Can we please, please not outsource everything to Wikipedia? Many of the editors there are hardly impartial

And the CIA is impartial? ;)

Do please take note of the fact that I did not include "We should trust the CIA" in my comment

No, but you seemed to imply there are people that aren’t partial. Wikipedia is designed to approach impartiality even if its editors are people like you and me who are far from impartial. Are there better alternatives out there?

Wikipedia is incredibly weaponized. I meant what I said

You look at ~15 year old comments and it's people replying to people that aren't there

Elon is literally in the files, talking about going to the island. It's documented

Who knows who did what on this island, and I hope we'll figure it out. But in the meantime, going to this island or/and being friend with Epstein doesn't automatically make someone a pedo or rapist.

No, but they all knew he was a pedo/rapist, and were still friends with him and went to the island of a pedo/rapist, and introduced the pedo/rapist to their friends...

We don't know how many were pedo/rapists, but we know all of them liked to socialize with one and trade favours and spread his influence.


As part of the irrational mob that is out to find the witch, you are just being too rational. Down vote!

It's odd to be so prim about someone who is notorious for irrational trolling for the sake of mob entertainment.

Ignoring mountains of circumstantial evidence isn't rational either.

Yes yes such a complex situation and so hard to tell whether the guy with the pedo non-con site wanted to go to the pedo non-con island.

Neither does your wife divorcing you at about the same time things started to go through legal process...

Oops... yeah, in retrospect it was even worse... no... you can and should be judged by the friends you keep and hang-out with... The same ones who seem to be circling the wagons with innocuous statements or attempts to find other scapegoats (DARVO)... hmm, what was that quote again:

"We must all hang together or we will all hang separately"

Obama is not in the flight logs and there is no evidence he was ever on the island.

Elon Musk has his own planes, he would not have needed a ride had Epstein invited him. Recently released emails also show people (like commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, who asserted at great length last year that he hadn't had any contact with Epstein since meeting him in 2005) arranging to visit Epstein at his island and taking their own yacht over there.

He was only going to the island to get rid of bots on Twitter. Just like OJ spent the rest of his life looking for the real killer.

It's timestamped like 2013, I think. Years before he bought Twitter (yes, I know you're joking)

He was planning way ahead, like a real genius.

Why is this the most upvoted question? Obsessing over pedantry rather than the main thrust of what's being discussed

Zuck didn't buy it in good faith. It wasn't "we'll grow you big by using our resources but be absolutely faithful to the privacy terms you dictate". Evidence: Brian Acton very publically telling people that they (Zuck, possibly Sandberg) reneged

Zuck thinks we're "dumb fucks". That's his internet legacy. Copying products, buying them up, wiping out competition


:(


Yeah, but Tesla has a proven bad safety record. Waymo doesn't and the GP comment is alluding to that

Evidence (preferably with recent Teslas/HW4)?

That valuation is sure interesting considering the people killed in crashes from Tesla's self-driving thing

Edit: I love making legitimate points and instantly accruing downvotes from 'Valley VC types. Look yourself in the mirror.


Oh their self-driving thing...Full* "Self" Driving (supervised)(see notes)(not liable for anything)

Sorry, I didn't remember what it was called. FSD, I think

I remember Peter Thiel saying that "we were going to invest in Facebook regardless" of the meeting with Zuckerberg

I guess they just needed a Dumb Fuck to do whatever they wanted, Lifelog and whatever


I think too much gets made of addiction in a soft sense and not enough in a hard sense

If I log off Facebook and it starts spamming me with fake notifications, it's addictive in a way that's more than just "Facebook provides a great service! I'm on it all the time! It's so addictive! :)"

If feeds were chronological and they didn't blatantly lie to your face, or you got messages on time (they like not sending it to you by email) it wouldn't be addictive in a lab rat style

(This is Facebook, not TikTok, but still. And yes, I know TT tries to be addictive on purpose)
