  1.  @roguetrader33  Do you have any idea how 17-years-old that makes you sound? How could a rational mature adult even come up with that?

  5. Your point as expressed seems to be: If two things are at all similar, let's go ahead and call them quite similar. I find that dubious.

  6. Please don't take this the wrong way, but whenever I hear the word 'nuance' I release the safety on my Browning.😄 This allusion is a googlable thing & just for laughs

  10. It's touching how so many random people suddenly care what a bunch of random strangers make. Never seen anything remotely resembling it in my life. (Actual story: it has nothing to do with caring, or anything except hatred, envy and resentment of Elon Musk. Especially unacknowledged envy. But especially hatred. And I bet most of them go around all the time saying how bad hatred is.)

  11. Everyone knows it, and yet in the US more and more people say Left Authoritarianism is absolutely vital for preserving democracy. It's enough to make you wonder if there's some kind of chemical in the air, food and water that's dissolving neurons.

  12. As a member of a family who lost members in the Holocaust, your flippant and baseless comparison disgusts me. Shamelessly offensive and bad.

  13. What on earth is the deal with middle-aged American men who began saying "YOO-krane" about 14 months ago, when for all time beforehand everyone in the English-speaking world always said "yoo-KRANE"? I seriously want to know what's up with this bizarre incomprehensible weirdness.

  14. It was indeed an excellent question, but the even far larger matter is control of his stakes.

  16. "Currency is dropping" Against what, by how much? Not by much against most things. But most things are dropping against gold. Your point is so murky, I don't think it's there.

  17.  @lppoqql  "The world's confidence in the USD is dropping." YT posters are saying that. No one knows who tf they are. I think I have some idea. And the dollar isn't moving.

  21. Don't blame ordinary Chinese. They live under perpetual threat of severe punishment. Only people over 75 have any memory at all of pre-communist days. Everyone else has been indoctrinated since infancy and can't be blamed. It's very sad and I'm not happy about it but all I can do to help them is not buy Chinese goods. I almost totally stopped three years ago. Sorry, Chinese people, I can no longer do things which strengthen the Party. It wouldn't be right to do that to you, to my own countrymen and -women, or the world. :(

  22. Any apron which is now there to use for jet fighters, if there was no such apron there before, is an upgrade to that air base. It sounds like you're talking about an array of berms. Anyway it's definitely an upgrade even if it offers no protection. It means more fighter craft can gather there during battle, for one thing.

  24. I can relate to that. I once had a neighbor who behaved really terribly, and who thankfully moved out. Now a new neighbor has moved in. If my old neighbour was doing those behaviors, I can only imagine how much worse it’ll get if my new neighbor normalizes them. See my concern and how logical it is?

  26. Wow, what a coincidence how closely worded that is to the comment three comments above from "Choose Wisely": "Really puts the cry babies in North America who are upset about having to get a vaccination and put on a mask in perspective." Right down to making 'crybabies' two separate words. Hmm. Now what are the odds of that? Congratulations, "Jason": 2 x 50 cents = 1 whole dollar.

  27. ​ @MirzaAhmed89  Thanks for pointing that out. Ya know, this whole comments section is filled with people who take it fairly easy in their working lives and deep down feel a bit bad about it, so they cope with that by saying how bad it is to work hard. But in fact, again deep down, they admire Musk and his hard-working teams, so they cope with that by viciously criticizing him and flaunting resentment of him. I hope they sort themselves out. "Envy is concealed admiration"—Soren Kierkegaard.

  28. Yeah, they're not that good. That's why SpaceX sends up most of the world's tonnage to orbit. It's because they're not very good.

  29.  @jarvisb.6013  If "India is a neutral country like Switzerland" what is it doing in a formal military alliance with the US, Japan and Australia? Neutral countries don't join formal military alliances. (Also, the word is bloc, not block.)

  30. @@awesomeguy2689 Where've you been? India is "cooperating big time" in a formal military alliance with the US, Japan and Australia. Search 'Quad Alliance'.

  31. @@awesomeguy2689 I'm confused. "India is cooperating with Russia", then "Against China not against Russia"? But cooperating with Russia against Russia would be a logical impossibility anyway. Moreover, Russia cooperating with India against China would instantly sour Sino-Russian relations. So am I missing something here?

  34.  @zensvlognotapro  Of course. And assembling that team is a highly impressive achievement in its own right. Inspired hiring is a core competency for a good manager of any sort, let alone a CEO. It all goes without saying in every way. If you've built the world's 7th-most-valuable company out of nowhere, you're obviously doing most things really, really well.

  35. ​ @teekay_1  I had no idea I had it so good. By refusing to pay more than $12.50 for those 4 items, I never do. I shop carefully for the best prices, meaning I can rarely get all 4 in the same week, but my fridge and freezer make it work smoothly. The bread is a very correct French baguette baked that morning. Mid-range cereal at good markdowns about every 4 mo., milk every 2 wks., 4.5-lb. trays of hamburger every 2 mo. Seriously, $12.50 at middle-class people's stores. It must be where I live. (I won't say where but it's a metropolis that has a media reputation for being expensive.) Just curious, how far below $25 could you get if you put your mind to it (for stuff of mid-range or slightly premium quality)?

  40. It seems like ab or tion is a red herring as a federal election issue. As the laws are now written state by state, it's a state election issue, surely? Can a presidential nominee actually promise anything on this apart from Supreme Court appointments and maybe marginal influence via funding?

  42.  @panemetcircenses6003  Now and then, here and there, we find a person or people in charge who cares more about something else, or a few other things, than the maximization of riches. They're easier to spot if one merely accepts that they exist. Of course they may be dangerous lunatics of one type or other. So it's lunacy that's the problem, not sheer devotion to money, which is only one lunacy among many, and in my view not the worst of them.

  45. No it doesn't make sense, the way the Party tells it. I would imagine that Covid spread and illness are nowhere near as great as they say. This is probably more about smothering the economy to stop a different kind of contagion sweeping the world: inflation. Something, anything, just not what that horrible government claims.

  47. The CCP just start getting incredibly anxious if they don't starve masses of people for a while, making them desperately nostalgic for the 1950s (the Great Leap Forward: 50 million dead of deliberate government starvation).

  50. The Marxism you're spouting was the root cause of 50 million Chinese being deliberately starved to death in the Great Leap Forward. It's the cause of the hunger and suffering shown in the video. Yet you attack the West. How hilarious that you can utter the words "truly insane" and think you know what they mean.
