When posting conspiracy theories about an octogenarian that almost got murdered doesn't bring the money in, surely being a pouty child will.

Sorry if anyone here doesn't like to hear this, but small talk is fine. It's conversational footsie. You'll survive talking about traffic or the weather with your awkward coworker and, hell, y'all might even find out, I dunno, that you share a hobby or drive the same car, or whateverthefuck. Only literal teenagers insist that they won't use their vocal chords unless it's for something "deep and important".

Everyone on the internet can identify one or two spaces after sentences at sight. Its one of our most common arguments. You may as well put something in comic sans and expect nobody to notice.

Maybe not since you might be able to visually tell if there's 1 or 2 spaces between each sentence if you look closely. But who cares. What are they going to do, fire them? 50/50 chance they already have

I'm pretty sure that 44b he put up is a load bearing 44b. He's gonna have to start liquidating stock, which could lead to Interesting Things happening to his massively overvalued portfolio

Or he could somehow weasel his way out of it, it'll be interesting to watch either way

I'm still kind of processing.


It's kind of hard for me to articulate.

Twitter was this perfect public face for commercial advertising, engagement for consumers.

I mean I hate it but I can see it's value for commercial interests. We had people just having conversations with brands like a Philip k Dick short story.

Twitter was huge, I know TikTok is big but Twitter was like the base interface between like everything.

Like the president of the United States uses it. The loving UN uses it.

And it just got destroyed (and was ALLOWED to be destroyed) by some pissbaby meatface because he didn't like mean tweets

I mean my uneducated mush brain can't think of something like this happening before but maybe like the Hearst era this kinda poo poo was going on.

But all I can think is like the president is about to get on air force one and I'm 9 years old and my older brother stole my fries so I go throw a tantrum in the cockpit fly the plane into the empire state building and nowhere along the way am I stopped

Hey don't forget the part where he needed social validation from "free speech activists" who totally just want an equal voice and totally don't just consider it censorship when people are allowed to disagree with them and/or stop associating with them.

Oh and this is the same crew that cries "virtue signaling" if you so much as shitpost in a way they don't like in the bowels of a reply section and get one (1) like for it, but spending $44b on a website, claiming you saved free speech, and actually not measurably changing anything but the rate of slurs posted is totally not virtue signaling in any capacity. But we don't even need to get into that.


euphronius posted:

Yes.

But it's way loving past time we stopped pretending the right means literally anything besides "hurt/kill/silence everyone that disagrees with us" when they proclaim to be staunchly concerned with free speech. They aren't. To them, free speech is when they get to call you slurs, and you get shot in the loving head if you object to it. Just look at their template for freedom of religion; you get to pick your flavor of Christianity, or they get to murder you.

I feel halfway like I'm being hyperbolic about the murder part... and then I ask myself if that's not accurate and I've just been gaslit for so long that I can't tell anymore. poo poo's hosed.

The Twitter board would not let him on the board without a background check which musk refused to do. There was probably a drug test too

So to spite the board he agreed to buy Twitter and destroy it . That’s what he’s doing
