  • Musk decided to respond to the EC’s findings on Friday by claiming: "The European Commission offered X an illegal secret deal: If we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us.

    “The other platforms accepted that deal. X did not.”

    The same Musk who in March said, “Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President,” and reportedly now has donated to a super PAC working to elect Donald Trump to the White House.

    Lmao. What a response. Doesn’t respond in any way, instead blames eu for some random “illegal secret deal”. Sure bud.

    Weird how much that response sounds like Trump. Just say random bs to divert the actual question.

    I’d rather hire someone I know is a decent, stand up guy that is easy to work with even if they are not as qualified as a rando, as long as they’re qualified enough. I’m sure this is not always the case, like maybe I need a specialist for a single thing or a consultant or whatnot. But I put a lot of value on personality in general.

    Though I guess it also depends how easy it is to fire someone if they’re not what you wanted.



  • But that same argument works the other way too, no? If you define a chicken egg as an egg that came from a chicken, then if you have a dozen of eggs you cannot know whether they’re chicken eggs or whatever eggs unless you know specifically a chicken laid them. Even if you take a dna test of it and it comes back as “a chicken”, you cannot know whether it is in fact a chicken egg.

    In the other definition you are capable of determining whether the egg is in fact a chicken egg by its contents.


  • No, the shicken egg was a shicken egg even prior to you eating it. The act of giving it a name is irrelevant. The proto-chicken could’ve lain a hundred eggs, each becoming a new “chicken”. If 99 of them die off and are never born then that does not mean they didn’t exist. It just means they did not exist in a way where we could’ve given them a name.
