Hello, lady of the house speaking?
- Pronouns
- He/him/his
my person of the year is me
I will not elaborate
Holding onto every strand of hair. The vanity, just shave it all at that point and reinvent your look.
This is tragic.
imagine paying so much to go bald twice
This is tragic.
The written piece they did on him makes him sound like a freaking saviour...:imagine naming someone who abuses their workers as person of the year
This is the man who aspires to save our planet and get us a new one to inhabit: clown, genius, edgelord, visionary, industrialist, showman, cad; a madcap hybrid of Thomas Edison, P.T. Barnum, Andrew Carnegie and Watchmen’s Doctor Manhattan, the brooding, blue-skinned man-god who invents electric cars and moves to Mars.
Many people are described as larger than life, but few deserve it. How many of us truly exceed our life span? How many will make it into the digital textbooks our spacefaring descendants will study? As Shakespeare observed in Julius Caesar, it’s far easier to be remembered for doing evil than doing good. How many will leave a mark on the world—much less the universe—for their contributions rather than their crimes? A few short years ago, Musk was roundly mocked as a crazy con artist on the verge of going broke. Now this shy South African with Asperger’s syndrome, who escaped a brutal childhood and overcame personal tragedy, bends governments and industry to the force of his ambition.
The toll his hard-driving style takes on staff is legendary.
I'm sorry but I will not be made to feel bad about making fun of Elon Musk's funny haircutIt's honestly really embarrassing that people can be confronted with evil billionaires with an endless list of misdeeds and all they can muster up is insults about their appearance which they will never see but plenty of other people with similar insecurities will.
Same.I won it in 2006 and nothing really changed for me
This is honestly the right answer. Hell, even giving it to Fauci would've been decent last year, but they decided to give it to Biden/Harris? Like.....why.For the second year in a row it should be all the hospital staff trying to save us all during this pandemic.
Nobody else comes close.
What are the odds he paid Time to do it so he could feel better after all that?What's really odd is that this has not been a great year for Musk. Publicly separated from his partner, his space initiative failing and on the verge of bankruptcy, the continued controversy surrounding his labor conditions. It's very odd to me that a man whose future is more uncertain than ever has been named Person of the Year.
extraordinarily high it seemsWhat are the odds he paid Time to do it so he could feel better after all that?
Oh sorry, you asked for who our Person of the Year would be. I think Eugene Goodman would've been a good symbolic pick:
I'm so fucking sick of Elon Musk. This dude is not your friend and never will be. I'm sick of my generation worshipping him because "lolz memez"
As someone who used to be a journalist for years I know almost every publication has its price, but isn't the Time list just a bit too big for being used as advertorial space?extraordinarily high it seems
Oh sorry, you asked for who our Person of the Year would be. I think Eugene Goodman would've been a good symbolic pick:
??? I hate cops, but this dude is a hero.Liberals stop ballwashing the cops challenge
Yeah there's "cops," and then there's "a few people who stood up to a violent mob that was attempting to overthrow an election and install their own leader" and I consider Goodman the latter.??? I hate cops, but this dude is a hero.
Scroll up a couple posts and you’ll realize that you’re wrong??? I hate cops, but this dude is a hero.
do you mean this?Scroll up a couple posts and you’ll realize that you’re wrong
If those weirdos were truly a threat to 'overthrowing an election' the US Army would have shot them all dead. They got plenty of practice doing it elsewhere.Yeah there's "cops," and then there's "a few people who stood up to a violent mob that was attempting to overthrow an election and install their own leader" and I consider Goodman the latter.
Though perhaps I shouldn'tve opened this can of worms, sorry.
do you mean this?
Some peoples hatred of cops will not let them see actual life saving as a good thing. It's insane but it is what it is, best to not engage with them.??? I hate cops, but this dude is a hero.
Incredibly naive if you think the actions of the capitol police department were “life-saving”. This only happened because they allowed it to happen. Forgive me for not patting them on the backSome peoples hatred of cops will not let them see actual life saving as a good thing. It's insane but it is what it is, best to not engage with them.
ah, a couple posts above here. my mistakeNo I mean him wearing a fucking thin blue line mask, lol. Yes here are the cops directing the chuds after they let them into the building good job
Repeating the same conspiracies that got you banned from the PoliEra discord I see, have fun not engaging with conspiracy theorists.Incredibly naive if you think the actions of the capitol police department were “life-saving”.

“Conspiracies” that are on hours of video footage live streamed from that day, lol.Repeating the same conspiracies that got you banned from the PoliEra discord I see, have fun not engaging with conspiracy theorists.
People all over the world do live saving stuff all the time they don't get any praise like this person does because they're not wearing a uniform. Hell, this cop wouldn't have even needed to be "heroic" at all if his fellow cops hadn't allowed all of those chuds to walk right into the building through the front door. The fact that people use him to defend the police and therefore continue the everlasting system of oppression they exists for is why we make fun of people that celebrate this dude.Some peoples hatred of cops will not let them see actual life saving as a good thing.

To be clear, I'm not using him to defend the police. I appreciate what he did, the individual, and the significance of how close we got that day to a mob, which was chanting that they were going to murder politicians, actually entering the room where the politicians were. And yeah, politicians in a lot of cases aren't great! I'm not defending politicians either! But those politicians were in the act of certifying an election, and that mob was trying to stop them from doing it so that the guy they decided "actually" won would remain president (the guy whose fuckin flag they installed on that building after taking down the flag of our goddamn nation, if we wanna bring up footage we saw that day). And that shit is goddamn horrifying and infuriating. Meanwhile half the news channels on American television are trying to pretend that shit didn't really happen. SO having the picture on Time of someone who stood between that mob and literal democracy I thought would be a good symbolic pick for the type of year we've had, regardless of the fact that he was wearing a cop uniform.People all over the world do live saving stuff all the time they don't get any praise like this person does because they're not wearing a uniform. Hell, this cop wouldn't have even needed to be "heroic" at all if his fellow cops hadn't allowed all of those chuds to walk right into the building through the front door.

As a former mod of the Poliera discord, I think @Ostia is in the clear.Repeating the same conspiracies that got you banned from the PoliEra discord I see, have fun not engaging with conspiracy theorists.
Don't apologize man, these people are conspiracy theorists and he did save lives. Do not let them ruin your day and tear a hero down.Again, sorry I brought it up. I didn't realize he was a controversial figure.
Again, I hate cops. I never defend the police. I don't like this guy because he's a cop. I like him because he actually did the right thing compared to his coworkers. And hey, maybe we should praise everyone that helps save lives, and I agree that we need to do better.People all over the world do live saving stuff all the time they don't get any praise like this person does because they're not wearing a uniform. Hell, this cop wouldn't have even needed to be "heroic" at all if his fellow cops hadn't allowed all of those chuds to walk right into the building through the front door.

I don't think it's productive to call people conspiracy theorists because of off-site drama.Don't apologize man, these people are conspiracy theorists and he did save lives. Do not let them ruin your day and tear a hero down.
