..."I can't wait for the brain chip! And for musk to have all my data to harvest, tracking me from an inch within my life. And the NYT should all be hung for controlling us all..."UK Musk fans be like, 'yes, I will close down my FSCS-assured bank accounts and move all my money to a website that gives it to rapists, sex traffickers and fascists'.
I guess it's another Musk Lie. Like 'Self Driving will be here next year' for every year since 2015 or '1,000,000 people on Mars by 2050'. Whether it's delusion or hype who knows?Meanwhile, Musk is still delusional:

Many years ago when this site and the internet were still in their infancy, trolling was a thing that some of the kids did and sometimes, yep, it could be amusing.Putting effort and skill into being a cunt still makes you a cunt.
I spend a lot of time thinking about the way the world has changed in the last twenty years. Sure, I am / we are getting older, but there's more at work. Gone are the days when a conspiracy theory was a bit of laugh (lunar landings, alien autopsy, etc).Now we're older, the internet (and most of us) have changed and things like misogyny, casual homophobia, general fucking about etc are rightly challenged.

Conspiracy theories are entertaining/absorbing/great fun to read. Not so when they become movements/common parlanceI spend a lot of time thinking about the way the world has changed in the last twenty years. Sure, I am / we are getting older, but there's more at work. Gone are the days when a conspiracy theory was a bit of laugh (lunar landings, alien autopsy, etc).
It's all became so damn serious - and rightly so, because the threats have gotten real. The trolls are meaner and nastier. Mostly they're not even trolling. They are actually bad people with vile opinions. Ugg. Thank god for the urban oasis.
There are, sadly, probably a few million people in the world who would give Musk their entire financial life if he asked them."...it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year."
er... what?
“When I say payments, I actually mean someone’s entire financial life,” Musk said
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
What a fucking idiot.
Too easy to ignore though. I've actually got Phil on ignore but the way he's still managed to completely ruin just about every thread on the politics forums is impressive though obviously sad as fuck for an Oxbridge educated university professor who must be in his 50s at least.Teuchter is bloody genius at trolling, they manage to wind up people up, while they themselves carry serenely on. That takes effort and skill.
I include myself in the group Teuchter winds up.
The good old days, watching X files, the JFK film, reading Fortean times and stoned conversations about temporal lobe seizures and out-of-body experiences. Not the same anymore.I spend a lot of time thinking about the way the world has changed in the last twenty years. Sure, I am / we are getting older, but there's more at work.

Both still exist but unfortunately we amplify the crazier people now. Social media, online media but also all of us. I guess people on the edge are ultimately more of a story and now they're just a scroll and a share away.I spend a lot of time thinking about the way the world has changed in the last twenty years.

teuchter if you are bothered by what I posted please let me know and I'll delete it. I don't want to come across as bullying at all, and I honestly don't mean it in a bullying way.
What's a "wum"?The conflation of trolls with wums was the biggest error of early internet culture.
Wind-up merchant - someone doing it to get a reaction.What's a "wum"?
He wrote an article noting that he deliberately took positions to cause reactions.In fairness "success" implies he's doing it deliberately. Which if he is, fair play, he does an incredible impression of a complete idiot.
Only because others insist on constantly replying though. I wish more people just ignored him, and some others, would save a lot of threads from being trashed.Too easy to ignore though.

In the old days, we all knew Don’t Feed The Troll. They get bored and wonder off of nobody bites.But then the threads become filled with Dwyer's unanswered bollocks which looks to any new readers like the site agrees with it all. There's a better way to deal with threads being trashed like that

Instead we have the ridiculousness of people allegedly of the ‘left’ going out to bat for libertarian billionaires. These people are on rails, guided by algorithms, yet preach about freedom.It’s a shame cos there is of course issues with how the state is structured in the whole apparatus of our societies, that requires so much more analysis (and thought) than the gibbering horseshit of “truthers” and the like.
