Revenge plays a part in it. But more importantly it’s narcissistic ego trip. He needs to prove to the world he’s the best, the smartest, the only one worthy to be a savior.
Being humble and making small changes will not result in Musk being celebrated as the most important person in history, which is what he really wants to be. If it all fails it doesn’t matter, because somebody else being celebrated as having the right idea is an even bigger failure for him.
I don’t know because I can’t know what every person who ever existed already thought about. Unlikely given the total human population.
I’m curious, did you consume other non-movie Star Wars media before, like books and animates series? I have a theory that the most dislike for the new trilogy comes from them basically “rewriting history” so to speak - cancelling all the characters and events already established in the universe.
I mean I don’t think they are amazingly good movies even in isolation, but I can see someone liking them for the fun factor at least.
Yes, the way media writes about it is a huge part of their success. Even the media that nominally opposes them. It’s either “oh just another political option”, or “inhuman monsters of the far-right”. Either approach legitimizes them.
They reward increasing the number of people who are formally married, rather than the number of stable couples.
Such a wonderful example of misaligned incentives, only a politician could come up with it.
lol I can’t even begin. I regularly use 4 languages, even defining what a pronoun is barely possible. Native speakers argue about the correct usage for some of those
Well good then, you understand that’s how you function.
A small secret - the “traditional” heterosexuality is a performance people put on, consciously or subconsciously. The real spectrum is a lot broader than it might superficially seem.
Nah doesn’t help. Try moving to another country and radically changing your life for a temporary relief.
Unless you’re in the fashion business you’ll always feel like you’re behind on trends.
One idea for a regular person would be to buy whatever mainstream stores are selling at the moment and try to combine it in unique ways. You will sometimes get bad results sure, but there will be less pressure to follow trends if you start coming up with your own styles.
All programming languages claim to be for humans. Doesn’t make them good at it.
I won’t try to change your mind because I agree with you. Well I agree that’s how many policies are implemented, not that DEI necessarily has to be implemented in such a way (putting the emphasis on poverty is also a type of DEI).
I attribute it to these ideas coming from the US. Americans have internalized racism so much that they are unable to think about people without categorizing them into a race. In a way it’s a final manifestation of the “equal but separate” ideology. Races must remain separate no matter what, but we can talk about mechanisms balance the discrimination by applying discrimination in the other direction.
Deep breath … I will not mention politics … deep breath … I will not mention politics …
A basic stainless steel mate kit. I wasn’t a mate drinker before, now I occasionally do.
I’d rather present it as a non-overlapping Venn diagram. It’s not the level, those are different skills completely
Concrete is not a material that ages well, especially when used for exteriors. Architects are infamous for ignoring material properties if it looks good when new.
All European universities are like that
immense, extended, extreme violence
It’s been 80 years since the last round of immense, extended, extreme violence. Those who remember and their children have died, even their grandchildren are old. Here we go again…
Like El Salvador didn’t have enough of their own criminals and prisoners, so now they are going to import more.
So technically there could be an object that is mostly a black hole, except on the equator?
