Isn't Tesla business profits down like 80 percent when adjusting for the ev credits and Bitcoin sales?

I got into an argument tonight with someone. They tried to argue against my comment. "The entirety of the stock market is speculation". They didn't get very far.

I was trying to explain exactly this to them. The market is irrational and wrong.

But then you have to acknowledge the name change.

Can we just call it the Quwitter?

I referenced the guy who stood in front of the tanks the day after the Tiananmen Square incident on Lemmy the other day. Then I went to bed. When I woke up, I had a reply from a guy saying it was fake.

I was just waking up. I thought it was some young kid who was claiming the tank guy was AI images or something. Which would be bullshit.

But no. As I woke up, and clicked the link he provided, it turned out to be a 45 minute youtube video claiming the Tiananmen Square massacre never happened.

I only saw maybe 30 seconds of the video before turning it off.

The first thing he says is something to the effect of "Now just because there's videos, and photos, and witness accounts of the Tiananmen Square massacre happening, doesn't mean it actually DID happen!"

Instantly closed the tab. Oh, it's one of THOSE people.

I innitially thought he was trying to say tank man was a conspiracy or something. Bo, he was saying the entire incident NEVER happened, despite mountains of evidence it did.

I wonder why Twix didn't catch on as a mockunominal for that social media platform. Mars or whoever owns the brand missed an opportunity. On the other hand, I haven't had one in a long time, but I recall Twix being a particularly delicious treat, so perhaps it is best that name not be besmirched.

That's the sick part, so long as Elmo doesn't affect there lives, they just see it as "entertainment."

Too little, too late, but it's still better than never at all.

I know way too many people who only used Twitter for sports. But after /r/nfl and /r/nba and all the sports subreddits blocked Twitter, I think a lot of the organic sports activity will die off.

Do the Qweeters get a whole year's salary?

Bluesky and Pixelfed are pretty good arguments for at minimum logging out of Twitter/Facebook/Instagram if not going all the way and closing your accounts there entirely.

And I bet Meta's recent Linux crackdown is going to start steering people away from Facebook and Instagram to boot.

I had one a few days ago for the first time in many years, it wasn't as good as I had remembered.

Welcome to China!!! It’s not just that singular incident either, but that’s definitely the go-to. I just can’t trust anything or anyone not willing to accept their faults. These are things we learn from. If we forget them, we get Nazis! Or whatever the Chinese equivalent of them is, the CCP?
