You can't spell melon without Elon, as the saying goes.

Maybe Trump got the idea from that rumor. Self-fulfilling prophecy. /s

I think it's only cringe though, when you try being something/someone you are not. Just "trying" something isn't cringe in itself.

If I went to a skate park and tried to learn the skateboard I would definitely suck but it wouldn't be cringe, imagine a middle aged man with knee protection falling on his ass.

It would be cringe if I went there all dressed up in the latest skate fashion trying to blend in with the cool kids, throwing some skate jargon around.

It doesn't really explain the part where artificially making the pizza more expensive is somehow a payback.

Seems like a very US-problem.

There are thousands of protests though, with thousands of people each.

It's problematic at least. The Communist party is also banned in Germany.

I'm definitely not saying Le Pen is innocent.

Navalny was found guilty of multiple crimes. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/04/russian-court-extends-alexei-navalny-sentence-in-penal-colony

Being charged a criminal is subject to the court system and if that ever gets corrupted, democracy is over.

Many people here say that it's not the same in France; that the French court system has no evidence of corruption. I agree. I prefer to have laws in place before they are needed, rather than too late.

I disagree. The angle of the sun is not a human invention. Trying to invent something from scratch based on that, I would definitely mark one time as "the darkest" and another "the lightest".

I agree that hours, and therefore date lines and time zones are completely arbitrary though.

If we didn't have hours we'd still need a way to group times by geographic or political regions; my example above still needs to handle the "lightest where?" question.

I think my conclusion is that organizing people and societies is arbitrary by nature.

It would be neater though to try to make midnight and mid day the basis for which we measure time. Stepping off of that makes it even more arbitrary.

We're competing with "it's already installed" though, not installing Windows from scratch.

Installing any OS is a huge step up for most people.

The real change comes when manufacturers start giving the choice of pre-installed OS. Some already do but they are pretty niche (e.g. Steam Deck).

It's like a super power really. What if you could just say any nasty shit and people would applaud you for it.
