Despite very credible allegations, Biden was never convicted of raping raping Tara Reade. And his daughter's recollections of him inappropriately showering with her outlasted any statute of limitations. But I see where you're going, there. The rest is a good fit, right down to the weaponized government, for sure. The plot twist is that the real kingpins are behind the scenes, using him as a puppet. It's good villain story line material fresh from real life.

The "current crisis" is manufactured and amplified externally. Nobody is doxxing Tesla owners with maps using Molotov cocktails as map cursors or burning lots full of vehicles in for service in some way that is a function of whether Musk is personally present on the factory floor vs doing something else he thinks is vital to our economic survival. All of it is ginned up hate based on the politics surrounding the pruning of vast left slush funds and debt-funded waste that has to go away. That's an entire industry with vested interests, and acting against it certainly brings out the coordinated hate, attacks on stock value, media smearing, and of course thousands of people who now say he's a nazi though they can't actually articulate why they think that.

No, him being "on the factory floor" or off it doesn't precipitate some "current crisis," except in the sense that entrenched interests currently having their oxen gored by drying up things like the NGO money laundering industry are doing their best to try to wreck the company to make a point.

So the people who made it should have been earning minimum wage, is that your point? Spread that dollar amount across five and half yeads and even modest team of people and their overhead, and they're making middle five figures after taxes. Is that a lot, to you?

It took five and a half years to make it. So, in perhaps over-simplified terms, that's ~$670k year working on it. Let's say you had six people working on the project, and had NO overhead at all beyond their personal income while making it. That's roughly $100k per person before they paid taxes, which is either pretty good or not very good at all, depending on where you live and how. But one supposes they also had some overhead. This wasn't done on their kids' laptops at night. There was music to compose, audio to record and design, and a lot more.

So, yeah. "Just" 3.7M is a fair characterization.

No, we just voted the tyrannical little statists out of office. And the people you're now laughably calling Fascists are busy exposing and tearing down the very tools that an actual Fascist government would (and did) use. Fascists don't cut off the cash supply to money-laundering NGOs that are making their pet politicians richer and more personally powerful. Fascists don't work to shut down the mechanisms by which the government can censor your social media use. Your case of projection is pretty impressive.

You know what Fascists do? They try to hide the money movement that keeps their circle of power functioning. Our little lefty statists are busy shrieking that the lead of the executive branch shouldn't be allowed to see the records showing where the executive branch has been writing checks. Gee, what would they be hiding? Their little circle of industrial-scale grift and waste and abuse is getting exposed, and they're furious about it. And here you are having their backs. Pretty ugly. Do you live off of dubious international grant kickbacks or something?

Yes, Twitter was much better when someone in the Biden administration could write an email to a partisan activist working there and get people perma-banned for expressing doubt that Biden was handling things well. The good ol' days, right? Or are you just mad that now there are Community Notes calling the lying left out on the propaganda BS they used to choke Twitter with, and had Twitter staff available to ban anyone who called them out on it? Yeah, that must be frustrating for you.

Every single bit of shrill shriekery I hear that comes anywhere close to that on my X feed comes from the wanna-be tyrants on the left who crave the power to silence other people rather than counter things they don't want to hear with better thoughts of their own. Your own absurd ad hominem right here in this post is a great example of the craven screaming. I'm sure you liked that the Democrats - who called people deplorable garbage - used to be able to silence anyone who pointed out their duplicity and corruption.

Yes, when prominent Democrats talk out loud about sending people away for reprogramming, it's nice indeed to be able to speak out loud about it. Obviously, you'd prefer that people talking about that and sharing videos of people like Clinton saying it were silenced, just the way those prominent Democrats like it. Someone pointed out their creepy policy wishes? Cancel them! Just they way YOU'D like it, right?

Yes, when the Biden family rakes in millions of dollars from China and Russia and spreads it around the in-laws and the kids and dodges taxes on it while visibly selling federal policy actions, or the DNC launders millions of dollars in foreign money through Act Blue to try to buy Harris a presidency, or Nancy Pelosi becomes worth untold millions through blatant insider trading, it's nice to be able to talk about it instead of being silenced. I know, you'd prefer such conversations were silences, like in the good ol' days when Twitter had federal agents with offices in their HQ, ready to Orwell for you.

What are you talking about? Tens of thousands of deaths from fentanyl, crime, and human trafficking over the border deliberately opened wide by Biden's handlers? Untold thousands dead in wars that broke out only once his handlers signaled weakness and wars broke out on his watch? Yes, it's nice to be able to have open conversations about all of those lives lost, instead of such speech being muzzled by people like you, and those you obey.

Oh, and tracking of the population in a panopticon, by the state.

Reducing farmland domestically in a nation. What could possibly go wrong?

Then they can buy the dead corpse.

Yay! Windows 10 is approaching "end of security lifespan!", and my computer "cannot upgrade to Windows 11!"

Hooray, Microsoft!

I assume with Windows 11 there's a direct pipine of the content of every file to Microsoft for advertising analysis.

Precisely this. Whether the current version of the OS gets backports of security patches, or the OS gets upgraded to the latest version, I don't really care. But the regularity and consistency of vulnerabilities being discovered is not something to ignore, and I certainly would not be running a PC on the internet without constant security patches.

Androids biggest fail point is the fact that it can't receive security patches from a central release, so each and every device model requires time and a budget from the manufacturer. The longest support period I have found is 2 years, and I am not ready to throw my phone in the bin and buy another one, simply because the manufacturer wants to keep selling new product.

All I want is a phone that gets security updates for the lifetime of the device. I'm so over Android phone manufacturers leaving me with a perfectly adequate piece of hardware that has to run an outdated OS and gets no further updates after their decided support period. Will this OS be better than Android for ongoing patches and updates?

Customer service? You just haven't been irritating enough to drive me away yet.

Not bad for something that plays Quake without the softeare renderer.

I though Grammarly fixed up your existing sentences, which would be ok, except maybe in the grammar units of a class.
  But of course it includes LLM AI to generate answers to questions. Nowadays so, too, do most dog bowls.
