Elon sounds like this phase I went through where I believed I was the smartest person alive, and I would often make grandiose and contrarian statements to keep up the illusion, because being considered the smartest was more important than the actual possession of knowledge or wisdom. Simply because feeding my ego felt good, but I realized that feeding my ego means not feeding my true self which is NOT the ego, and if I fed myself I could actually became intelligent and enjoy maybe not feel the high of the role… but actually being intelligent is more valuable.

If I recall correctly I was 15 at the time this started and 17-19 when I stopped doing it because I realized it made me an assclown.

So uhhh How old is Elon?

It’s not that he’s bad at games, it’s that he used illegal methods to cheat his way into being one of the Top Diablo IV and POE 2 players, and when the devs of the latter called bullshit (Blizzard being the old men who yell at clouds didn’t because they thought being associated with Elon was a positive thing) so he played on a new account to “Prove” he was “Just that good”

And basically did the Action RPG equivilent of dying to the first Goomba in Super Mario Bros.’ World 1-1 at a live convention where your speedrunning skills are the main attraction

Is this the new “Game Journalist fails at Cuphead…'s tutorial with on-screen instructions.”

I’m aware

I love stealth puns

The only reason to root gender in how you were born is to ensure gender roles are as rigid and immutable as possible.

This, this right here, that’s the game, that’s the whole game. They want to punish transness and then start changing what the definition of trans is.

“Your daughter was wearing pants, and said no when my boy asked her out, that’s trans behavior and it’s unAmerican, might have to report you to a correction agency if this shit doesn’t stop.”

Dunning-Krueger effect is the delusion that you are smarter than a serial killer who stalks teenagers in their nightmares.

What really bothers me is that they seem to be winning on the “Trans Sports” issues which sucks, it’s such a blatant distraction that I’d let them just “have that”, but… you know damn well that’s the floor and not the ceiling, and even then their wins are based on lies.

There are less trans athletes in the world then there are kids with measles in Texas, but the Right would have you believe ever Macho Man Randy Savage type is getting into sports and just blowing records clean away. Hence the push to “Ban transwomen and revoke their records”

What records? Even Lia Thomas, the closest they’ve gotten to finding an “Evil Cheating Trans!!1111” only came in 4th place…

One time a woman told me that my lack of a second X Chromosome meant I would “always be a man”

So I gaslit her into thinking her husband had klinefelters.

I hate how Republicans think transphobia is science

The problem is that Adam Ruins Everything is guilty of spreading more misinformation than it solves. (The Video Games episode is particularly embarrassing)

It’s neat entertainment and it does expose some bullshit, but it aint perfect. And to its credit it does have a few “Times we were wrong” episodes

Edit: Don’t know why the crowd is stereotypes of Liberals though, they’re not the ones on the Science Denial train unless they’re the “Betraying Transpeople will win us elections!” type

Ironic that the Right is the movement associated with the phrase “Facts don’t care about your feelings.”

“Science just doesn’t know if this trans stuff is safe, don’t Leftists know their biology? Men are men and women are women!” Is something my trans ass is tired of hearing.

Dunno why you’re being downvoted

What? Who;s dead wife?

I don’t like being alive, I already didn’t, but I like it less now. I crave the afterlife.

The Flat Earth “Theory” is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard because of the simple fact that if it turned out to be true, if NASA came out and said “Eyup, we were bullshitting everyone the whole time.”

Not a damn thing about my life would change.

There’s no “The Secret” level nonsense where because this one thing is true I am suddenly empowered to free myself from the chains of society or reality. There’s no “Ah, but your honor I’m a Sovereign Citizen, that means actually the murder I comitteded isn’t illegal and you owe me a check for 69 Billion Dollars as punishment for wasting my time”

There’s not a damn thing to be gained from it.

Sad to see “Edgelord Reddit Atheism” in here, is magic real? Only you can answer that question and only for yourself.

Though keep in mind, anyone offering to bless you or give you a reading for a price is likely to be lying.

I just want one that’s active

The chances that there this nothing waiting for us after death are laughably slim, especially as we make more discoveries about death and quantum phenomenon
