  • “Who on earth” doesn’t only speak of quantity, it also speaks of quality.

    The amount of decent, quality people with something to say and contribute to the Twitter is down to almost nothing, relative to what it was prior to elon.

    You can lose “just” 20% of the cereal in your bowl of lucky charms… Yes, most of the mass is still technically in the bowl, but you can lose all the marshmallows in that equation, meaning you’ve lost all the color, texture and flavor that made the whole thing interesting in the first place - you’re then only left with the mostly flavorless, empty, gray, soggy kibble pieces. You’re mistaking a pulse, for a meaningful quality of life.

    So, that’s modern Twitter, it’s the plain gray kibble* disintegrating in warming milk. And for “fun” they’ve actually added dog shit, rat poison and rusted razor blades to the kibble.


  • They increasingly can’t view those posts though.

    And I’d argue that the general public actually does care, you can see this reflected in places like all EV sales rising EXCEPT for tesla, Twitter losing half of its advertising revenue (a reflection of elon/Twitter being toxic to their sales goals and the platform rapidly losing eyeballs) and of course basic meme culture. The public care enough to laugh at and reject him.

    So actually a lot of reality in clear opposition of your unsupported opinion there…














  • “Okay… You win. We heard you loud and clear on pricing, so the new AFFORDABLE (I mean as far as we know - what’s a gallon of milk cost these days anyways? Like $27?) Apple iPod VR is only $2000!! Wow. What a real savings. You’re welcome. Brave. Also, minor thing, it doesn’t come with internal or external screens. But of course, you can purchase an additional subscription to unlock the ability to consume the audio of select limited content at 50% audio volume compared to original model!”

    Made your daddy proud… Proud.





  • I just don’t think I agree with this though, and maybe we’ll just stop at a fundamental disagreement.

    Again…

    • pairing different general body types in weight classes where applicable

    • as well as the potential for that general physicality test to set a minimum for a league.

    • plus time to normalize true co-ed competition where folks grow up knowing nothing else but normal and aren’t stigmatized for developing their body to fit a given sport’s ideal need.

    The third one probably asks the most of current society (though that’s a sad comment on society) in having to accept the appearance of someone actively acting against currently socialized standards of attractiveness associated with assigned sex. But if we could trying embrace those three, my personal hypothesis is that things would level much more than most expect.

    The true and only reason that we don’t do this, is that it would label those bottom third or so of males that fear they would be labeled as “less capable than a girl!”. Whereas now, even the worst players on the high school football team can usually get on the team and wear a jersey around campus, regardless of if they ever actually get into games. That kid’s bigoted parent will fight to be sure “their son’s spot” is not earned by a more capable birth assigned female.
