I mean, it’s not for purely altruistic reasons…

Lead fucks people up and slowly turns them into rage addicted assholes.

We got enough of those these days, I’d like the amount to go down over the next couple decades. So I never skip a chance to talk about the dangers of lead exposure

The good news is it’s not something that really changes.

Just test your home once, it’s not like you need to constantly monitor it.

I boil mine because I like the way it tastes–it’s sweeter

That’s actually a really bad sign…

The most likely thing to make water taste sweet is lead, and heating up water with lead makes it even sweeter.

And that’s 100% a problem you need to look out for in America.

Volume.

On Reddit I browsed “new” or “rising” and just subs I was subscribed too was enough for a steady stream of content.

On Lemmy even including all instances, there’s not a whole lot on “new”.

Which is good, because it makes it easier to find communities to subscribe too and also the problematic ones so you can block them and never see them again.

But low users mean most communities are dead. There’s a Fantasy Football sub for example, there’s 3 other people on it tho, so it won’t really be very useful this season.

They navigated by getting text messages from the ship…

That’s fucking insane when you’re going miles under the sea

Also, there’s no way to open it from the inside, they’re bolted in.

So even if they surfaced, they’ll still run out of air if they’re not found soon.

Twitter will abide by the law but will not go further, Musk said during the interview. He claimed hate speech had decreased by 30 percent since he took over, even as Lapix presented him with statistics saying the opposite — including a study by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue exposing a 105 percent increase in antisemitic posts.

Pressed by the interviewer, the billionaire, a self-proclaimed freedom of expression absolutist, said the definition of hate speech shouldn’t be too broad or it could lead to censorship. Shown tweets rejoicing about the migrant boat disaster off Greece last week, Musk conceded they were “distasteful” but should remain online as long as they’re not illegal.

His definition of hate speech is just shit he disagrees with.

He agrees with anti-lgtbq and antisemitism, so to him, that’s not hate speech

Because the building was an asset during the sale…

On paper it was “smart” to have it there because it was a tangible asset. Long term it was a waste of money, but canceling would have been worse before the sale because it would have been an immediate loss affecting the price.

Just kicking the can down the road

Also, people like him care about the high score.

Losing 50% of his wealth wouldn’t change his lifestyle. But it would destroy his ego and make him keep making rasher decisions until it’s all gone.

He’ll keep taking risks he doesn’t need to, and since he’s leveraging against other holdings, it becomes a house of cards situation real quick.

There was escrow fail-safes.

If they didn’t pay, there was funds sitting there to avoid downtime.

Took a while to burn through them, then they never got replenished.
