I listened to 4ish hrs of Behind the Bastards on musk. No way am I doing that again, in any form.
I spent 5 minutes learning about his apartheid supporting parents, the emerald mine, and how he never actually accomplished anything but just lied about it when buying companies.
Oh an watched 10 seconds of his Nazi salute. Those 5 minutes and 10 seconds were enough.
Right? Read something here maybe, about buying leveled game characters so he could live play to an audience in an attempt to…I don’t even know…indirectly buy peers and conversation?
Which ties in with all that BoB stuff on him having zero friends.
Yeah at least with behind the bastards you can have a morbid laugh along and just how utterly shitty the man has always been. And those of us that have followed the show have known for years and more what a horrible person he is. A serious dry documentary would just be brutal. But necessary for the poorly adjusted normal people.
The reverend doctor does make horrific monsters far more palatable to hear about.
Four hours?!🤮
Hell, I’m surprised anyone can stomach him for that long (marriages? how?), let alone sitting still the whole time.
Did someone strap you in first, A Clockwork Orange style? 😅
They were separate podcasts spread across commutes. But yea. I listened to the Theil and Zuckerberg casts too. Then, I stopped listening at all. I wonder why.
There are so many podcasts out there that’re worthy of your perusal that don’t increase one’s justifiable ennui.
Just off the top of my head:
- No such thing As A Fish
- The Bad Spot
- The Constant
- Dollop
- No such thing as a fish - Award-winning podcast from the QI offices in which the writers of the hit BBC show discuss the best things they’ve found out this week. Hosted by Dan Schreiber (@schreiberland) with James Harkin (@jamesharkin), Andrew Hunter Murray (@andrewhunterm), and Anna Ptaszynski (#GetAnnaOnTwitter)
- The bad spot - Couldn’t find it
- The constant - A podcast about exactly what it says it is: examining the bad ideas, mistakes and accidents that misshaped our world.
- Dollop - couldn’t find it
My sincere apologies, I completely forgot to go back later and add links, but good on ya for doing what so many won’t! 🤘🏼
LMK if this works for The Bad Spot, though the YT channel’s here, if that’s better for ya.
Oh, and I forgot, it’s The Dollop, so give this a listen.
Thank you!!
Happy to helpa fellow geek branch out! Happy rabbit-holing! 🖖🏼
Also, IMHO, the first campaign of TBS is the best, though the others have their own charm —maybe just not my preferred kind? Anyhow, they differ widely in theme and scope, so I’m sure you’ll find something that engages if not inspires you!
I had to stop listening entirely as well. That show definitely had and effect on my mental well-being.
I caught on to Kaptain Ketamine’s fascism very late in the game, but I was never an actual fan. I worked with loads of tech people, see, and when I heard them speak and compared it to how Kaptain Ketamine spoke, I knew pretty much right from the start he didn’t know a damned thing; that he was just slinging jargon to baffle journalists with bullshit.
So as his increasingly obvious fascism was revealed, it wasn’t actually that huge a surprise for me, nor did it require me to rethink the world.
He’s worse of an inventor to Edison.
Didn’t Edison kinda/sorta invent at least one thing?
I believe his primary modus operandi was to swoop in last minute and steal ideas.
Not one thing. He dropped out of grad school, has no engineering degree, he just swoops in with Daddy money to call himself a “founder” retroactively. He does spew a lot of stupid ideas as novel.
Elon is rich for sure but I never knew he was interesting enough to be in a 4 hour documentary.
Goddamn, I despise Elon Musk, but the author of the article and their web dev team all need to be on the firing squad.
Shit, as a text file it would be unreadable, and any text file loaded onto that CMS is unreadable.
So let’s call garbage garbage using garbage, garbagely.
The internet is truly dead, as well as journalism, and people have to wake up!
…
OK?
Sorry you couldn’t read it. I had no problem myself, but I guess not everything is for everybody. Here’s hoping you find an article you can read.
As a web developer and security dude: the site is broken.
Cool that you support tracking. High five. The site is broken. You just might not be aware. cool… Seriously I think I am just done with these lame ass forums. I will pine for the fnords.
You know, Reddit used to be awesome. And it just trained people to be useless dicks. Fuck it, I am out. I can walk barefoot and not talk to people for any comprehensible purpose just the same.
There are people who are just batshit blathering right around the corner.
OK.
Bye.
Enjoy yourself.
An offer?
Hi Elon.
That makes no sense. Just dude…
Dude, like woah, am I right? Wow…
Got any more nothing to say?
No. You are blathering. Find help. You can stop dementia, or at least offset it if caught early.
Seek out medical advice.
Typical grok response. Caught again.
What in the shit are you blathering about. You should catch your own sanity.
Dead internet theory, and how you are behaving like an engagement bot, weren’t you paying attention? Grok, is this real?
How much time should I be spending being influenced by Elon and the trumps? Should I raise my ceiling again?
If you boycott, why watch it ?
Just because it’s about Elon doesn’t mean it’s for Elon. That’s like saying you won’t watch a documentary on the horrors of the Nazi party because you don’t want to join.
