You're also in a meme community, commenting on a meme, so while technically correct, it's not super relevant.
Yeah but Vaas is iconic and absolutely arresting in every scene he's in.

Doing the same thing over and over with an expectation to see differing results is also science.

But also if you keep running the compiler without changing any of the code hoping for the errors to be magically gone, you are insane. So there's the same logic being applied to insanity in computer science

Idk, if you're doing the same thing after your training that you were doing before, you either didn't need training or you weren't successfully trained.
It's an idiom, it's not meant to be a clinical diagnosis. Like, yeah if you're psychiatrist says it to you qnd tries to have you institutionalized, that's obviously a problem. But I highly doubt that's ever happened, certainly not in the modern age.
Ultimately, it's actually the same exact idea as "Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it," but in less politically correct terms.

think the meme has some grounds for truth. of course it was designed to be a dramatic speech for a scary character but it has some grounds to it: this may not be the truth but its how it feels. By doing the same thing over and over again and seeing no chance you go insane, and as such it feels like doing so is asking for insanity, thus the characters speech!

For the training, I'd argue that you're not trying to get different results.
Each time, the result is minor growth in whatever your goal is, be it strength, muscle mass, or endurance, etc.

At this point where he is basically stripping the site of its users (paid + limits) and branding (removing the twitter bird) why didn't he just start up his own social media site and slow grow it instead of wasting money to pillage the competitor and then strip it of everything that made it what it was, i.e., the user base and the brand recognition?
He didn't want twitter in the first place. He made some legally binding comments and was legally required to purchase it after meme-ing an offer and thinking he could get away with it lol. Now he's suing the lawyers that made him buy Twitter.
Musk is not a very smart man.
To be precise, he's sueing the lawyers Twitter hired in the case to force him to buy, as Twitter paid them a bunch of money they weren't legally obligated to pay, just before the purchase went through.
Weren't legally obligated, that we know of. There could have been a fee paid at delivery of the deal being made, since that's how this firm and the firm that Musk hired to sue the old firm charge. They keep the billable hours down in order to keep the price low unless they win and then there is normally a "winning fee".
Without context it makes it seem that the payment was out of left field when it was business as usually, especially since Musk didn't want to actually go through with it.
He's been hanging onto that x.com url for so long, he insists it's gonna get used
The best part is he had to buy the rights back from Paypal, he just did it back in 2017.
Couldn't he have just started a blog, like a normal person?
The legal term for not knowing the difference between right and wrong? I suppose that still applies.
The brand with the bird and all was actually one of the more valuable parts of Twitter that he bought...
Is anyone going to tell Elon he cant own the letter X
That's a pretty terrible trademark
Tell that Apple.
Didn't they try to sue someone for using an apple as a logo in Switzerland?
Not sure about Switzerland but they did try in Poland https://www.pcworld.com/article/461258/apple_vs_a_pl_tech_company_sues_online_polish_grocer_over_logo.html
curious what the result of this case was, quick search didn't come with any updates.
Very hard to find updates indeed, this doesn't say much more but it's from 2015 https://itkey.media/apple-sues-polish-entrepreneur-over-ap-pl/
He looks older in older pictures, creepy
He is 100% more sane than you. 100 %.
artificially selecting your kids to be all male is a sure sign of sanity
It’s like trying to have the hero fight a giant spider in every movie you make.
Spiders are the fiercest killers in the insect kingdom
Giving a shit about some corporation rebranding itself?
He failed at PayPal and they kicked him for it, so surely the X is totally a good omen for him right? That’s why he keeps going back.
