BKM

True.

@bkm
it ain't nuthin' if they aren't lining up to volunteer...

@noondlyt

Some will find out they're not candidates...

@noondlyt @bkm
Probably only conservatives. They'll think (LoL) that it won't make any difference to them.

@MacropodCare @bkm
The real tragedy about this is that it is to be used to help with epilepsy and potentially other neurological pathway issues. I really do hope it will work because the people lining up for it are in need of something like this. I joke because I hate that man, but if he is able to safely help those in need then I would be really truly happy for them regardless of the origin of the technology.

@noondlyt @MacropodCare @bkm We have seen what happens to his cars. There is no reason to believe his chips won't harm or maim the subjects.

@Agora @noondlyt @bkm
I agree. What happens if he buys Facebook? I wouldn't trust anything he touches.

@MacropodCare @Agora @noondlyt @bkm i actually hope he does (buy f). i hate f, and musk is the abdolute worst (i.e. best) thing that could happen to it.

@tivasyk @MacropodCare @noondlyt @bkm I had to open f because my prof was posting stuff for class there. As soon as I finished the class (in 2009) I closed the fucker. I felt dirty 😒

@MacropodCare @noondlyt @bkm I am not going to lie, am had he embarrassed DeSantis with his crumbling app🤣🤣
That was double karma!

@Agora @noondlyt @bkm
That cheered me no end but of course the useless lumps running in would have blamed Biden

@Agora @MacropodCare @bkm
The number of animals that were killed is the reason why the fda trial approval was delayed. I do not have any real hope that this will turn out well.

@bkm was just discussing this exact thing at our house.

@amandacsb2

I know. I was there......mouhahahaha!

@bkm
In the 20th century we wondered how ordinary people could follow an anti-charismatic leader down a fascist rabbit hole.

@bkm

I think I understand conservatives now.

They think the same as me, as in "It's not the technology that's the problem but who is controlling it".

We just disagree on who (I wouldn't trust Elon Musk or Bill Gates tbh).

And... I also kinda think... that spreading lies and misinformation about what someone is doing is bad, even if I think that person is bad.

(sorry for all the edits, lol :s)

@benx

Information leads to perception leads to trust.

The quality of the information is key. So we're screwed.

@bkm

@vmstan
Ok sure, but Bill Gates also pretty much single handedly stopped an open source vaccine from being developed, so let's not forget there are some very legitimate reasons to be angry at him.

@bkm - To me both Gates and Musk are evil. I wouldn't trust no billionaire. Pity people who waste their life defending billionaires and take side

@kasra_mp I don't care for either at a personal level. However, Musk is an asshole as a person, as a businessman, as a social influencer,...well, let's just round it up to asshole.

Gates me be as well but he's learned to keep it under wraps if he is.

@kasra_mp @bkm Gates isn't a racist asshole offering his platform to literal fascists!!
I believe we don't need billionaires; they are parasites! But, Musk is in a league of his own.

@Agora - I can't care less about neither of them. There is no good billionaire. Action of the worst one doesn't make the other more desirable.

@kasra_mp 🤣🤣 I never bought the both sides bullshit. I see grey areas about everything. I hate billionaires as much as the next guy. I reserve my wrath for the racist fascists. I never said Gates is desirable. You said that on my behalf. For example, I don't despise Oprah as much as I despise Musk or Bezos because Oprhad worked hard and overcame impossible odds! She is also not trying to end democracy or bring South African apartheid to America.

@Agora - I didn't say that on your behalf, it was an expression of my own opinion. I understood your point though. In that regards, I am on more radical end for better or worse.

@bkm

Even if the only people you hate – as a class – are "stupid people", that constitutes enough of the population at large that it can make you look like a misanthrope.
