This is him not knowing what friends are like. A person being nice to you because of they don’t they could lose their livelihood is not your friend.

A friend likes you for the person you are, and Musk is such an insufferable prick that he keeps pushing those away. Even the guys he tries to impress nowadays won’t stick with him but think his money is handy. He’s basically a cash cow getting milked and thinks that’s friendship.

Well leeches did make a comeback, there are the ones with the TikTok channel or in politics

I do that with regimes. I started out with Turkey, added Hungary and Israel, Russia, Philippines Saudi Arabia and quatar

Countries I’d visit are shrinking.

It was merely posturing to make Trump seem like a peacemaker. I’m curious what he had to give up to make that ‘deal’

Ceasefire pause to make Trump look good

Yup no pity

The republicans do ‘representation for no taxation’ but only for a select few

Better art than Garfunkel

I think the worms are the most intelligent part about the guy.

It worked in Poland

Musk found out that the people that like him now, after pissiing off the nerds and tech enthousiasts, base their world view on the works of Ayn Rand, who peached that empathy and governement help is bad.

Disregarding that Rand died penniless and on governement hand outs.

But musk will find out again that, no matter how much money he flings at it, nobody will like him for who he is and that void will eat him up though it may make him do more silly things. And That’s a shame

I fart in your general direction!

Yeah there can be oils and mayo that actually contains truffels, but on the whole they are usually artificially flavored.

Real truffels are intense in flavor, but don’t block out other flavor like those artificial flavors. It can be an awesome additive, but due to being expensive it’s often over used. In the type of money over substance way you described.

Lunch box vendors around the world:

Great victory, due to our efforts nobody has flat sandwiches anymore!

Also we have no potential customers left so we’ll go bankrupt

Nope it’s reminiscent of burning rubber and it’s a flavor that drowns almost everything else out. A consommer tv program in my country found out that they don’t even use real truffels in the making.

But it sounds expensive and is instantly recognizable by anyone. Just like the aesthetics of the rich, another poster was referring to. Loud, bland and very recognizable as ‘expensive’.

If you work for a boss that fundamentally misunderstands what you are doing, then misleading them into thinking you’re ‘hard at work, making decisions with consequences’ is the theatre you put up to keep the cash flowing.

It’s one of the fundamental flows of autocracy, people try and represent what you want them to

If he dislikes it so much, he can just leave the EU.

I’ve always had that dislike. I even do not wear clothes with text on them as I feel like I’m constantly saying that. Often the texts designers put on clothing is nonsensicalb stuff. F.i. Hollywood, I’m not from there, I’ve never been there, why would I want to say Hollywood the entire day?

There’s surprisingly little overlap between text people put on clothes and what I’d like them to say but there’s a shitload of clothes the people feel like it needs some text on it.

Anyway that’s my pet peeve.
