    If it is only about feeling safe as opposed to actually being safe then I think this would not change things much.

    Psychopaths are very good at getting people to trust them which would imply feeling safe also. Common things they end up doing are becoming CEO’s, or serial killers largely as a result of that trait. Of course there are exceptions.





  • Pretty sure that Musk has realised he alienated his prior fan base by courting this government so publicly and passionately.

    Now he is trying to reclaim his former status by attacking the Trump admin thinking the left will love him for it. Trouble with that is, petulent is not a good look, nor is appearing not to have an allegiance to anything but money. His mask has slipped and that won’t be forgotten, he did a nazi salute twice on the international stage ffs. No one is going to see Musk as a champion for the left or the environment again.

    Not only has he screwed Tesla by making them unfashionable, he’s now screwed SpaceX by pissing off a major source of income.

    But we are still to believe that the guy is a financial genius and not just lucky, right?

    All children are different just like adults. There are many adults I could describe as obnoxious, entitled assholes, but that doesn’t make me write off all adults. The last thing I would describe my 3 year old daughter as at Disneyland was obnoxious. If anything she was better behaved because she was so happy and realised we had done something nice for her by taking her there. She was spontaneously giving us hugs when there which she doesn’t normally do. Sure, she got tired and a little cranky at the end of each day but it was far outweighed by her god behaviour and she was never even close to obnoxious by anyone’s standards. Caveat: I am her biggest fan and you can feel free to write off my comments as biased but I expect you to anyway because you exhibit all the signs of prejudice.

    For the record, I did see some kids acting a bit entitled and obnoxious, but I’d say that they were in the minority and it was a fleeting moment as you passed them by so who is to know if you didn’t just witness the one instance of bad behaviour in their whole day.

    When you are prejudiced against something though you take on the evidence that reinforces your view and ignore the evidence which contradicts. I expect if you were at disneyland or anywhere else surrounded by children behaving well your mind would not acknowledge that, I.e. You’d simply ignore or not notice well behaved children. But any time there is one child in your vicinity who is not behaving well I bet you do notice and take note and think “See? All children are obnoxious little shits”

    Reasons why you don’t have children no.1: you don’t like them.

    Reasons why you are obnoxious no 1: you think it is funny or clever to imply you have at least 78 reasons to not have children and in doing so show us that you are fine with judging whole groups on the behaviour of a few of its members.
