Really?
Like he really wants to do that?
Fine. Do it. See which states halt their contributions. Then good luck funding those other states. The states he wants election authority in can afford to get cut off. The ones he doesn't need it in are parasite states anyway.
Eh, what's the worst that can happen?
Because that's probably what it will be.
This is weird to me. Something doesn't add up with all of this.
The SEC suit mentioned something like ~$150m which ended being like 19¢ a share. That is small enough to easily be an error. But Musk bought it for $54.20/share, so the price "would have been" $54.39/share.
In a takeover bid, the offer is usually a direct offer to senior management/board as the largest shareholders. We know that they attempted a poison pill (basically it allows existing shareholders to purchase new shares at a discount, effectively diluting the ownership percent and driving the takeover bid price up). But that's where it gets murky.
There either wasn't enough interest in Twitter for the poison pill, or something else we don't know changed the mind of the board to sell it to Musk.
What I don't get is how Musk managed complete ownership at the price of $54.20. Was there not a single shareholder that didn't want to sell? Did the poison pill purposely scrap the shareholder rights of shareholders forcing them to all sell?
Who fucked up? Did Musk really try to save 0.3% on purchase of a company? Did the board and management agree that it was a sinking ship anyway and used the poison pill to abandon ship?
Who profited from the sale? Certainly not Musk, it was valued 65% lower in 2023. He also bought it for the propaganda tool it was. We know that.
What is it that we aren't seeing? They aren't saying? What really transpired in the bid?
Man, it's like when I found out you have to clean your dishwasher, washing machine, and garbage disposal.
"You mean they don't always smell bad?"
"Stop trying to pull me off. The headaches are because you keep trying to separate us."
The same way cutting the budget of poorly performing schools makes students more successful.
I'm sure they're also aware of the risk of forming an actual resistance.
An armed resistance can't form with such prominent figures. The GOP would see to that.
Additionally, it would fundamentally break OPSEC of who is organizing it. Public figures are easy targets for the FBI.
Suspend everything you know for a moment and pretend that Waltz was actually a member of the resistance. He's the one that pulled the journalist into the Signal group. In this pretend world, he did it so that he could show how bad the administration is at their own OPSEC. He would have to then maintain the cover of being a good right-wing nut job less he be found out.
Ok we can turn back to reality now, because we all know if that were true, Waltz would be dead. But my point is, a good resistance is quiet until actions are taken. But to build a resistance, you also need people who can get connected, in big cities, and know that there are other like minded people. Would be a real shame if like, 34,000 people turned up to one of these protests and started talking about things that they can do together to fight back.
If by MAPS you mean 'mind-altering-psychoactive-substance' no. Just regular hypnotherapy. With scripts and calm music and all.
I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD prior to it, so I sort of chalk it up to my wild as shit imagination doing crazy stuff with the prompts. I was probably 14 at the time?
It's also only happened once, was pretty damn vivid, but more fascinating than creepy.
The thing said to me "stop trying to pull me off. The headaches are because you keep trying to separate us."
How crazy would it be if it was those tentacled creatures that talked to me during a hypnosis session
.... Yes
I couldn't figure out how to spell it lol
I do not know what you are talking about. I certainly never heard of DIY cheap foam board planes you could pop a fpv camera on and fly. Certainly never would mention the word flite and test in the same sentence because I'd worry about foam board or youtube videos or a particular group getting shut down.
Look i just found out this year too, don't panic. Go to the grocery store, find a thing called "affresh". It does the job.
It's basically a powder acid. Anything that gets water on it has some buildup and sometimes mold n stuff that gets left around and the acid stuff eats it away.
I'm pretty sure you can use vinegar to do it too.
