To clarify i think Elon musk’s autism is irrelevant to why I despise him, same as the autism of Jeffrey Dahmer has no bearing on why I hate him too.

Once you cross a line you can’t defend it even with autism.

I lived through post 9/11 bullshit and how they wanted to ban Muslims from the military, all the open racism and rhetoric. Same shit different day and target, it’s a right wing pattern they always follow

He did that a lot, last I read he was dating some 23 year old. He gets a pass after that trial cause he married someone crazier and more abusive than him, that trial proved Depp is also an abusive piece of shit and a psycho, those texts to Paul Bettany where Depp is asking him to help him rape and murder Amber Heard is wild. How did that alone not cancel him?

Dude also dates women barely out of their teens and then goes “why are the women i date crazy?” Maybe cause they’re young and you’re almost a senior, date women your age. Reminds me of the friend who is always saying “everyone I know causes drama” it’s you.

I felt that a lot of the Heard/Depp trial was red pill men happy to bury a woman and use her as an example of “women are the problem” thinking

Im Canadian and avoiding American products has saved me a lot of money, so much junk food we don’t need is American, and the off brand Canadian versions are even better and cheap. I never realized how much of my money went to American junk until this tariff thing, so I’ve stopped buying anything i don’t NEED

Add to this that people like Musk are autistic and as awful as he is, it’s shitty that people make fun of his for being a weirdo or a loser.

Not to defend billionaires but Lemmy is so weird, they’re always like “protect people on the spectrum! Accept neuro divergence!” But at the same time they’ll be like “that guy acts weird, what a loser!” I see it a lot around here, some celebrities who are autistic are fair game, some aren’t 🤷‍♂️

Jerry Seinfeld pops in my head. He’s autistic, when he was younger he liked women younger than him. Super common with autistic people who feel mentally younger so they like people who are more on their level, but he gets called a creep etc, despite not breaking any law.

Normal dudes like Johnny Depp are 60 and still chasing girls right out of high school and nobody cares

That’s bullshit. If that were true he would do like Malcolm x and Muhammad Ali and change his name legally. Besides that, why would he wanna be rid of his slave name when he’s a racist Nazi?

I recently watched that movie when I turned 40. It hits different when you’re older, when you’re a teen or young person half of it goes over your head. Especially how young people glorify it and the whole fight club thing, not grasping that the movie is about toxic masculinity among other things

You got downvoted because Lemmy users like knee jerk reactions and think that you can unmake a technology or idea. You can’t, Ai is here and it’s forever now. Best we can do is find ways to live with it and like you said, reward those who use it ethically. The Lemmy idea that Ai should be banned and not used is so unrealistic

They don’t mean directly, i guarantee that companies, service providers, etc that you are with do indeed use Ai. That’s what I took the headline to mean. Some facet of everyone’s life uses Ai now

Never gonna happen sadly, both prejudice and war are part of human nature

It’s called autism, And Lemmy will both defend autistic people and roast them/call them names depending on the thread

Dude im overweight and I don’t understand this “big boned” and “bbw” shit, you fat, call it what it is. You’re not thicc, you fat. I have a dad bod, im a fatty, calling myself soft names to try and make my fat a positive thing isn’t gonna motivate me to lose weight.

That was my first though, that airplane is gonna have a direct line to the government of Qatar

Stop calling him Ye, it’s so cringe and stupid. His name is Kanye West and he’s a black white supremacist

Their military excuse is actually that a person who switches gender can’t be honest and committed, which is just as crazy, it still has that view that people “choose” to be trans and by choosing to be trans they should a lack of commitment to their birth gender i guess??

It’s not possible to have prosperity and peace globally, it’s just not human nature. So even in the most prosperous utopia, war and shit always gonna happen. Reminds me of the bio shock quote “even in an equal utopia someone has to scrub the toilets”

Ok but that’s hardly what this post is talking about, and tbh the Roman’s gave us a run for their money with climate change and we’re lucky they didn’t have fossil fuels

I feel like it’s always been? I read a lot of history and there’s not many instances of peace and prosperity for all. Things considered im happy i live in the modern world, wish I could live in the pre 9/11 sweet spot, shit wasn’t off the deep end as far as it is now, and homes were affordable

Like tinker bell!
