I don’t lie to anyone except my employer. They are not owed any explanation or insight into my personal life, and personally I feel that that is the only acceptable instance for me to lie at this point in my life.

Circumstances change, but I generally try and lie as little as possible.

Is everything a fucking dog?

Ah yes, the great American Bengal tiger. Our symbol of obedience and power. A cultural cornerstone you might say.

There is a carpet store and restaurant near my house, and in the three years I’ve lived here I can’t recall seeing anyone buy anything or even visit either store a single time.

Once my partner and I actually walked over to check it out and the carpet store was closed and all of the windows were covered. It was like 4 in the afternoon on a Wednesday, so I can’t imagine why it would be closed.

There’s supposedly a lot of Russian gang activity in my area, so I’m assuming it’s just a front for them but I’ve never really confirmed it.

I’ll look into it, thanks!

My favorite was Linux, but I got really into producing music and fl studio and all of my vsts don’t run in Linux afaik. I’m just not willing to throw away the money I’ve spent and try and find open source alternatives

You mean Americans are finding out that there is no meritocracy? Go fucking figure

I think it’s important to remember that musk has never actually done anything to innovate the companies he’s been a part of. He didn’t create PayPal, he just bought his way in and made a series of dumb suggestions. He didn’t create Tesla, he bought Tesla right after they had fine tuned their models, and then he made a series of changes that likely resulted in a worse product.

Elon Musk is not a good businessman, he’s just rich and has a habit of purchasing profitable companies. Anyone could do this with his wealth. I’m not even really convinced that he’s offered many technical ideas or designs for any of his companies, as it seems that would be the first thing he would mention every single time someone brought up one of his companies.

I used to use locations from Elder Scrolls, some people recognized a few and got a kick out of it but it’s otherwise just cool landscape art.
