The only problem that can’t be solved by adding a layer of abstraction - too many layers of abstraction.

Yeah the bad faith participation was pretty obvious.

Imagine being “loyal” to a politician. Yikes.

Lmao, did you mean realpolitik?

Are you even American?

I just told you what the point is. It has nothing to do with his 2024 campaign, nor should it. Would be pretty fucked up if it did.

The question is whether it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to the letter of the law.

Did they? Or did the available evidence and applicable case law not support sedition charges?

Irrelevant. An impartial grand jury decided he should be charged. It’s not about whether it’s advantageous to him politically, it’s about law and order.

“You can beat the rap, but you can’t beat the ride.”

But why though?

To upset you, personally.

where did you get this picture of me and how did you know what OS I’m running (btw)

Here’s a pretty cool site that I think illustrates the original point that they were in decent financial shape

Lmao, I mean, it indisputably was. Objective facts exist. It was a publicly traded company so there is plenty of professional financial analysis available on the subject which you could easily access if you wanted to. Some of it even written at a level you could potentially understand.

Or just continue on wallowing in your own ignorance, whatever.

Yeah there is a reason, the reason is because his dumbass offered more than twice what the company was worth.

Lots of tech companies operate at slightly under profitability. They were doing fine.

Twitter was doing fine financially before Musk bought it. He paid more than twice what it was worth and he used loans to do it, that’s what this is all about.

Cool story. I don’t respect the property claims of those authoritarian regimes, either.

I’d argue it should be the default position.

Why should I respect this elaborate system of property rights that was largely built by and for terrible human beings who actively sought to tyrannize others for their own gain?

How much of the wealth held today can be traced back to morally illegitimate if not outright criminal beginnings?

Very well said.

The attitude you are referring to goes hand-in-hand with Christian Dominionism. It really starts getting scary when you realize how many of the American oligarchs ascribe to this philosophy. Erik Prince and Betsy DeVos are two prominent examples but it’s everywhere in the GOP.

Evil Dead: The Game. 3k hours in the past year and still my daily goto. Probably the most underrated game of all time.

No need to apologize to me, I’m not the one making a fool out of myself.

Educated indeed. Lmao.

There are, sure. And you are going to cherry-pick the ones that allow you to feel a smug and very much unearned sense of superiority.
