I was also briefly VERY CONFUSED about who was moneylaundering, but then I realized that by devoting thought to this I’d already lost.I am here to make losers of us all; but also to double check that I’m too young to be going senile already.

Which is a convoluted way of saying someone, allegedly, lied about a medical issue and received financial assistance from another person for said issue.

Isn’t that just called “Scamming?”

Does it count as Politics-talk, pointing out how Musk is going full Ganymede on Twitter, throwing out all the banz? Because watching the death spiral is oddly similar.
Mummy Pun? MUMMY PUN!

@Jennkryst Eh, it’s right on the edge I’d say. I’d generally prefer it not to become a significant topic of conversation, but I’m not against it officially.
-
Even after everything that happened I wouldn’t go so far as to compare Ganymede to that puerile temper tantrum in the body of a dude.

@Jennkryst If discussing a non-politician’s actions in the context of a privately owned company is politics, then I have no idea what isn’t politics.

Everything is politics. It’s just not necessarily partisan politics.

This seems like a really weird reason to resurrect this thread.

It’s not politics per se (excepting the Coin Caveat that everything is politics) but it is Real Life Important Thing That Could Flare Tempers and Tensions, much in the same way political conversation is.

Oh man, I’d managed to entirely put this thread out of my mind. I saw it come up and was like DID SOMEONE GET BANNED.
Whoops. Just our origin story.

I had honestly thought this whole extravaganza was put behind us all.

Mostly a total tangent here, but David Bowie playing this song at the Berlin Wall is probably one of my favorite rock stories of all time and if you don’t know it, you totally should.
-
Not going to comment on Musk’s behavior unless it’s in a thread made for it, but I will agree the reaction to him has the extreme “lol ban me you coward” snowball energy that brought us all together.
edit: Or, as I put it somewhere else:
Like an earth-sized shitposting bat signal, a call to all corners of the internet that says “come make fun of this fucking guy until the heat death of the universe.”
