How tf could he get those dishes into Gaza given the blockade?
[ComStar]
This man is deranged
For those that don't know, ComStar is the name of the central communications company in the tabletop game Battletech. They control all the communication in the entire galaxy, are styled as and act like a religious institution, and have their own private army empowered to show up and coup anyone who doesn't pay up or attempts to create a separate communications network
Whoever told Musk about this fucking lore needs to be sent to the pit
ComStar is literally the satire faction about tech nerds and how their own self-worship has religious undertones. The BT writers were specifically making fun of people like Elon.
“At last, I have created the ComStat from the culturally acclaimed novel Don’t Create The ComStat”
we love the Torment Nexus, don’t we folks
You think Elon would ever grasp that?
AOC: I don't know how those acts can be defended.
Also AOC: defends those acts
she did vote Nay on recent resolutions though
That’s nice, but that makes her ambivalent at best.
Maybe she’ll have enough spine to vote against Israel funding though since she knows full well it will pass anyways
Oh good at least she's doin a 
If Elon starts Battletech posting, I will literally become the joker. 
Elon has such a great track record...
Oops: Elon Musk Donated the Wrong Kind of Ventilator
2020/04/02
He promised life-saving ventilators. He delivered sleep apnea machines.
Over the last few days, Tesla CEO and bona fide public health disaster Elon Musk has scored a lot of praise and flattering press coverage for his promise to deliver medical ventilators to hospitals facing an overwhelming number of coronavirus cases...

Oops: Elon Musk Donated The Wrong Kind of Connectivity
2023/08/31
He promised life-saving Internet. He delivered logical connectives.
Over the last few days, Tesla CEO and bona fide humanitarian disaster Elon Musk has scored a lot of praise and flattering press coverage for his promise to deliver connectivity to humanitarian aid organizations in Gaza amidst a growing humanitarian crisis.
Well, he delivered, sort of. … Reached for comment, Elon tweeted: “Not or and if!”

Haha.

I mean to Starlink - not poop.
not poop
I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Seems pretty related to poop to me.
name a corpo tech fascist who isn't intertwined with the military industrial complex, you can't
No, please god no, don't touch Battletech. Don't be associated with it. Do not ruin my ONE THING. Fuck you Elon
He has enough money to buy anything
Not my space robits plz 
MFW Harebrained Schemes got entagled into Battletech copyrights clusterfuck, couldn't deliver Battletech 2 game on PC and instead release the gigaturd that is Lamplighters League, while fucking Elon just casually comes and do this. 😡 🤮 😟
yeah, and of course PGI drops the giant turd that is MW 5 mercs. Boring as fuck
That's the main pain of computer battletech. It's a strategy and we had one single strategy version in last 25 years and it was actually good, but the potential is now wasted. Sure the mods like Roguetech are great but RT is bloated mess at this point and its mechanics are purposefully unfriendly to the player and obscure to the point of arcane. Also its installer sucks, require full reinstal every time they drop a minor update, and mod devs are rude bastards impossible to interact with.
I think he should personally deliver them to Gaza, "let that sink in" style. Imagine the struggle session over whether we should critically support the IDF for accidentally blowing up billionaires
wow how could AOC be so "bigoted and callous" as to suggest Israel did something wrong?

This actually shows that she is a very astute politician.
First few days when Israel was caught offguard and Hamas’s attack seemed actually threatening to the settlers, the socdem instinct to protect imperialism was triggered, condemning pro-Palestinian sentiment as anti-semitism.
Few days later when Israel has finally gotten its shit together and Hamas’s initial momentum had faded, and the fate of the Gaza Palestinians is one that awaits to be slaughtered, the socdem is once again safe to call Israel out for their inhumane treatment against the Palestinians.
Pay attention to how their rhetoric changes: when the oppressed rises up and imperialists are under threat, they will denigrate you for supporting “terrorism”, and when the imperialists are finally putting down the oppressed, they will tell you how this is wrong and how they have always condemned such inhumane practices.
The most pathetic AOC reply guy
The US has, ofc, historically not denounced this, but has done similar things to Somalia and Iraq.
lmao on a contract or just as long as you feel like? and does "internationally recognized" mean "approved by the state dept"?
the united states has historically denounced this practice
which is a purely symbolic statement that does not line up with their actual behavior!!!! 
How tf could he get those dishes into Gaza given the blockade?
Aid orgs are probably gonna get at least some access to Gaza, he could just give it to them. It could all just be bluster and he won't do shit but of all the shitty things this dude has said and done this is the least shitty thing so not sure why I'd be immediately hostile towards the idea.

Call me a cynic but I'm increasingly uncertain of that.
i saw Palestinians calling for starlink. i have no clue how it works though.
You need a pricy dish first with a clear view of the sky.
The fact Elon can selectively, geo-percise shut off or block comms, he could most likeky track percisely where all the starlink devices are, giving the US and Isn't Real percise location tracking of journalists and aid workers aka "targets" like a Trojan horse.
gotcha bad idea, im sure the people calling for it were just desperate.
A pricey dish, and a very hefty monthly fee. It's like $200/month on top of the one time installation/hardware fee. It's ridiculous.
It's the dunk tank.
