Cops are waaaaay more likely to commit domestic abuse against their spouses and children.

It’s unproven if shitty violent people are more likely to become cops, or if the training they receive and the culture they work in turns normal people into violent psychopaths.

But whichever is true, a cop is more likely to turn to violence in a disagreement/confrontation than pretty much any occupation.

However, rocket go zoom then land without boom is fun to watch.

Yeah, Musk is a true innovater by having them blow up the concrete launchpad on launch instead…

The government got more money from the patents NASA got then it cost to fund NASA. Privatizing space hurts everyone except the rich asshole who gets the parents.

washingtonpost.com/…/biggest-autism-advocacy-grou…

Tldr:

It’s founded and ran by two boomers who have an autistic grandson and were very very upset he had autism. That’s the generation that would actively try to avoid diagnosis and help because they thought the label was worse than the disease, preventing an entire generation from getting assistance.

So its less about empowering people with autism, and more fearmongering how bad it is and that someone with autism shouldn’t have any agency or choice in their lives.

I didn’t dig very deep, but yeah, I could see how that organization does a bunch of problematic shit

givesomefucks,

They intentionally did something that upset a target demographic, those people burned nike products and tried to “boycott” them and it ended up making their sales go up because everyone was talking about them now.

I bet if you were specific, it was something about supporting a progressive cause that most people support and rightwingers got mad and “protested” by buying Nike products to destroy…

Just because rightwing extremists are the minority and don’t understand how boycotts work, doesn’t mean boycotts don’t work.

givesomefucks,

ChikFilA stopped donating to anti-gay charities when they were boycotted.

I feel like now they’re going to say because rightwingers attempted to boycott after that change, that boycotts don’t work…

Because they don’t understand rightwing extremists are bad at boycotting and statistically insignificant to a nationwide chain.

givesomefucks,

They do…

The only advantage SpaceX has is that if NASA blew up a launchpad, there would be an investigation.

Everyone is used to Musk fucking shit up, and his defenders pretend it’s really a success.

Your problem is with the politicians who control NASA funding, not NASA.

givesomefucks,

Yeah, but there’s also the cognitive dissonance of you saying SpaceX is fun because they don’t explode…

But they do explode. Waaaaay more than NASA. Because if a NASA launch goes bad, everyone pays attention. If SpaceX goes bad, people just shrug

So by your own metrics you just said…

NASA is better than SpaceX.

No matter what position I took, it would have disagreed with your comment, because your comment disagrees with itself. Which explains why you think spacex is a positive.

givesomefucks,

Go tell the people that support Autism Speaks.

I’d say go tell Autism Speaks, but that wouldn’t accomplish anything.

If you want more info, just read the link.

givesomefucks,

but I love that he created the market for electric cars

This is like saying OJ Simpson invented Smuckers Uncrustables so he’s not all bad…

Firstly, it’s not true.

Secondly, even if it was true, it doesn’t amount to enough to celebrate him.

Because putting peanut butter and jelly in a sandwich was already a thing that was popular. It just became worse for the environment and more expensive for consumers by individuall packaging them and requiring them to be frozen.

givesomefucks,

Personal insults and incorrectly using “big words”…

For some reason the people who defend Musk and his companies love doing that.

Does it work on 4chan? Is that where you all get this from?

givesomefucks,

Oh wow…

I mean I was going off of actual facts that you were wrong…

But “it is true” completely changed my mind, without Musk buying a company that already existed, we never would have gotten EVs!

givesomefucks,

Your claim he didn’t create the market

No, you said Tesla created the market…

I said that was false, now your demanding I prove your wrong because you can’t prove your opinion is facts.

That’s not how this is supposed to work…

givesomefucks,

Your first link doesn’t even mention your claim…

Your second is an opinion piece that doesn’t back up their claims… And I doubt the authors judgement because they said up to 2016 no one was betting on EVs, despite virtually all of the big companies being in the game at that point.

If you set out to prove some people believe it wouldn’t happen without Tesla, congrats.

But I can find an article from someone who thinks the world is flat too, that doesn’t mean the world is flat.

givesomefucks,

I hate that I am here defending Tesla,

At least you finally admitted it, can you stop replying to every comment in this thread now? That’d be great, but I’m fine going back to ignoring you too.
