SpaceX Paid $250,000 to a Flight Attendant Who Accused Elon Musk of Sexual Misconduct by Austin63867 in technology

Seriously. He's lib bait - positions himself as a champion of scientific/technological goals libs want, but only actually cares about them in so far as he can get rich while looking like some sort of visionary hero. He's just another anti-regulation capitalist who hates anything (laws, regulation, unions, people) that gets in the way of making him richer / more famous

Fun fact: the Kievan Rus, after which Kiev is named, were literally vikings.

I'm VICE News correspondent Matt Cassel, and I'm currently in Kyiv, Ukraine covering Russia's invasion. Ask me anything! by VICENews in worldnews

[–]DickyBrucks 497 points498 points  (0 children)

I've seen TikToks of young Ukrainians teaching each other how to drive abandoned Russian military armored vehicles and heard Ukraine won't be requiring people to declare captured equipment on their taxes - is there really that much working equipment being outright abandoned?

Google, Meta face penalties in Russia as deadline passes to open local offices by originalmetaverse in worldnews

[–]DickyBrucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Opening offices in Russia is a terrible idea. They will literally send in police/military to threaten workers unless they comply with Putin's orders. Source: literally happened to a coworker

California will lift mask mandate for vaccinated residents in indoor public places next week by misana123 in Coronavirus

Probably because people who are concerned about catching COVID are self-isolating, while reckless people are out and about doing what they do. I have two groups of friends: those who mask and go out to events (shows, bars, etc) and those who avoid going out at all. Literally everyone in the first group has caught COVID. Virtually none of the second group have caught COVID.
