    Elon, you don’t need to apologize for anything.

    You’ve shown the people you were trying to impress, exactly who you are. A liar, a cheat, a pay2win newb pretending to be hot shit but failing terribly on it, the worst kind of gamer that most gamers have encountered.

          He pops up literally everywhere. It’s fucking infuriating. I wish he’d just make some really really really really really bad life choices and end up on the street, eating from a dumpster and being criminalised for trying to survive.

              Nah, too easy. He’d only have a minute tops of consciousness, with an arterial bleed like that, to mull over where it all went wrong. I’d definitely rather have him relegated to the most vulnerable section of society, and struggling to stay alive for at least a decade.

                It’s a trade off between time of punishment vs chance of being rescued. I hate using the phrase, but… agree to disagree?

      Like Donald Trump, I just assume he’s lying if sounds are coming out of his mouth.

      He lost the benefit of the doubt in 2018 when he falsely accused a rescue worker of being a pedophile.

              He got out in front of his PR operation on that one, but a lot of leftists had him pegged long before that incident. It was obvious that he was funding an astroturf campaign to deify himself, and he has always been rabidly aggressive to worker’s rights.

          Republicans like to complain about perjury traps, but that was an actual perjury trap. Starr was playing word games the whole time. People focus on Continue answers being ridiculous, but those are the kinds of things you have to say to combat the absurd questions he was being asked. Bill is still a piece of shit, but this whole thing was political theatre.

    What cracks me up is I prefer pve. I like cooperative play but not really competitive play in games. It always seemed to me the pvp community had so many people looking to get an advantage or were ok with cheating. Funny thing is it does not even matter if you cheat in pve as its just your own gameplay. I mean like in doom I would do the full map cheat when I got to the exit to go back and get everything but I did not want it till I got through the level. I mean its still cheating but there is a reason I did not use the unlimited ammo or health or such codes.

    It’s interesting that his thought process is, “It’s not cheating, everyone does it which means this is fine!”

    I mean, the thought process he’s admitting to here is interesting in light of Trump thanking Musk for “He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.”

      Not exactly “interesting” - he’s just deeply narcissistic. Here’s a handy guide:

      "That didn’t happen.

      And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

      (Current story sits here)

      And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

      And if it is, that’s not my fault.

      And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

      And if I did, you deserved it."
