THE RIGHT TURNS ON ELON? - Twitter Freax

[@randomname9723]

Why is no one talking about Elon Musk changing his twitter to "Kekius Maximus" with an AI generated Pepe in spartan armour with a console controller. I am in awe. The really, really bad kind of awe.

[@PPPPPPPP270]

This was recorded on Monday. Maybe next Monday. This also furthers me theory that Elon is possessed by a 14 year old 4chan user.

[@Kumo-s6f]

That level of cringe, so abyssal that it would be remarkable coming from anyone else, is the most predictable thing in the world coming from Musk.

[@justasaiyanfromearth5252]

He used his alt (the one featured in the video) to pat himself on back and literally say "masterful gambit, sir". Genuinely the most pathetic man to ever exist.

Man, the stat about americans guessing that 36% of this country are union members when it's only 4% just really fucking hurts. I wish it were as good as 36%. Some locals celebrate when they have even just 20% market share in their state. If you can join a union, do it. We have to raise that 4%.

[@uS0ra]

Yea I wish 21% of Americans were trans too

[@tehy123]

Pro tip: if you ask someone to estimate a small percent, they will get it wildly wrong

[@cjyoung5635]

It's currently something like 9-10% if I remember right. (It was a fun fact on Sunday news so idk if that's true but 4% seems way to low)

[@snekkers5600]

​@cjyoung5635 that 4% stat came out before Starbucks, amazon and doordash were allowed to unionize like a year ago iirc

[@drewbabe]

@@snekkers5600 those three companies combined are not 5% of the american workforce, and also, those companies are just seeing shop unions or the equivalent of guilds. 4% seems too high tbh, it's probably counting police unions (not unions, blue lives don't matter) and teacher's unions (super-established pseudo-unions whose job is to make sure teachers have it just barely not-bad-enough-to-all-strike.) if 4 out of every 100 americans had proper class consciousness then the snowball effect would have already been causing a mass labor movement for the past decade or more and we'd be seeing pinkertons out there cracking heads in the next 6 months. if 9 out of every 100 did, then the IWW would be organizing a general strike and the Maoists and the SRA would be forming militias to hunt down cops. if you told me the actual number is 1% i would be pleasantly surprised, that's how bleak things are.

It's so incredible that Vivek doesn't know what highschool is like and his only frame of reference is sitcoms from 30-40 years ago. The idea that "nerd" and "jock" are distinct categories of human is insane. Maybe he should ask Matt Gates what the lives of highschoolers are like nowadays.

[@eden3669]

when i was in high school there werent really any obvious jocks and i was one of the only full-on "nerds" (the kind that never talks to anyone else, has no life outside of school, etc) . despite being in a class with a bunch of people that were "nerds" (Good At School) it wasn't good for me, 0/10 do not recommend, i despise vivek for acting like this is somehow good

As someone who can't recall what happens in the Odyssey at all, it's probably like Seinfeld for sitcoms or Lord of the Rings for fantasy where it's become so ubiquitous that people don't even realize that it's being referenced anymore so it's kinda normal that people think they don't know it.

I'm of the opinion that the anti-localizers don't read or consume any localized products (knowingly, they still do though) and generalize the entire medium based on 5+ yo anime discourse

[@cipper12]

TRUE! The problem with decent localisation is that it's too good to notice and then most of the time it's credited to just good translation.

[@cjyoung5635]

Not gonna lie when you have people who don't read or speak the language they're translating from and too I kinda get why. Getting a brain aneurysm from that stuff isn't worth most reads. Aside from that it's kinda a non issue. (If your gonna translate at least understand the basics of at least one of the languages basically)

[@denofpigs2575]

I have repeatedly had shit I love be made worse by sub par localization teams. Just because I don't consume 100% of every piece of localized media doesn't make my frustration at sub par localization any less valid. One of my favorite franchises ever (Yu-Gi-Oh) effectively has had its entire western perception permanently ruined and/or altered because of garbage localization like 4Kids.

It is very "Anglo" thing because being knowledgeable about ancient greece was relatively common high society class marker in 1700-1900s britain. Speaking bit of homers greek and being familiar with "the classics" and being able to discuss and generate small talk about them not forgetting philosophers etc.etc. This trend carried across the empire and became a legacy in most anglosphere colonies as a curriculum topic in "better peoples schools" and sort of marker of being cultured. Carried into current day curriculums by that legacy and now as part of English lit teacher asks you to read some translation of Odysseus and Shakespeare which both clearly equals in topic of English as a language.

[@victorzheng8042]

I think anyone who has gone to a public school in a western nation for an extended period of time should at the very least know what the Odyssey is. If you’re not from the west, I think expecting you to know it is kinda dumb. It’s not like I would expect a white guy to know what Water Margin or the Ramayana are. If you haven’t read the Odyssey yet though, I would recommend Richmond Lattimore’s translation, it’s not as easy to read as Emily Wilson’s but the content is incredible. I read it when I was a senior in high school and only had minor trouble understanding some parts that google solved pretty quickly.
