Ozymandius was trunkless - Musk is pretty much all trunk.

I really hope I’m dead before we have androids.

I used to work for a west coast tech giant. Their early retirement package was: “you are retiring now, goodbye” along with a severance just large enough to disqualify me from unemployment. At least I didn’t have to spend months pretending to look for work.

LOL

extra power under load to the rear wheels

Lol like there’s enough room back there to add a load.

I used to love asking for a can of Diet Coke … and then seeing everybody around me with that “shit, I could have gotten a whole can?” look on their faces.

the health benefits of remaining active and an optimistic mindset

Not to mention the health benefits of being fucking rich.

I own a 2003 International school bus with a DT466e. Not mechanical, obviously, but it only has 39K miles on it after a rebuild - built like a brick chicken house, as they say.

FYI the Navistar DT466 was mechanically injected until 1995.

Tires are another problem. One thing that makes me laugh about the recent Mad Max movies is that all the vehicles have brand-new knobby tires (IIRC the original Mad Max had a lot of properly fucked-up old tires). Since those movies are mostly practical effects, they needed good tires for safety but it’s totally unrealistic for a post-apocalyptic world. In reality they’d use old tires until they exploded - like most of the world today.

Refining gasoline is unlikely enough in these scenarios, but they’d have no way of sourcing the rubber for new tires, let alone the capacity to manufacture them.

Lol check out modern bikes with electric shifters.

Or that you wouldn’t last a year without your statin.

So I guess “musk impregnates influencers” would be OK? Even though that’s a lot more offensive IMHO …

Where on earth is “fuck shit piss”?

Not being a dick is free too.

And even if they do give out free tap water … they might not mean lead-free.

I live in the Philly area. Senior citizens can use SEPTA (buses and commuter trains) for $1 a ride.

I second the biking … but that shit ain’t free. Even used bikes cost some money to buy and maintain, and brand new bicycles are solidly in the “insane” category these days.

My local library loans dongles! Now if I can just manage to check one out without snickering …

Better or worse than rape-via-twitter? Better, I guess.

Making a million a year doesn’t mean you’re any less happy than making a billion.

Eh, I had a boss years ago who owned a temp agency. His income from the business was about $40K per month and he lived in a beautiful beach house and drove a nice Mercedes and ate out at great restaurants every day etc. etc. No financial problems whatsoever but his friends were all west coast venture capitalists worth hundreds of millions of dollars and he absolutely seethed with resentment at how relatively poor he was.
