That was a major strain on a few relationships, some people are just terrible at directions.

I have one of those. They’re useful for measuring distances on topo maps where pretty much nothing is a straight line.

This makes me wonder how many women are quite unhappy in their marriage, and are willing to jump at the nearest opportunity.

Kinda depressing to think about, actually.

That looks like fun.

How confident are we that’s really her?

How do you know they know what they’re doing?

If anyone wants to create an instance and fill it with AI slop to feed these things with, I’ll chip in.

Someone drove a land rover part way up the steps, it wasn’t anything dramatic. I remember a similar stunt with a tractor as well.

Also, they didn’t miss the budget vote, their suspension wasn’t passed until after the budget was passed. They didn’t say anything in the debate, and couldn’t have stopped the budget from passing anyway.

The NZ Maori party favour theatrics over results, and have been like that for a long time.

Also the dude apparently does a lot of drugs.

How do they know who’s full of shit and who knows what they’re talking about though?

Oh, they’re mad as hell their echo chamber has lost its echo.

Also, our parliament has rules for a reason, and deliberately disrupting proceedings is a big deal for a very good reason. You break the rules, you get suspended.

His actions recently have shown he very much cares about public opinion, it’s why he’s been flip flopping on tariffs so much.

No, Instagram, I will not log in to view content.

Pretty much all of the three digit billions crowd are in tech of some description. There’s definitely an element of being in the right place at the right time, but there’s also a lot of business skills as well.

A lot of their success seems to be recognising an opportunity before anyone else, whether that’s luck or skill is difficult to know.

I don’t know exactly how much his parents were worth, but his net worth has increased by many thousands of times. That’s not “third base”, saying he got where he is by luck and nepotism is just wilfully ignorant.

Trump, on the other hand, would have done better if he just left his money in a savings account.

Even Trump knows that relying on the Russians to get to the ISS would be a bad look for America.

The drugs are definitely part of what happened.

I genuinely think he’s had some sort of cognitive decline.

He went from being merely wealthy to the richest man in the world, and nearly everyone thinking he’s a genius, to being hated by nearly everyone and losing money fast.

I don’t think that’s true actually, it’s a huge prestige project for the US, and it would be very embarrassing to lose it.

Elon’s response of “good luck getting to the ISS” was a pretty solid comeback to this.
