You state that animals are expressing wants and needs, not emotions, then ask questions that can only be answered by “we don’t know”.

I’d sooner think you do not know the former, either.

After reading through your post history, all I can say is “Bullshit.”

It has everything to do with him being a hypocrite.

Geez… What’d you do, buy your local hardware store’s entire stock of whitewash for that comment?

What possible reason would literally millions of people have for disliking Elon?

Elon has been doing a fine job at burning his own reputation down. He certainly doesn’t need any help from the rest of us in doing so.

That’s what she said.

I used to be scared to fly in a helicopter. Then I learned how they fly. Now I’m scared when they fly overhead.

Servers weren’t much of a problem, they’re mostly virtual and could be just restored from a backup. The several hundred workstations were a problem. They needed a physical touch. All are encrypted with BitLocker, requiring passkeys stored in AD. Over half are laptops. Most of those don’t have wired ethernet ports, and an account with local admin rights hasn’t logged in since the day they were imaged. Throw in a proper LAPS config, where randomly generated passwords of three dozen characters in length are also stored in AD…

… Yeah, today was a bad day.

“Would no one rid me of this troublesome priest?”

What person, arguing in good faith, could state that they believe driving while drunk, at high speeds, while operating a cell phone, would likely not result in an accident? I’d love to see the train of thought laid out for that argument.

This was no accident.

He drove while drunk. He made a decision to become impaired. While impaired, he decided to get behind the wheel of a vehicle. He made a decision to drive unreasonably fast, beyond the speed limit and beyond his ability to safely operate the vehicle. He further made a decision to take a photo while operating his vehicle.

All were his choice to make, and thus the repercussions of his choices were no accident.

Does society want a person inclined to make such decisions roaming about freely? How many years of incarceration are likely to eliminate his continuation of such behavior?

They need to do a shit ton more than just hint.

Suppose calling men bees is more polite than calling them pricks…

I’ve got several years of experience riding motorcycles. It’s taught me to read traffic. I see a gap in a line of traffic like that, it’s either a driver who’s smart enough not to block an intersection (rare), or someone letting another someone out.

By your logic, Israel’s government is just as culpable: https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/

The IDF claims that the children would have been Hamas operatives, on account of who their parents were. It’s not hard to extend that reasoning to the grandchildren. After all, their parents were likely to be Hamas operatives as well.

No judge, no jury, just an executioner, based solely upon the IDFs word that they’re likely to become future terrorists. One might apply that same logic to the whole of Palestine.

No, I think I read you perfectly.

If your society is content with murdering children based on your belief of what they will grow up to be, it’s not a society I’d be comfortable being part of, associating with, or existing alongside.

May you be judged accordingly.
