  • And don’t come to me with the “but shares are not money”.

    WTF are you on about? Where did I even alude to even suggesting that? Sounds like you’re really desperate to simp for him.

    His companies are notoriously overvalued (so his shares in a practical sense are worth shit) and he is massively over leveraged so those who devise those wealth chart tables are chatting shit.

    The real wealthy are incredibly private about their worth whereas boastful egotists like musk are all show no substance


  • Saw a comment elsewhere that someone who shrugs off being called weird is better to know than the one who gets upset by it.

    The far right are seething about being called weird because they see themselves as they cool kids who laugh at others for being weird so it’s really got under their skin.

    The right has made major ground the last few years because any explanation leftists give they like to provide context which bogs them down.

    Calling JD Vance a weirdo couch fucker for example, is succinct, visceral and keeps them on the backfoot as the far right cannot process their emotions at the speed that the left can.

    This is the shortsightedness of US politics:

    On the one hand you have a spoilt rapey trust fund brat that’s too stupid but will implement fascism in behalf of those whispering in his ear verses a near dead self proclaimed zionist actively taking part in the genocide of the Palestinian people and in doing so has side stepped Congress multiple times to carry out that participation and promises to do stuff if you vote him in but despite having control of all 3 branches of govt, does fuck all.

    So who do you vote for?

    It’s either eat the shit in some fake consensual choice and fucking smile about it or get force fed it whether you like it or not, and you all do this every 4 years but never stop to ask why you’re all eating shit




  • Suicide is also a bad idea and you are going to regret it if you find you’ve put yourself in an unstoppable position. This is evidenced by people who miraculously survive their attempts.

    Also, no matter how little you think you mean to anyone, it’s going to hurt them.

    My friend killed himself back in 1991 and 33 years later, I still think about him at least once a week.

    We used to share music so new stuff I hear, I think if he would have liked it. He was an incredible intelligent and astute person so I think about all the insights he might have shared with me.

    Most of all, I’ve still no idea why he did it. The ‘daily’ issues he had going on were not insurmountable and despite conversations we had ranging all manner of subjects, there was no indication of him being troubled by deeper issues.

    He got a lift into town with his stepdad to collect his bike, went to the top of a car park and jumped off.

    No note. No indication. Nothing.
