Yesterday was Elon’s greatest magic trick. It got everybody believe an amazing technological gap had just been made. I got fooled too. At first, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I was so excited. And don’t get me wrong , the technology, the precision at which the car did what it did, was fabulous. However, it was not a car doing it. And that is the true, Machiavellic genius of Elon. There is no flying car. There is no car at all. It was an empty shell. As light as possible. No seats. Nothing. Full of gas tanks. With a maximum of 2 secs of thrust usage. In other words, it was a drone. A drone with a shell that looked like a car. Imagine if it had been a square piece of metal instead. You would have said “nice”. The truth is, it is nothing more than that. It was not the car that you will see in the street. It was just a piece of light metal, that had the same body as the one you wil buy. The technology exists since a long time. If nobody did it, it’s not that they didn’t think about it’s it’s because it is not sustainable. It is not achievable. So why were we fooled ? Because most people can’t imagine the biggest entrepreneur and genius of our century would have put millions into a show and be ruthless enough to put a fake car in a demonstration with the goal of selling something that will have nothing to do with what he is showing. It was a show. A spectacle. Pure manipulation. Ruthless, immoral marketing. The whole “ socialism vs capitalism” or “Europe vs America” we are seeing is the result of a fabulously done propaganda. The car doesn’t fly. It never will. Most importantly, there wasn’t any car on that show. But the brainwashed idiots that we are will rush to buy it, waiting for another two years ( 9 have passed already since the preorders), only to receive something that has nothing to do with what we have seen. Expect the shell. But in 2026, it seems it is what we are. Empty shells for which entertainment and lies are enough to make us dance like apes. Porsche maybe didn’t do a flying demonstration. But at least they will deliver exactly what they have shown. And it will drive better than any Tesla ever will ( especially if it weights two fugging tons).

They would be proud because it's a Trend and a Costume. It's a different story when it is your lived reality
Nigeria Independence parade in NYC… seems like Nigerians abroad are more happy and proud of Nigeria than those living in the country

She’s being honest, and I actually respect the honesty. But women have to understand that social media has given men access to conversations they were never supposed to hear. For most of history, the average man didn’t have access to millions of women openly discussing how they view men, dating, marriage, sex, attention and relationships. Now he does, & information changes behavior. So when women ask, ‘Why don’t men yearn anymore?’ or ‘What happened to 90s love?’ part of the answer is that you’re asking men with far more information to behave like men who knew far less. You can’t give men access to conversations their fathers and grandfathers never heard in abundance and expect them to approach women & interact with women the same way.
Other women aren’t going to admit it and if you’re married you shouldn’t but as a woman, I love being desired by other men. Hearing it from your partner isn’t enough. And it doesn’t have to be online attention. Hearing how beautiful you are by a random man on a Tuesday afternoon makes you feel good.

I'm not envious of many people in this world, but I am of people who made it to four (or five!). We stopped at three, but if we had met earlier, there coulda-woulda-shoulda have been more. Be fruitful and multiply!
Have your fourth kid. Go into debt if you have to. I did (and got out) 😆

Marriage will humble you because eventually your spouse will see you fail. They will see you when you're broke, sick, stressed, insecure, unemployed, overweight, depressed about life or completely unsure about what to do next. The question is not whether your spouse will ever see you at your lowest. They will. The real question is what kind of person they become when you are no longer impressive. Anybody can love you when life is easy character is revealed when life becomes ugly.

They call me brainwashed for going to church every week and rejecting society, But this supposedly the "freedom" they want me to abandon Jesus for. I'd rather be cancelled by society, than be seen in these kinda settings. I love my brain washed 🙂

“As someone who got married for love 10 years ago, I really pity men and women of this generation. Love is something where you choose someone above everything else, where the man removes the money and the woman removes the body, yet they still genuinely want each other. But nowadays, relationships have become about asking for phones, expensive gifts and other material things, all in the name of love.” — Nigerian lady reacts
