I suspect Musk being out of sync with his company boards bleeds into his personal life habits. Probably sucks to be a board who wishes the CEO would shut up but also the CEO is integral to brand identity. Plus one of the quickest ways to get Grimes pissed in public is suggesting Musk is running/financing her art projects.

I don't know anything about her but it sounds like she's mumbling when she sings and seems like one of those artists that has huffed one to many of their own farts so I wouldn't have a hard time believing it.

Meh, some people won’t like her, but she’s been highly critically acclaimed and her team has been financially successful for several years before she got with Musk. If anything, her best work was pre-Musk. I mean, she’s in her 30s and got with Musk what, 2 years ago or so?

https://twitter.com/PostOpinions/status/1257756475767902209?s=20 Mitch can gently caress completely off with this take. Between being a lovely governor and already saying last month that Purdue is going back to having on campus and matriculate new freshmen, he can go gently caress himself. Also, he was part of the Purdue buying Kapella online and rebranding as Purdue Global. About the only positive thing he's done is work at having tuition frozen for the last many years.

gently caress them and their raging hypocrisy. They did exactly that for everything and anything up to and including "Obama's response to Hurricane Katrina", now Donald and crew are stealing PPE from states they don't like and we're supposed to rally around their flag?

I block opinion articles from my news feed now, and it's mildly cathartic. Had to block NYT altogether because half of their stories that hit my feed were opinion pieces. They can gently caress right off and I hope their properties all burn to the ground. WaPo is just as bad and next on my ban list.

LingcodKilla posted:holy poo poo i didnt think it would be that big of a gap It's putting a lot of other numbers into better context - the shitbag protestors at state capitals currently have about 20% support. That's what you'd get if you'd have the support of zero Democrats, near-zero independents, and the death cult wing of republicans (50%). I mean the Republican party IS a death cult, but only half of them are vocal about it. Also, no newspaper should have an opinion page anymore. They're a relic that actively confuses people.

I haven't found a good one, I just use google news feed and spend too much or my time clicking "fewer stories like this" and "hide stories from X" and while you can tell google to gently caress off with stories about specific topics, it doesn't mean you won't see them. The only good thing about it is that google tends to note opinion pieces by putting "opinion" in the link somewhere, so I just click what applies. The certain topic thing. I can click "fewer stories like this" and it will occasionally bring up whatever the article is about to not see. Like, Kim Kardashian. Just because you block stories about Kim though, doesn't mean you won't still see the articles, because other reasons like that it's "celebrity" news or because kanye says something dumb or their dumbass tv shows hit new lows for humanity. You can't entirely escape opinion articles, but you can block the bulk of their sources by just clicking hide.

My sister got involved with some green beret and he was short as gently caress but definitely a gym rat at the very least. Even more impressive was the fact that he was cheating on several different women all at the same time.

I think that's a more recent development for SF. My dad and his SF buddies (80s to 90s) always had more of a runners build with most of their PT being running and ruck marches. My dad has mentioned a few guys that were built like body builders back then in SF and they stood out because of it.
