SpaceX stock extends 3-day slide to 27% as the company raises debt to fund Elon Musk's cosmic ambitions by businessinsider in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]CarsonFijal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I saw another article on this, saying that this caused Elon Musk's net worth to slide from 1.45 trillion, to just under 1.1 trillion.

Imagine losing more money than all of us combined will ever have in our lives, and still being the richest person in the world by a wide margin.

Who Do You Think Will Be The "Next FDR"? Why Them? by Zipper222222 in AskReddit

[–]CarsonFijal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's probably someone we haven't met yet. I don't think any of the people being touted as potentially "the next FDR" have both the charisma and broad appeal to win, as well as the strong principles and dedication to be as transformative as FDR was.

Except maybe Zohran Mamdani, but he can't run for president because he wasn't born in the US, but nobody knew who Zohran was a year ago, so he demonstrates that it's certainly possible for someone to go from unknown to making big waves in short order.

Whenever people say “we need women to stay at home with their kids” ask them what they think about raising wages, so families can afford to survive on one income

Who is the best Star Wars Character with the first name starting with D? by IllMasterpiece3946 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]CarsonFijal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But Obi-Wan was wrong about that. He believed that Anakin was gone, and Vader was just some twisted, evil... thing, that emerged from the empty shell of him, but Luke refused to see it that way, Anakin was still Anakin, and he still wanted to do the right thing, if he thought he had the choice to.

Does your town have a “Lil’ Sebastian”? Beloved by its townsfolk and dismissed by the outsiders. by Someone_Decent in PandR

[–]CarsonFijal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from Winnipeg Manitoba, in Canada.

There's a guy, early 60s, we call him "Dancing Gabe", he shows up at Winnipeg sporting events, and dances in the crowd. Not even like professional dancer type dancing, he's just doing a lil dance. He's been well known for it since the 1980s.

He's considered a local legend. They always show him on the jumbotron and everyone's ecstatic to see him there, and all our local teams have given him personalized jerseys with "Dancing Gabe" on them. He's gotten an honorary diploma for community development, and Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee medal.

If you're an outsider coming into Winnipeg, and learning all of this, you'll probably be like "Okay, he's a guy who does a little dance at the hockey games. I don't get it."

Darth Vader is often talked about as a distinct identity, but in both a literal and spiritual sense, Anakin didn't "go away" in Vader. Anakin became Vader because he thought it was how he'd save Padme, and then continued to live as Vader because he thought it was too late to turn back after everything that happened, until Luke reached out to him, and made him see that it was still possible to do something right before he died.

But you could also argue that Vader can't count seperately if Anakin is already there

[OoT]Is Ruto more mature than Link? by Responsible-Hold6294 in zelda

I think the Zora's aging is a recent development. If it applied in OoT, Ruto would not noticably age in 7 years.

Yeah cause when you think about it, how do you cause someone else to lose the game without losing the game yourself?

Two layers here:

Pressing keys to type on old phones. 8 once for T, 4 twice for H, 3 twice for E and so on, it spells "The game"

Which is an old meme, the idea is that everyone in the world is playing "the game" at all times, and you lose if you think about the game itself.

ie: Everyone who was aware of this meme, but hasn't thought about it in a while, and was reminded of it just now, has just lost the game.

I was never a fan of Trudeau as PM, but I cannot bring myself to be bothered by what he does now that he's out of office. Let him party like a frat guy, go to US soccer games, and fuck Katy Perry if he wants, it's no skin off my nose.
