Both of these people could fall off a cliff in a burning Tesla and nothing of value would be lost.

In an interesting plot twist, it would actually be a net positive for said Tesla brand in the long run, too.

That's how you get forest fires though.

Hey, don't disregard the value of scrap metal!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

The scrap metal was MADE in the event!

Honestly don't care about Elon's PoE 2 account. Nor do I care much about Asmongold as a person, I only have a single important question:

What's with gaming streamers/youtubers trying to look like Jesus? GN Steve gets a pass, he's Tech Jesus and everyone knows it. What's up with Asmongold and that Penguinz guy though?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

By "look like Jesus" do you mean they are white guys with long hair and facial hair?

I think you might underestimate how easy it is to grow your hair out and stop shaving and instantly become a Jesus look-alike. No effort needed.

Also, these two dudes look extremely different from each other and obviously they look nothing like Jesus who was a 5 and 1/2 ft tall brown skinned Semite.

I mean, I walked into the church hall for the daughter of my friends' baptism and everyone paused to look at me, even the priest. I even overhead "it's Jesus" from the mother who was 2 pews in front of me.

Seeing the bewilderment and expressions of everyone was just magical.

Maybe wearing a white toga and a thorn crown was a bit much for a church visit

Should have started asking for money bro

By "look like Jesus" I do indeed mean the popular modern western depiction of Jesus, because as far as I know, there's no conclusive proof of a historical Jesus existing, and if he did, he was obviously not a modern European-origin American man.

As for the second point - idk, it might just be because I can't grow a decent full beard, but after the first centimeter or 2 of facial hair, I just get told to shave because it's not funny anymore. I also can't imagine letting my hair grow for several years to get it as long as those guys. I thought one of the perks of being a man is that you get to be comfortable instead of spending years growing out your hair and shit lol

I go from Three musketeer to wizard of the Court in about 1 month. Generally I just prefer not to cut my hair, but it will reach full length in about 1 year and then just stop growing any longer.

These guys seem like they also chose this hairstyle because it's just less work and you spend less time being uncomfortable.

Constantly shaving all the time sucks.

Oh, thank you, Vice! I didn't know Asmongold was worse than Hitler.

Garbage journalism what a joke. Fuck, I still remember when Vice was relevant and renowned for the work.

Isn't it weird that he's the top player in PoE2 AND Diablo IV?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Plus a highly involved, successful CEO for multiple companies! I believe any of that is true as much as I believe he's a free speech absolutist.

Do you think he pays Chinese teenagers to run his companies

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

I wouldn't be surprised given the decisions he has made at Tesla alone.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 hours ago

I like to think this is the start of something important, Musks gaming account, realising that we can seriously sidetrack Trump by calling him the vice president and weird. The public is learning how to enact our own kind of political manipulation.

For once Asmongold's outrage baiting worked in our favour
