    I just wanted to play. I’d never work for that asshole.

    I would be very happy to be employed by Musk as a lawyer. I assume the pay is excellent, and it probably comes with a company car (a Tesla, but still).

    I mean, I wouldn't actually do any work for him (and don't have a law degree anyway), but I'd be happy to cash the pay check.

    Considering how dangerous those things seem to be, I wouldn't use it as a car if it was given to me. Maybe a very big and heavy lawn ornament.

    Whenever I think of driving like a video game, I remember playing grand turismo 1 on the ps1, where you were either full throttle or no throttle and either steering full left or right or neutral, because the controls were all digital buttons. "Boy, driving seems hard, I can't stop crashing into the course walls. How do my parents do this?" Thought child me.

    my mom would always be like 'I hope you don't drive in real life like you do in those games!' while knowing full well that I do, indeed, drive like I do in gta

    The best and most useful voice control for me was “Xbox, power on” because it told the console to start up while I was searching for my controller, thus saving me the time of the initial loading screens.

    All the other voice controls Kinect have never came close to how often I used the power on function.

    Actually can someone with an Alexa or Google Home ask it the question? I want to know what the response is, because when I had an Alexa I found out that the nerds who made it definitely left their touch.

    So, satirical video game website Hard Drive made a post about solving the Zodiac Killer letter with VLC.

    Then Elon Musk stole the image they made for the story (and he cropped off the Hard Drive watermark, if you're thinking it was just an accident.)

    In response, Hard Drive asked that he not steal their work.



    Of course, Musk responded in a... Muskian manner. And so things escalated:







    Today's moral comes from Mark Twain: don't pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.

    (And to understand why this sort of theft is serious business for these websites):

    They highlight an actual real thing - Tesla factories are unsafer than others because hazard zones aren't marked in high visibility yellow - purely because Musk hates the color.

    The stats in a vacuum aren't a crime but they don't match the equipment which itself is entirely non-cohesive. He's a fat rolling spell caster with no ability to recover or even sustain from damage. As the article I shared says "Musk’s build is a guy who has spent zero seconds thinking about how the game actually works" which is fairly representative of a dude that thinks tunnels are immune to flooding.

    I think the hours played is the real point there, dude spends all day shitposting on Twitter and playing video games and I know from personal experience that leaves little time for work or raising kids

    …while he posts about Tesla engineers not working enough hours cause they only burn “midnight oil” and not “3am oil”
