    Starting to think the reason Elon opposes the “woke mind virus” is not because his daughter is trans, but because he keeps getting owned so fucking hard by her

      It’s not because his daughter is trans. It’s because his daughter is trans and Grimes is with Chelsea Manning now.

          It’s actually kinda cute. Apperently they started DMing because one of them made a reference to a classic AI thought experiment (aka bonding over an unexpected shared interest) and one thing led to another and they had an extended relationship of sorts

          It’s like the most normal human thing about Musk so I can’t really fault him or Grimes for having a real human experience that I’m sure we all either have or at some point will experience

            We’re doing a good job drowning out the hate. Like to follow the rules ‘round here, wouldn’t wanna add to mod queue unnecessarily if it gives them the useless chore of simply dismissing it. More useful to get some discussion on what the rules should be, too. Thought for sure I’d find a reportable reason when I looked them up.

    Oh my God that comment about being bullied by him for being feminine. I felt that in my fucking soul. I got that shit so much from my father when I was younger. About the stupidest shit too.

    I had this baby doll that I apparently loved when I was little. I was too young to remember having it, but when my brother was a baby apparently I’d follow my mom around with it and while she took care of my brother if she was doing something that I couldn’t help with I’d take care of my baby doll.

    He hated this fucking doll with a passion. Didn’t want me to have it because he was convinced I’d grow up to be gay if I had it. Only the word he used was worse. He ended up jumping at the chance to give the doll away to a family they were acquainted with lost their house in a fire and their daughter had no toys left because he could get away with it then. But his hate for this fucking doll was crazy. Like it was impossible for me to become a parent one day and gasp take care of my own child.

      I’m sorry that you went through that. My 9 year olds mother took his safety blanket from him 5 years ago. He was “too old for it”. Fuck that. If it makes him feel better, he has it. This is why we’re no longer together. I bought him a new one and he gets it whenever he wants at my house. He rarely uses it, but it’s there for him when he wants it. He’s 9. He’s still just a kid, it’s not like I’m handing him job applications.

    I did have a love of musical and theater when I was four, but that’s because my dad was a film historian who also loved Stephen Sondheim, so half of what I listened to growing up was showtunes… but I’m guessing if that was true about Musk’s daughter, it was Musk who was playing the music.

    But yeah, I have a cassette tape of me somewhere (sort of) singing “Soon” from A Little Night Music when I was something like 18 months old.

    Anyway, fuck Musk and I’m glad his daughter called him out on his bullshit. She also made sure she put it in the court record that she disowned him when she legally changed her name. She didn’t have to do that, she just wanted it in the legal record that she did not consider him her father. Much respect for that with someone with a normal bigot father, but when your father is one of the richest men in the world? She’s fucking amazing.

    I’m so fucking poor compared to Musk. His wealth grants him access to so many things I’ll never have access to. He is financially far more successful than I will likely ever be. I don’t feel any envy though. He’s so life and love poor that I feel like his superior simply because my family loves and respects me, and I feel the same towards them.

    He’s a loser. It’s a weird thing to say about a guy who can buy my entire neighborhood and tear it down for funsies, but he makes it so clear. No matter how much he has, he’ll always be a pathetic loser. He’s proof positive that money does not buy happiness.

          i guess maybe it depends on the person. i usually remember the moments when i learn things, including words. at the very least I’m pretty confident with whether i knew a certain word while i was in school, before, or after. and i would think a word like fabulous would be more memorable than usual.

      I have trouble remembering things from highschool. But my younger sibling, they have vivid memories of stuff from pre-school onwards. And I know they’re not making it up because, well, I was there and was 5 years older.

      And many research has shown that long term memory starts forming at, coincidentally, around 4 years of age.

      The mind is a wondrous place, and just because you or I can’t imagine it happening doesn’t mean it’s not possible.

    One thing Elon doesn’t seem to understand is that no matter how many billions of dollars he spends to “combat the woke mind virus”, it will never make his daughter love him. Accepting her and loving her unconditionally would, but that requires a level of emotional maturity that Elon simply doesn’t possess and no amount of money can buy for him.

    Rich people are far too often bankrupt in the matters of the heart and soul.

    One of the crazy parts of growing up with a narcissist is recognizing that you are supposed to stop their bullshit. They are in charge as a parent, so being a fucking kid means you think them lying about shit to glorify their mistakes is what is supposed to happen. And to be safe you go along with it.

    It is not pleasant to be expelled from an abusive, controlling, narcissistic family to the world only to become a mark to every dark triad person on the planet.

    And to find the good in that world is nigh impossible without almost endless resources.

      I grew up with a narcissistic, neglectful mother. It made me a stone cold liar. I’m so good at lying that I sometimes used to lie just for fun to see how crazy I could make it before someone would call me out on it.

      That being said, with my child I’m a totally different person. I’m super honest with him. I tell him constantly how much I love him, how much he matters to me. I just have this aversion to do anything my mother would have done. My instincts tell me to do almost everything the exact opposite of what she would have done.

          If Ensign Rutherford can hate pears, suffer from brain damage in the line of duty, start liking pears, undergo neurological treatment, and start hating pears again, maybe pears can suck. Maybe some people just don’t like pears and never will unless they get a cybernetic implant ripped out of their head while trying to blow up a Pakled dreadnaught.

            Pears can indeed have very different tastes. There are some i really don’t like, the bland ones, taste like nothing. Some others are really juicy, sweet and yummy.

            I don’t know which ones are what though.

        I remember this blue curtain with giraffes and lions (and I’m sure other animals but those are the two I remember) that I liked and got to see during snack time. I used to imagine I’d be playing with them and how cool they were. I also remember watching GoBots in the morning. I was also fascinated by rollypollys and caterpillars one day in the outside play area for some reason. Just a few examples from preschool when I was between 3 and 4. I started kindergarten when I was 4 during that school year when I was close to turning 5. I remember my teacher from then and her really visible varicose veins and her pointed toe shoes that seemed way too small because the skin from her feet pushed up out of them a bit.

        None of that is stuff my family would have been like “Hey, remember blah blah?”

      How does this help? Vivian didn’t say she remembered being four and not saying those things, she said when she was four she clearly wasn’t going around miming gay stereotypes like Elon Musk claims, because no four year old is:

      • picking out clothes for their parent and describing the outfit as “fabulous”
      • enamored with musicals and the theater

      Vivian’s point is that these are not behaviors typical of a four-year old. The person whose testimony would be valuable is her mother’s and nannies’ who actually were there when she was four years old (unlike Elon Musk).
