You go to lemm.ee, feddit.uk, lemmy.ca or what ever instance you wish to join and create an account there. Just like you went to lemmy.world and joined that one.

Possibly yes but that doesn’t help if one is morbidly afraid of approaching women for example.

However my point was that it’s a bit pointless to ask why would someone become something when by definition it’s involuntary. It’s like asking why would anyone be under 6ft tall.

Yikes, a major war you say?

Those are not my words. Not even Elon’s. Those are the words of the author of Elon’s biography, Walter Isaacson. What Elon said is:

If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation.

The reason Ukraine can’t use Starlink in Russia (or occupied territories) is because Starlink is not enabled there due to US sanctions to Russia. Enabling it would be literally illegal for him to do. He also added later that had he been contacted by US officials and told to enable it, he would have, but they didn’t.

I don’t get people like you that start their rant by telling me to fuck off and then expect me to continue reading any further.

Assuming success and hoping for the contrary are not in conflict with eachother

It’s rare to see someone value truth over pride. Kudos to you.

Did Elon Musk Turn Off Starlink Access in Crimea To Disrupt Ukrainian Attack?

To clarify on the Starlink issue: the Ukrainians THOUGHT coverage was enabled all the way to Crimea, but it was not. They asked Musk to enable it for their drone sub attack on the Russian fleet. Musk did not enable it, because he thought, probably correctly, that would cause a major war.

The one I live in: Finland

The only thing I don’t like is the short summer and long winter but I try and convince myself that it’s the 4 distinctive seasons and the shitty winter that makes me truly appreciate summer. It’s also good for the human character which probably partly explains why we’ve been voted the happiest country in the world who knows how many years in a row. It may be less true now but it’s still in our genes; in the past you better be nice to your neighbour because once the winter comes and food runs out, your life may depend on them.

Serious. Even if people don’t say it aloud, there are ones practically hoping for Tesla FSD to fail and kill someone, Neuralink recipient to die of complications or the Crew Dragon module to fail and kill the astronauts only so that they can say “I told you so” and then keep shitting on Elon. Any rational person would hope for these companies to succeed despite who the CEO is because it’ll benefit all of us on the long run.

Why isn’t there more incel violence?

We conclude by offering one hypothesis as to why modern day incels are not as violent as we might expect. The Male Sedation Hypothesis, that online virtual worlds, such as pornography, may pacify the potential for violence among sexless young men, providing a counterfeit sense of sexual fulfillment and reducing motivation for real- life mate competition.

So in other words; in the past such men would have taken their frustration to the streets. Gathering into groups of other such men and causing trouble, kicking grannies and such. Nowdays they instead retreat into their mom’s basements smoking weed, playing video games and watching porn.

What’s the irony? Unlike Boeing in the past few years, SpaceX has a rather good reputation among the people whose judgement is not blinded by hatred towards the CEO.

The insanity of Elon haters is beyond me…

I bought a pick-up truck because I’ve wanted one ever since I was a kid and one day I just realized I’m an adult with money and I can buy whatever I want.

Well I started my own business a few years later so it turned out to be quite useful purchase in the end anyway

Incel = involuntary celibate

You become one by not being able to find a life partner or even a one night stand. Not something I’d really blame the individual for.

My gaming PC has 9

Love it when I can buy personal massage devices and heavy earth moving machinery from the same place

I would notice but what I would be even more concerned about is how they got into my house

I started my own business which involves going into people’s homes and fixing shit. I’m meeting a ton of new people nowdays, granted most of them are either elderly or single older women / moms.
