And you as well. This is pretty typical of you, thats why I always enjoy reading your posts. Should we keep going?

4926

I mean if you really want. Perhaps you can elaborate more on how you are not getting defensive.

4927

I don’t feel the need to explain myself further. I am not here looking for your approval and it was pretty clear I wasn’t defending him. I can keep playing along with your trivial comments like this if you like?

4928

No, please do stop now. Your total lack of self awareness in this exchange is such a work of art, such a masterpiece, I hesitate to add even a single additional brush stroke.

I mean how you kept going even after I made clear I was just mocking you accusing others of being upset. Chef’s kiss.

4929

It is, I hope to be as smart as you someday as well. You got me. Damn.

Happy holidays everyone!

4931

Chicken wings: bone in, or bone out?

4932

Well, if lots of people think you were defending him, that’s a bit of evidence that maybe it wasn’t quite so clear that you weren’t defending him?

4933

Fair enough, though it doesn’t really change much I don’t think. Rich guy trolling people is only funny if rich guy in question is behaving in a way that is surprising or unexpected. Here, it’s entirely expected, and thus, loses most of its entertainment value. YMMV.

I’m thinking we might order Pizza tonight, noone wants to cook after christmas. What should we get?

4935

Well that depends on where you live! I’d usually go with a regional specialty, unless you live somewhere outside of manhattan, in which case I would just borrow a private jet and fly to Italy.

This is just like the NFT thing, because I am not 100% on one side, you guys assume and put words in my mouth.

I thought some random guy lecturing Musk on Twitter, and him him going along with it and giving a completely childish answer was funny. That’s not defending him.

The stock thing, I am not defending him, I just follow the stock and have been reading about why it is down. I am also not in the “Anything Musk touches needs to fail” group that a lot of people here seem to be.

4937

It’s not that you’re defending him, it’s that, to me, you find punching down funny, which is worse.

4938

Because I thought the balls thing was funny? How was that punching down?

4939

Yeah, you’re right, this is the thing that punched my buttons.

4940

This is always a good choice.

4941

Musk is in a tremendous position of power. He owns the platform and has tremendous wealth. To speak to someone in such a juvenile tone that also skews toward body shaming is definitely bullying, and is inherently punching down at people in a lower position of power.

The fact that you find this funny denotes that you likely also punch down when given the opportunity. It just says a lot about a person, and it’s disappointing.

4942

I’m often frustrated that more people are so lazy and unmotivated that they can’t just ask a friend to borrow the private jet. We get that you’re a little down on your luck this year and had to make some sacrifices, but that’s no good excuse to not put a little effort in.

It’s not like I’m telling you to slum it in first class!

4943

I deleted my Twitter account because of the way he is acting. The banning journalist was the final straw to me. I did all that I could as a no one.

This is mind boggling to me that you made that jump. I do not think Musk owes that guy a serious answer, to say that i support punching down because of that, I don’t know what to say to that.

4944

It would’ve been better if Musk gave no answer at all. The fact that you can’t see this simple power dynamic is saddening.
