Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

You guys aren't gonna like to hear this, but being super wealthy and successful is always going to confer some degree of cool.

That being said it doesn't sound like they are doing this because they think it's fun/sexy. The users in this article all seem to frame their usage in the context of mental health. While the merits are questionable, it's objectively better than some Wall Street exec doing coke or slamming booze. I feel like a better article would be questioning government policy that allows billionaires to experiment with psychedelics, but ensures that an actual FDA approved treatment that the average joe could access will never happen.

I can't help but notice these authors all exclusively focus on tech, while giving other high compensation and influential industries a pass. It really feels like a ton of journalists have a personal vendetta against tech that goes beyond the substance of any of their actions.

The uncomfortable truths I was referring to was a culture of anti male sexism in parts of the democratic party, as well as a consistent minimization of issues affecting young men.x

this is basically the only thing they post about, what the fuck

I swear I need to stop reading Lemmy. Every second I stay on here is a second I get closer to staying home on election day out of pure spite.

hello fellow democrats all this anti-male sexism in our party is making me want to not vote haha am I right or am I right????

At some point, that just becomes unfair to the grass.

LOL no-one who is really fucking rich is "cool".

Look at the world's richest people. Felon. Zuck. Saltman. Warren Fucking Buffet.

They're about as cool as used toilet paper.

you guys aren't gonna like to hear this, but I love the taste of boot. I love to lick every inch of the boot. god yes, every inch has to be glistening and wet. I have to make sure to get all of the gravel out of the treads. the point is I'm thorough. anyway none of you understand normal people

Sure...
More often than not it's a negative degree, though.

So cool.

(Also, success is extremely relative; ask the previous example's children how successful he is as a father figure, for instance...)

OMG, Elon is just a rich lolcow. If he didn't have the money and the "correct" opinions, he would be a target on kiwifarms.
