Do you know what this site thought of Elon Musk before he started supporting Trump and gave that Nazi Salute?

Going how far back? Ten years ago, we didn't talk about him and nobody cared. He was not in the wider public consciousness. Those who knew who he was mostly thought "oh yeah he's that rich guy who wants to look smart" and nothing much else was said. I think his first bump in popularity was when he married Grimes, and then he was just the weird rich dude Grimes married. I did not know who Grimes was and still kinda don't. She had a Tumblr blog and then made some music and had a baby with a weird name and then vanished kinda post-divorce afaik.

Then I think maybe five years ago ish he sort of started showing up more as a sort of weaboo man-baby deal? Pictures of him in Les Mis cosplay, dressed as a furby, and showing off empty Diet Coke cans and a fake replica gun on his nightstand circulated. My impression was that he was just like.

If that creepy awkward guy in class who unironically does the Naruto run and thinks katanas are magic was spawned out of the ether with infinite money.

And then I think maybe after that was how stupid he is? That became public knowledge shortly after-like how the safety vests in some of his factories are in washed-out neutral colours cause he doesn't like neons. Or like... how he seemed to be giving off the impression that he was a genius inventor, despite not actually making anything or having any kind of education se can speak of? All I know is like. He was an owner with PayPal and then bought Tesla?

And simultaneously if I remember correctly he was kind of always about "if we don't let the nazis talk on twitter then we're basically á dictatorship" or whatever, banging on the free speech drum and going on about how jokes used to be funny, then bluffed about buying twitter and somehow got legally shoehorned into ponying up and actually doing it for WAY more than it was worth, almost immediately making it worse and tanking its value.

Now it seems kind of like an Emporer's clothes situation where everyone knows the Emporer is naked, but instead of getting embarrassed and covering up, the emperor just keeps doubling down harder. Meanwhile his whole entire ass is just. Out

somewhere out there right now is a kid with curly hair being raised by people who have wavy hair at best and those people are giving them 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner and telling them to dry brush it. and that kid is gonna spend all of middle school and high school hating their hair and moping over the flat iron. they're being told right now that if they don't dry-brush their curl pattern into oblivion every morning it means they're unkempt and gross even though they naturally have the kind of ringlets that a thousand bridezillas would commit horrible murders for every june. it's happening right now it's an absolute epidemic and a tragedy every time

just remember, one day you're going to open tumblr and the crabs will be raving like they never have before

I'm just glad prople are realizing modern journalism is really just carefully crafted propaganda for topics that actually matter.

Reminder: Not all characters included on this poll are canonically fat. Majority of characters were submitted on the bases of having the fandom accepted vibes of being a beautiful fat bear. Someone who could grow into a fat hairy bear. This doesn't mean the ones already there don't have a headstart advantage but if theres questions as to 'why is that muscular/skinny character here' that is why. Multiple people wanted them there and believed in them to be a fat bitch. Also bear is being used as an umbrella term as this poll includes women/ursalas

going back in time, using my advanced knowledge of very specific topics to convince people I really am a time-traveler, then trying to answer their questions and watching them get more and more dismayed by the weird patchwork mess of my general knowledge

"okay so I can teach you basic HTML but not how to build a computer to use it on, talk to Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace. oh shit they've been dead for half a century? well I have no fckn clue what happened in compsci between them and the moon landing, sorry. oh yeah we go to the moon! I can spout a bunch of jargon about that from Hidden Figures but idk what most of it means. are the Wright brothers around? yeah I definitely can't tell you more about aerodynamics than they can. got nothin on cars either. I can draw you a diagram of how a ballpoint pen works? you already know about climate change and you're still not doing jack shit to address it so not sure what I can do there... y'all have figured out handwashing and scurvy by now, right? idk how an artificial mitral valve works but I do know da Vinci got it bang-on so check his notes on that. I can talk all day about neuroscience and historical developments in professional hockey, but I think maybe first we should all buckle up and go over the whole Germany situation—WAIT DON'T PUT THAT GLOWING PAINTBRUSH IN YOUR MOUTH"

americans will, with a straight face, tell you they care about the status of women and minorities in SWANA, and then follow that up with "and that's why i support bombing them".

“The reality is, is that the military is full of native nomenclature. That’s what we would call it. You’ve got Black Hawk helicopters, Apache Longbow helicopters. You’ve got Tomahawk missiles. The term used when you leave a military base in a foreign country is to go “off the reservation, into Indian Country.” So what is that messaging that is passed on? You know, it is basically the continuation of the wars against indigenous people. Donald Rumsfeld, when he went to Fort Carson, named after the infamous Kit Carson, who was responsible for the deaths of thousands of Navajo people and their forced relocation, urged people, you know, in speaking to the troops, that in the global war on terror, U.S. forces from this base have lived up to the legend of Kit Carson, fighting terrorists in the mountains of Afghanistan to help secure victory. “And every one of you is like Kit Carson.” The reality is, is that the U.S. military still has individuals dressed—the Seventh Cavalry, that went in in Shock and Awe, is the same cavalry that massacred indigenous people, the Lakota people, at Wounded Knee in 1890. You know, that is the reality of military nomenclature and how the military basically uses native people and native imagery to continue its global war and its global empire practices.”

why are people so disturbingly okay with using the r slur. I thought we had outgrown this years ago.

i kind of feel like if you take "don't bomb iran" as an endorsement of the iranian government, you're not intellectually ready to engage in conversations about real-world politics. Go talk about steven's universe instead

I don't know how long this will last, but the situation here in Gaza is getting worse every day after the war between Iran and Israel. I forgot about Gaza. No one talks about us anymore, and the news doesn't mention us. All that is being discussed is Iran, Israel, and America.It's as if they forgot that the main problem is Gaza.
