Transphobes who say their pronouns are beep/boop or something else in their bio underestimate my willingness to adhere to those pronouns

Elon Musk is a snake-oil salesman. He's never been a "tech genius," he's just good at marketing.

The "myth of the tech genius" is a myth because it's based primarily on people who are good at marketing themselves, which generally isn't a group that overlaps very fully with people who are actually intelligent.

Elon Musk’s Texts Shatter the Myth of the Tech Genius

The world’s richest man has some embarrassing friends.

Many of the ideas coming from his peanut gallery were equally poor. Döpfner, who is in charge of numerous media companies, including Insider and Politico, offered to run Twitter for Musk but seemed woefully unprepared for the task. In a novel-length text, Döpfner laid out his “#Gameplan” for the company, which started with the line item: “1.),, Solve Free Speech.” He alluded to vague ideas such as making Twitter censorship resistant via a “decentralized infrastructure” and “open APIs.” He’s similarly nonspecific with his suggestion that Twitter have a “marketplace” of algorithms. “If you’re a snowflake and don’t want content that offends you pick another algorithm,” he wrote Musk.

At one point in early April, Musk appears infatuated with his own idea to replace Twitter with a blockchain-based payment-and-message system. In a string of texts to his brother, the entrepreneur Kimbal Musk, he manages to convince himself that the idea could be huge and a way to crush spam while preserving free speech. In this preposterous scenario, users would have to pay a fractional amount of the cryptocurrency Dogecoin to post or retweet. Roughly 10 days later, Musk sends a different text noting that “blockchain Twitter isn’t possible.”

Additional info for those who are interested: If you find a difference when taking your ADHD meds with or without vitamin C, it might also be worth considering if it's just the placebo affect. Most people associate placebo effect with getting the positive effects of a medication from a placebo, but really it can cause any effects. Brains are great at convincing themselves that you're feeling something you aren't, just because you expected to feel The Thing.

If you're taking ADHD meds because you need them for ADHD, then you're taking theraputic doses which should already have fairly mild effects anyway. So it would not be hard at all to convince your brain that those mild effects should be more or less strong, just by expecting them to be more or less strong.

me, in the grocery store looking for ADHD med friendly breakfast juices squinting at cartons: any of you fuckers here got antiscurvy added in there??
