When you’re told the children’s book is actually for grade 6 and up.

It’s definitely not an honest conversation when you’ve deliberately and repeatedly chosen to misunderstand what’s being said.

It’s time to grow up and stop believing hucksters and grifters.

For the third time, you cannot separate the grifter from the grift. That’s not “Fuck Elon”, that’s “starlink is not, and never will be, what was promised”

Similarly, you can’t weigh an abstract possibility versus a real cost. You want the conversation to be some philosophical discourse about social vs societal value. But it’s not that, it’s a real situation right now.

And in this real life situation, we have to evaluate what starlink actually is - - a failed toy for wealthy early adopters - - and not what some abstract “could be”.

Especially when we know for a fact that any public promises of that potential are certainly intended to mislead and not inform.

To my knowledge absolutely nothing critical to Ukranian defense uses Starlink.

And again, what is niave is to not heavily discount any claims Elon makes. Starlink provides neglible value currently, what potential might exist is imaginary.

The best thing for the world is to realize Elon was a sunk cost and move on

Okay but you’re falling into Elon’s trap. You can’t weigh future potential against current harm naively. Particularly when it comes from somebody with a long history of over promising and under delivering. Since we pay the full price up front (loss of science, etc) but will never reap the full benefits promised.

Someone finally read their book and now they’re angry about it lol

There’s no planet where a viable antitrust case exists. That is pure unbridled delusion.

Hey now, when I copy and paste from stack overflow, that’s called “development”

Every single example of means testing has been more expensive than just distributing the benefits to the people that ask for them.

Wasn’t that later revealed to be a hoax? It was during one of the major waves of legal advice trolls
