Even ignoring the fact that he's a billionaire and that's what got him where he is, Musk's personality seems to be such that he is innately annoying as fuck. He'll always have yes-men around him because of his money, but I do wonder just how long everyone else in his current political circle are going to tolerate him. I'm hoping he'll be his own annoying downfall.

Well, he's got the ubiquitous "other duties as required" part of every job listing covered, anyway.

I kind of think about things like this a lot because of my family. My mom's parents were amazing. My mom was amazing. Her brother.. total asshole. My dad's parents - especially his mom - were beyond awful. Out of 6 kids, only 2 turned out good, and 1 was my dad. He's told me so many times over the years how he swore he'd never be like his parents. I've wondered before how things might have turned out of my maternal grandparents had been awful and my paternal ones good. I wonder how things would have changed.

The power of it probably does something for them as well.

Are you a woman? Not asking for any accusatory reasons or anything, I'm just curious about why you'd say that - if you're a girl with lots of friends with nude photos, a guy who's received a lot of photos, just a guy assuming, etc. Again, not asking to attack, even if you're just assuming. I don't have any nudes on mine, and I've had talks about this with a few friends and they were all "helllll NO" to the idea as well.

Edit: Though I do have some wicked sexy pictures of my bare legs. They are covered with horrible lumps called erythema nodosum, though, so probably no one would be looking for that lol

When I was a teen driver in the 90s, my rule was seatbelts or get the fuck out. If they fought me on it, I described to them in excruciating detail what my aunt looked like after a semi hit her car and she wasn't wearing a seatbelt. She was unrecognizable as a human being.. and she lived. Imagine looking like that while still alive. Put on your fucking seatbelt.

What is neutral good called when the user keeps a large space between the monitors? That's pretty much all of my coworkers, and it drives me nuts.
