Musk doesn’t own PayPal, nor any shares of it. It’s owned by eBay.

And yet. Peter Thiel is also a Nazi, so using PayPal still benefits Nazis.

Thiel ~~was kicked out of~~ sold PayPal. Where are yall getting this PayPal connection with nazis? Sheesh.

Oh so this is a Photoshop? For a moment I thought Teslas were hacked and showing these messages to everyone. That would have been neat.

This is Lemmy. This content was GIMPed. I wouldn't even pirate Adobe products.

I tried to match a picture of a Tesla error as much as possible however.

aw how unfortunate, I was hoping someone hacked the tesla update system to send those alerts.

"Photoshop" is a verb. No need for the pedantry. You know what I meant.

If we keep using it we can make it make it take the same fate as kleenax and aspirin

I’m with you. “This is shopped” will never leave usage for me

Oh so this is a Photoshop?

Looks like a noun to me, dawg.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Please refer to the last two sentences in my previous comment.

Its not a verb I use. Try a better lexicon.

Edit: Lesson 9 of On Tyranny: Be kind to our language.

Avoid pronouncing the phrases everyone else does. Think up your own way of speaking, even if only to convey that thing you think everyone is saying. Make an effort to separate yourself from the internet. Read books.
