      I’ve just heard that he’s signed up to a cage fight with Elon. Gonna be fun seeing Elon’s disjointed wrist after he punches through thin air

        Elon just gets triggered by water rescues / submarines and needed some attention.

        Remember when he called that hero thai navy diver guy a pedo because he said elon’s sub wasn’t useful in rescuing those kids trapped in a cave? Apparently rich people and submarine pissing contents is a thing.

        Under no circumstances will precious elon actually risk getting punched in the head, more’s the pity.

        They’re going to be both in fully padded, bubblewrapped crashproof outfits with at least three lawyers in each corner and fall away caging that disintegrates when you blow on it.

          3 lawyers on each corner might not be a bad thing, they’re never going to take the other down in a cage match of all things, but if their lawyers get involved they’re going to waste away their time and money on this conflict instead of making life harder for us!

    Indeed. My only regret about this whole dying-in-a-submarine-from-hubris deal is that Elongated Muskrat wasnt also a passenger. Bezos is a douchebag too, but at least hes only being a capitalist exploiter and not an actual enabler of fascism.

    I found an old trash can laying on the side of the highway so I went to hardware store and bought a $3 roll of duck tape. If anyone wants to drive my new experimental uncertified submarine to the Challenger Deep hmu.

      I’m going to have to look at how you are driving it. I don’t want to see any fancy wires or anything, and I played Wave Race 64 back in the day so I’m pretty sure I can drive it if you use one of those controllers.

        If you have a hull breach in space, supposedly you have up to a few minutes to fix it or put a suit on. 4000m below the surface, you have none.

        Either one you could get trapped and suffocate, though, so I think I’m happy on land.

              Not for very long, but not for the reasons countless sci-fi movies and shows have told you: you’ll neither explode nor freeze to death.

              People think of vacuum as something massive, but it’s actually just 1 bar difference.

              Atmospheric pressure is (roughly) 1 bar, which is comparable to 10 m of water. So getting put in a vacuum is like ascending from a 10 m dive.

              You don’t implode at 10 m depth, and you also don’t swell up on Mount Everest, which is roughly at 0.3 bar.

              The biggest threat to your life is the actual decompression.

              If you’re abruptly thrown into the vacuum, and you don’t manage to exhale immediately, the air in your lungs will expand and rip your lungs. Which is one of the biggest dangers of diving.

              But more likely is that it‘ll just rip the air out of your body, which probably isn’t good for either your lungs nor your intestines.

              You won’t freeze to death, because there’s no medium to transport the energy away, so you’ll only lose heat through the actual radiation, which takes pretty long. Much longer than in cold water, anyway.

              Also, your blood won’t boil, since it’s protected by the skin. Maybe the exposed areas, your eyes, your saliva.

              So, if you survive the initial decompression, your chances aren’t that bad, after all.

              Wealth tells nothing about what one is like as a person. If you hate someone just because they’re wealthy while knowing nothing else about them then you’re no different from one that hates people because of the color of their skin. You don’t hate them because of what they do but because of who they are.

                No, because wealth isn’t who you are, it is what you do. You own a business, you run a company, you are an investor, you are a politician. Every method of acquiring or keeping personal wealth beyond the physical things in your house, the physical possessions you bought with your money and the money itself, relies on your ability to own something that other people use. You inherit a company, you rent out property, you become an investor. All these things rely on you maintaining ownership over information, property, and systems. That isn’t a passive choice. That is supporting the enrichment and maintenance of systems which currently represent the largest danger to living things on this earth in the last few thousand years, ecocidal and homocidal systems of oppression which represent a grave threat to countless species on earth, and contribute to the death and illness of millions of human beings. Being as wealthy as a billionare represents the hoarding of such a massive quantity of resources that actual human beings are starving to death or living in desolate poverty in the modern era. The failure to put our vast resources towards alleviating human suffering, ending poverty, ending disease, ending hunger, ending war, ending climate change, are the direct result of a system like this, which concentrates so much wealth in the hands of so few. No. Wealth tells me a lot about who somebody is as a person. A wealth like Elon Mush or Jeff Bezos is the direct result of horrific exploitation, bigotry, and cruelty whose impact can be felt on the scale of nations. Billions are diverted into the pockets of individual men, instead of towards the common good. People starve as Jeff Bezos flies a dildo into space. People die of preventable illness while Elon Musk buys a piece of the internet millions of people use to talk to each other. And they own enough of the world that they can steer public policy.

                Even if you don’t agree with me here, this is why people want Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk to die, because they are the beneficiaries of a system which grants them massive undemocratic influence on the fate of billions of people. We all have to care about this fuckers, because the infrastructure they control shapes the course of our lives. Tell me, who would you trust with that amount of power? Why should any of us tolerate this kind of control over our lives? How are we served by systems which fail to prevent the deterioration of our biosphere, the health and safety of our loved ones, and the privacy of our lives? Maybe you don’t believe that men like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are this way, or you believe that there is no other way for the world to work, but others think differently. Who believe that wealth on the scale of a billionaire is itself a danger to our lives, that such power should belong to nobody. That if we are faced with the opportunity to save lives, make people happier, healthier, and safer, refusing to put our resources towards that goal is by itself an injustice. Naw, fuck Jeff Bezos. Fuck Elon Musk. The world would literally be better off without people like them.

                  Wealth is a vague term. If we’re speaking about billionaires then I agree that there’s probably not many who have aquired their wealth without oppressing anyone else but the hate towards all wealthy people including millionaires is narrow sighted. You can be wealthy and a genuinely good person at the same time; Keanu Reeves for example. That’s why I disagree with such black and white blanket statements. It’s much more nuanced than that. You need more metrics than just wealth.

        I wouldn’t say it’s about how rich and successful they are, it’s more that they benefit from a system that brutalizes so many. And they’re not just participating in it, they’re actively enabling it. Hell, i don’t know about musk, but bezos had his part in shaping it.
