These tweet limits seem rather high. Wouldn't this only really cause issues with brand/customer service and bot accounts?

To be clear, I understand the poo poo show that must be going on to require such limits. Just curious about why THAT.

Twitter needs revenue, very very badly. Most social media sites do that by getting revenue from companies in some way or another. Failing to get ads, they're taking a page from every other social site and offering additional functionality to the paid accounts

... except the additional functionality is just poo poo removed earlier. Social sites usually give the paid accounts first dibs on new features - twitter is now giving feature dibs on new first. It's all mangled and from a viewpoint that the companies are stealing money/value from twitter, versus said companies basically creating the content that makes twitter A Thing.

And if DeSantis somehow ends up winning he's going to get absolutely blitzed on Social Security and Medicare/caid.

Donnie's already testing out "I will never cut Olds Insurance, DeSanctimonious voted for cuts!" but he's probably too dumb to make it stick. Give that same line of attack to a Democratic president stuck in the 90s and DeSantis is going to yell about gas stoves and girls while getting obliterated by Olds Insurance ads.

Wonder if DeSantis could bribe trump for an embarrassingly small amount. Like $40k to drop out, then promise to name an aircraft carrier after him.

It's going to be a weird version of funny to see what Republican hopefuls do with all this. After years of telling their base that Donald Trump is a deity made flesh and bone for 6 years, they have to somehow convince said base that Donnie is a lying loser who lost to Dementia Joe. Don't think that's going to fly with 50% of Republicans!

If they were rational actors, yes. But we’re in a world where if a candidate ran with no platform and his ads were just him silently putting bibles in an wood chipper, if he had (R) next to his name he’d still have a floor of 30% of the vote.

I am in the process of converting to Catholicism, which requires you attend like six months' worth of classes called RCIA, or Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. Last class was about Catholic social teachings, and the speaker was talking about things like caring for the poor, showing compassion and working towards the greater good, uniting as workers and supporting unions, caring for babies even after birth, being against the death penalty; you know, typical Democratic views. Looking around the room, I noticed a lot of the men in the room getting uncomfortable.

What was really hilarious to watch was their reaction to her talking about women's rights and how it pertains to contraception and how the church is beginning to lean towards accepting its use within a marriage due to allowing for the safety of the mother in spacing out pregnancies, and to help ensure that the number of children they have is sustainable. I saw one old dude's face turn beet red in barely contained anger.

I get the mindset of "I grew up Catholic and was taught all my life that this was anathema" and reacting badly. Dumb but I get it. But this was a convert? From what? Why are you mad at this religion you're still learning? :psyduck:
