Billionares have a support system of other billionares giving one another handsies. I'm sure if Musk was in danger of feeling pain someone like Thiel or Bezos would step up to give him a hand perhaps without interest even. I agree &quo

I misunderstood your intent -I thought the idea was to suggest a term which could be applied to the True Believer regardless of ideology. I didn't realize you simply wanted another phrase you could sling at the left. My apologies.

Hopefully everyone's noticed there's a ton of Borland manuals at Bitsavers, not just TASM v5. You could probably even pick up the software itself if you wanted maybe off of archive.org? [edit]..and run it on dosbox-x or 86box, of

or even if you consider what went down on reddit "in the good old days" -yet, I think that's thew view of reddit (real or not) that they're trying to appeal to.

"woke agenda" is not a mainstream political term, and the fact you state it is demonstrates both your own position (to the far right) and inability to step outside of that viewpoint and discuss issues from a genuinely detached v

That can describe both the left and the right. I'd be very surprised if you weren't alluding to SJWs; but at the same time you're describing Qanon folks as well. ...and that's why we can't have discourse. No one can
