powered high performance.

It will literally never make it onto the streets in the US.

I know it’ll come across as an unpopular opinion, but some of them just need their ass kicked. Literally went to high school with a kid who was insufferable, a prick to everyone. One day he started bullying one of my buddies who proceeded to beat the shit out of him. He told his football coach he ran into a mailbox on his bike when he had to explain his face looking like it did. After that he was the nicest kid ever - he realized “being tough” wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. I guarantee a few of these kids just need to get punched in the face one time and they’ll start rethinking the “alpha male” ideology.

And the propaganda you’re trying to feed is straight from Russia with love through a “Russian filter”.

Ignoring the fact you’re a troll: one of these countries was invaded, and is taking every measure possible to secure their continued existence. One of these countries invaded a sovereign nation, and is wasting citizen lives for no reason beyond an insane, expansionist dictator’s whims.

These are not the same, no matter how many times you try to spew the false equivalency.

Don’t worry guys, he “saved them” by eliminating subsidies for EVs. That fad is clearly going away, and by gutting the American auto industry’s ability to grow their EV market share, we’ll clearly be poised for global dominance. Obviously the rest of the world LOVES smog and HATES silent/emissions free vehicles and will FLOCK to ICE cars that are priced the same as Chinese EVs.

Did someone prevent you from voting in the primaries? Or running in the primaries if you didn’t like the people running?

The candidates don’t just magically appear on the ballot. What you’re complaining about is “the majority of people didn’t want something as progressive as I did so it was duress”.

“I’m not getting my way so it’s not fair” resonates about as much as “the election was stolen because my guy didn’t win”. Do you have the right to not vote at all? Sure. But then don’t say a fucking thing when the world around you is collapsing becuase the other guy is inifnitely worse than what you were too proud or stubborn to vote for.

Progressives who refuse to vote for a moderate because “compromise is a four letter word” are as bad or worse than the tea party morons who started the republican party down the path of fascism.

Owner of proton is a huge MAGA Trumper because he “stands up for the little guys”.

It turns out, he can say “not responding to this email is a formal resignation” until he’s blue in the face, that doesn’t make it so. Ignoring the part where it’s not legal. He WILL be paying unemployment to all of them, and likely wrongful termination. Of course by “he” I mean “all of us” because it will be our tax dollars.

Better? No. But why do you think China has been pushing all of the infrastructure projects in Africa, South America, and Eastern Europe? They are ready and waiting for the USD to blow up.

While I agree the US does a fraction of what they could: Social Security

Medicare

Medicaid

WIC

HUD

ESG

COC

Department of Education

The list goes on and on. If you think there aren’t a LOT of social programs that they can cut, you are in for a very, very rough time.

Yes, in 2021 they took a $100M investment for a password manager. There’s no planet on which they can justify that valuation without doing things to significantly increase their revenue. https://techcrunch.com/2021/07/27/1password-raises-100m-at-a-2b-valuation/

If you’ve used the product for 10 years like you claim, then you should know very well the many ways in which they’ve gotten worse. A couple obvious ones off the top of my head because I dropped them like a bad habit after I saw that VC “investment”:

1. they killed off any ability to purchase a permanent license key and forced people into subscriptions.
2. the app has only improved? How are those nested tags working for you? A feature they had 10 years ago that they broke and never brought back.
3. Performance on windows has continually gotten worse with every release for the last 8 years.

It’s not insane at all. It sucks but it’s completely logical. Musk is just protecting his capital as best he can within a global capitalist system.

No, it’s absolutely insane, and short sighted. You know how much his capital will be in the event of WWIII? We won’t be spending money on overpriced EVs or sending rockets to outer space on scientific missions to study the universe. Assuming he doesn’t get himself assassinated first by people that actually care about democracy. The absolute BEST thing to protect his capital is a strong spending class in the US, which would require the economy to not collapse. You gut social services, there is exactly one logical outcome and it is social unrest followed by either class war or civil war.

DEFINITELY do not go 1password. They took a massive VC investment and it is only a matter of time before they find a way to monetize it. Ignoring the fact they absolutely destroyed the app.

Bitwarden (you can host yourself with vaultwarden) or KeepassXC.

“Mission Accomplished” might be one of the greatest all time. And to think I thought that would be as low as it could get for our country.

No, he wanted to “reduce spend”. You can either do that by negotiating better prices: good.

OR, you can just cut funding for medicare and social security entirely: horrible, what he said he was going to do, and what all the fucking morons who just decided to ignore his statements insisted he’d never do because it would “hurt the working class who supported him”.

So hold them accountable for literally any other office besides president when the opponent is a literal fascist?

Yes, “held accountable” because you can’t imagine a world in which geopolitics means you can’t just cut off all support to an ally with an “or else”.

The only thing worse than the morons too stupid to see that Trump is going to do what he says, are the morons who think that you can just drop all aid to Israel overnight and nothing will happen. Do any of you have ANY idea how intertwined both our military and tech sectors are?

I don’t see how Qualcomm buying Intel ever flies when Nvidia was blocked from buying ARM.
