Random Facts About MeI'm a Targaryen, Gryffindor who does not support Rowling, very anti multi-level marketing, not a morning person, love espresso, hate the cold, write songs about my exes, and my latest pet peeve is people using the word "journey" for absolutely everything.
@quietmarc Ha, never considered that about persevered!
@ArtBear @bytebro @oliphant I wana place bets on whether they'll end up making a movie about him, and on whether it will be flattering or otherwise.
@xenophora @oliphant I think it's just important that we don't also fall into a "might makes right" mentality towards the people who do defend letting threads in. They seem to be in the minority, and I've seen people coming down hard on them. As for the HOA comparison, not being a home owner, I don't know much about how they work. I only have experience with body corporates, and only the owners of the apartments in my complex have much of a say, while the tenants fart against the wind.
@xenophora @oliphant I didn't get the context of HOA when I first came across the thread. I was Google searching for like half an hour and only finding home owners association, and thinking, no, it can't be that, until I read the rest of the thread and someone else had asked and it was explained. I felt silly. 🤣
@bytebro @oliphant @ArtBear Just to clarify, that last toot wasn't supposed to be snarky towards anyone but Elon. :)
@bytebro @oliphant @ArtBear Yeah, "self made"... His daddy owned mines here, which I'm sure you know. But anyway, we don't claim him. #southafrica
@bytebro @oliphant @ArtBear I'd fix my typo, but I'm on a platform that doesn't let me edit. Apologies. 🤷
@bytebro @oliphant @ArtBear I hate to bring this up again (no I don't, who'm I kidding) but as a South African I disliked him ages ago for having basically said he doesn't give a crap about us. At least that's what it came down to.
@oliphant @bytebro @ArtBear That kinda explains it better to me. I realised he wasn't a legitimate scientist, but I thought he was at least a good business person. Turns out... not so much.
