For proposal #4 it decided that the trees needed tiddies.

the content seemed to be less visible even to his subscribers

Am I the only one who still uses the subscriptions page? I get a chronological list of all my subscribed channel’s video releases. I have seen zero indication that I’m missing anything at all, and I fairly frequently go to channel’s pages to check that my subscription list is complete.

I’ve never clicked a single notification bell, and don’t rely on the home page’s recommendations/sorting, unless I’m actively seeking out new recommendations.

When I was in high school in the 90’s, we had a soda machine that was owned by the school, and had all the different brands - Coke, Pepsi, RC, etc.

One year, they took out the old, independent machines and replaced them with Pepsi machines that were owned by either Pepsi Co or some nameless vendor. They only contained Pepsi brand products - Pepsi, Mountain Dew, etc.

At first we were annoyed, but eventually… I’m now a Pepsi guy for life. I drastically prefer it to Coke or anything else.

At the time, their ad slogan was “The Choice of a New Generation” - And they ensured that by making contracts favorable to school district’s bottom lines in a successful attempt to groom me into being a Pepsi guy.

And it worked. I was groomed, and I still abide by my programming to this day, even while being fully aware of it.

If you think you’re immune to corporate programming because you’re aware of it and are a skeptic at heart - you aren’t.

The mad lady is also pointing with her thumb, which is surprisingly off-putting. And I love how the sleeve melds into the arm, that’s fashionable.

The quote from that biography is “It seemed that Musk…” - Using the phrase “Musk admitted” Is quite directly a lie.

The admission was never part of the original biography, nor the source article this is linking to. It was specifically added by the tooter, and was completely unnecessary.

Apparently today I’m that poor person. Now I just feel like a rube.

Elon Musk admitted

I’m not saying it isn’t true, but I’m not seeing any quote from him or link to an interview or anything. Just assertions from third parties of what his motives “seem” to be.

When you lie about shit like this, it undermines valid criticisms and makes anyone actually reading the original article question the trustworthiness of the source.

The Hyperloop was never meant to be built. It was all about fueling opposition to California’s high-speed rail project so it would get canceled.

That is a blurb that doesn’t resort to lies, and gets the same exact point across, without YOU looking like a liar.

You don’t need to lie about monsters to make them look bad. Just show facts about their monstrous actions.

If you’re spreading lies, regardless of intent, you’re part of the problem, not the solution.
