So was I. It was nothing compared to what’s to come with AI.

Equilateral mostly. No good side to it whatsoever.

Well they sure have no qualms wrecking the very fabric of society and enshittifying everything trying to recoup their investment in job-busting technology.

When this particular bubble bursts, it’s gonna make one helluva bang.

Knowing you have another half century left

I hate to break it to you, but that’s unlikely.

When you’re 50 in the US, you have a little less than 30 springs left on average. a few more if you live in a country with a functional healthcare system.

Think about it: when you turn 50, you’ll only get to say “summer is coming” 30 times. Merry Chrismas or Happy New Year to your family 30 times. Or “I’ll do it next year” 30 times. And when you’re 50, you know 30 years pass quickly.

And that’s if the big C or COVID or something equally stupid doesn’t get you first.

To the OP: enjoy your youth while you can. It’ll be over before you know it. Trust me on this one.

I match your desired timeline and I’d take yours any day.

When you get to 50, you’ll understand.

He’s obviously fucked in the head in many more ways than one

Aren’t all leaders?

For politicians, it takes a particular mindset to think you’re the solution to other people’s problems and run for any election. I instantly distrust people who thrust themselves in the limelight and propose to rule others for their own good.

As for CEO’s, it’s very well known that a disturbing percentage of them display psychopathic traits.

Critics argue that the monarchy lacks the unilateral power to dissolve Parliament under the 2022 Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act.

Is that what “critics” argue about?
How about the massive South African white elephant in the room:

Why the fuck should Charles even acknowledge Musk’s noises?

If I was Charles, I’d offer Elon Musk a knighthood to piss him off.

Musk would have to choose between stoking his gigantic ego with the title at the cost of giving up any post in the federal government as per article I, section 9, clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution or humiliate himself and refuse the title to keep running the orange utan he’s invested billions in.

Just read whatever you find anywhere and leave out the opinionated bits.

In other words, you can safely assume the hows, whens, wheres and to a certain extent the whys are accurate and not made up, and anything else - particularly whether he was right or wrong, the bits about whether his victim was right or wrong, whether the cops are lying, whether the McD employee is evil, whether Mangione should be freed or fried… is all a bunch of ultra-biased hogwash, regardless of the bias.
