Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This will surely cost him votes in the next el—- oh wait.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

came to say this. whats the point of an approval rating. feels like calvin and hobbes with the dads approval rating.

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

WHY DOES ELON MUSK HAVE A MOTHERFUCKING APPROVAL RATING. MOTHERFUCKER IS NOT ELECTED. FUCK.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I was gonna say: we didn't vote for him! Approval rating should be at 0% on that point alone as zero voters approved of this.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I usually dont like all caps but you captured my feelings perfectly.

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

Came here to point this out, but could not have put it as eloquently as you.

[–] the_q@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

It's cool a non elected, private citizen has an approval rating and a job in our government.

Now if only he could "Fall out a window" and stop actively destroying the country, that'd be great.

Now let Tesla stock price follow his approval rating!

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I seriously doubt it will. It might have dropped almost 30% on the last month, but it's back up 17% in the last 5 days.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Back down 5% today at the moment.

But it's insane that it's still so high.

It was always propped up by empty promises of self driving and other imaginary tech that never got delivered.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Elmo Muskrat was told by his engineers to use a combination of machine vision and lidar/radar and other sensors to achieve full self driving. I suppose Ketamine elves told Ketamine addicted Elmo that machine vision should be sufficient. SO Elmo told the engineers that they were wrong and it will just be machine vision. Thus Tesla will NEVER succeed at full self driving.

The other issue is that object recognition from a camera can never be 100% accurate, therefore any decision on which object to avoid and where to turn in an emergency situation will have a good chance of being wrong, based on weather and visibility.

It is not nice to wish ill on someone, but with Muskolini, I cannot help but desire it.

Is it really "not nice" when something bad happening to a person, removing them from public policy, would be an objective improvement?

[–] Tuuktuuk@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

It's not nice having to wish for anyone's death. Goes against the human nature.

But something not feeling nice tells nothing about whether something is okay or not. Sometimes you need to do things that are not nice.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Who said anything about death?

[–] Tuuktuuk@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Not me. Probably nobody? 🤷
