I SHOULD KEEP MY DUMB MOUTH SHUT INSTEAD OF SPEWING HORSESHIT ABOUT THE ORBITAL MECHANICS OF THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?

Apparently, this both bypasses the rate limit and performs much better than the official layout.

it doesnt bypass rate limit for me - you can get the timeline to work with some refreshing but people's profiles dont load. but maybe its because i already hit rate limit on regular twitter.

also fox news had a segment where they compared elon to xi jinping for this tonight so maybe that'll get him to fix it

I think one issue with all the rate limit fixes getting posted is people still don't understand that that Elon is lying about it being a daily limit. Usually these systems just block you for a few minutes or whatever, which is about as long it takes to perform the "fixes."

It's like if you saw lightning once and did a little dance before the thunder came and decided that the dance is what caused the thunder.

there was definitely a period this morning where the basic timeline was working perfectly and then it started spitting errors at me, so i believe there is some kind of attempt at rate limiting, but also just refreshing the page a lot usually works, and random things do/don't work even before or after this

i believe that hes *trying* to impose some kind of rate limit, but also, separately, the site is completely broken. so individual 'fixes' are going to work for some people and not others

yeah the rumour is he wanted noted racist Iggy Azalea but then panicked when Azaelia Banks appeared so he locked himself and Grimes in the closet while she happily did instagram stories at their bedroom

The difficulty with that line of thinking is that both Azalea (Iggy) and Azaelia (Banks) have had a history of posting racist and homophobic stuff.

Does Elon seem like the kind of person who would feel ambushed and defensive if a strong Black woman was accidentally invited into his house?

Oh, of course. There has to have been a reason why Elon would invite her over and ghost her. I'm hinting that he wasn't hiding from her due to her history of saying offensive things, but instead, it was over his documented behaviour.

Also more immigration. But the same people complaining about population collapse are also generally anti-immigration, because what they really care about is white population collapse.

The fact that Western Europe, The US and Eastern Asia are desperate for young adults while millions of young adults live in poverty in countries like Nigeria because there aren’t enough jobs are asinine

In the end, we as a global society need to allow free migration so that people live where there are resources and infrastructure to support them. It would lead to life getting better for those who are left too (most people prefer living around the places they were born if possible), and migrant workers both send money home that bolster the local economy and invest in businesses at home where they expect that the same rules we have here are followed. It’s also very likely they become more tolerant for LGBT+ persons and other ethnicities

Usually when you guys in the thread are talking about Twitter being broken it’s been working fine for me. I assumed it was because I’m in Canada and on a different server than most of you. But the last few days it’s been totally screwed up, even when logged in. Elon definitely hosed something up with the code lol

Certainly not against immigration (though it's not a simple and easy fix for everything either) but really we first need to unfuck our countries so that people can afford to and want to have children.

No, since I can't check on actual twitter. But seems unlikely that the few people I occasionally checked out deleted their accounts at the same time.

It’s not a simple or easy fix - and it does need a proper infrastructure to make it smoother because there will be issues

But at the same time, fixing our countries without increasing immigration will be very difficult. There are many childless people pushing 40 that won’t suddenly have three children just because our economy gets better - and because we have a lot of elderly boomers needing social services we need more people to sustain it. I’m also thinking that a fast timeline would be at least a decade if there aren’t any external factors that would speed it up

I mean yes, but on a large scale no the world doesn't need more children. We consume resources faster than they're replenished.

The only imperative for growing human population worldwide is more slaves for our Job Creators and more soldiers to feud with other nations.

If people voluntarily want to have fewer children, which definitely seems to be the case as a country gets richer even in booming money tree decades, great!
