Someone tried to explain to Elon that social networks make money by monetizing user data. Now he is paranoid that everyone is trying to steal Twitter’s data.

I am incapable of understanding how a blue check was ever considered a status symbol when it just functionally tells you the user really is who they claim to be. The "elitist" portion comes from actually being that famous celebrity or billionaire or whatever. Pretending you're on equal ground by paying for a checkmark is incredibly stupid.

It is literally magical thinking. They think manipulating the sign will manipulate the object being signified. They can identify a relationship between two things but they don’t understand or willfully ignore how that relationship works.

It's so weird that he bought Twitter to turn it into Gab. Like just save the $44 billion and buy Gab for like $1 million or whatever that dump is worth.

That’s like asking why he would go to a fancy restaurant, order an expensive meal, and then poo poo on his own food when he could just poop in the toilet at home.

Have they defined what is active and inactive? Do you need to post every 30 days or simply like/retweet something?

Rules are just excuses for the powerful to do what they want. They’ll mean whatever they want them to mean until it is convenient for them to mean something else.

There’s an element of “lead a horse to water, can’t make it drink” here. Some people decide to be unreachable despite the communication efforts of scientists and policy makers. See ivermectin, vaccine hesitancy, etc. If it’s not directly experiential (you never hear anyone arguing that gasoline is a shared fiction and cars really run on unicorn poo), it can be ignored or misinterpreted. Blame shouldn’t fall entirely on educators for not making reality sufficiently exciting that it overcomes some people’s tendency to want to be part of the exclusive “in group” that has all the real answers.

Most of what people are told about the world are self-serving lies. Everyone knows this and everyone is desperate to escape. People are just randomly swinging at things in the hope they’ll break and reveal the truth behind it. Most will fall further into traps that target this aimlessness.

I’m begging people to watch less media and stop thinking this is a real thing. It is just the writer’s excuse to not kill off a character they like. Martyrs are as meaningful to a cause as a new logo. Nobody respects someone for getting killed.

They had to say he came back to life to make anyone care. He got to enter heaven as a living breathing person and resides there to this day.

People love martyrs as excuses for whatever they wanted to do anyway because people love excuses. One more thing to scream during their usual psychotic behavior.

If your criticism of martyrs is that they don't get to control how their memory is used after their death, I've got some bad news about literally everyone who has ever died in any circumstance..

No, the criticism is that martyrdom exerts no persuasive force. It will not alter the actions of living people. People may say words about it but those words don’t matter.
