If in the moment you’re replying to your own interpretation, you’re fine. But the second you overthink about their intentions, you will be freaking out, and that’s what the machine sees. One technique for bypassing lie detectors is to raise the baseline by flexing your butthole but there’s techniques to catch that, too.

I’ve been able to find stuff about his mom’s dad being pro apartheid which is obviously bad but is not “literally the Nazis”. And that his dad claims to say apartheid is bad but said some sus stuff over the years.

Even if he didn’t do the work himself and sounded like a complete idiot in that leaked Twitter meeting, he did objectively advance society. I think the world is better off with things like Tesla Amazon Uber and DoorDash. Musk outlived his usefulness long ago though and is a net negative now to the point of almost undoing all the good he may had had a hand in creating. Society can survive this level of capitalism if it prevented generational wealth. The incompetency compounds and the inevitable conclusion has finally revealed itself.

Imagine the leverage you’d need to have to make “the richest person in the world” do a Hitler salute on live TV. Sure, people who tolerate, much less support, Nazi stuff “are Nazis too” but I’m willing to believe that he might not have actual genocidal / thinking races are subhuman / etc beliefs and if he does, it happened recently - way after he became compromised.

To a certain extent, “bad” people succeed in capitalism and become powerful because of inherent personality traits, and a combination of lack of consequences and privilege creating lack of empathy. But to a much greater extent, I think power is handed to people once enough blackmail material is gathered

The pedophilia shit is not a coincidence.

Eight HOURS?!

The 3DS got rooted by playing a music file. Anything can happen homie.

It’s probably because you’ve never considered words for what you are. You’re just you, you’re “normal”. Needing a specific word for something is what “we” do for for “them” because you are the default, you don’t need qualifiers.

This is 100% a you problem lmao

Usually in situations like this you might be able to schedule it super far in advance, and then maybe a week later call and cancel to get a refund due to “unrelated reasons”

Yeah that’s what null means dawg

Look up that photo of zero vs null in the context of toilet paper

Any positive number is objectively higher than zero or null

You’re agreeing with me, so I’m not sure why you’re saying No.

The con man uses the carrot as part of the convincing. And people are just as susceptible to those strategies now as they were back then. Science is better now but the “floor” hasn’t moved much, just the ceiling.

It’s relatively worse. If you have nothing you won’t be around to complain about it. But having a good life is totally better than simply not existing.

MBTI, DISC, and love languages work well together. Even if there’s no hard proof, it at least gets your thinking about the fact that other people think differently. It’s very easy to live in your own head and make assumptions, so getting exposed to these concepts in a formal way can be really effective in building relationships of all kinds.

All “truly good” people have incurable impostor syndrome?

God knows everything, why should you have to prove that you’re good?

I think heaven was a necessary evil. The point was to have a scary place with an omnipresent being that will send you there if you break the rules. For that to work, you need a good place to serve as the dangling carrot.

???

Totally not the same. Religious people believe the afterlife is better than real life and the OP was curious why they aren’t speed running to get to it.

A blank nothingness is not an upgrade for most people.

If you agree the system is broken I encourage you to reconsider your prior statements about the rich not paying their fair share.

Rich people do a variety of shady stuff and keep it hidden (Panama papers), I wouldn’t trust your lack of data points to mean it isn’t a pervasive problem.

I wouldn’t be surprised if those loans are repaid without realizing the gain of the collateral. Step-up basis is a huge tax dodge, and tax dodge is theft from all the people who would benefit from the things those taxes could pay for.

The way the rich use loans as income is unfair. Therefore the rich do not pay their fair share.

“buy borrow die” is totally income, dude. It’s just not taxed, and step-up basis makes it worse.

The net worth is used to fund everyday expenses, it is effectively income.
