His vision of Twitter as the digital town square is in fact a gated community with a really shitty HOA.

General Discussion / Re: AmeriPol thread
« on: December 20, 2022, 08:26:08 pm »When republicans are in the minority in Congress, they always stymie and hold up the omnibus bill for concessions or just to make the Democrats look bad for "failing to prevent" a government shutdown
Last two shutdowns were the Republicans fault though and people know that.
Particularly when Trump was all “I could stop this shutdown now but I won’t because I’m a cunt!”

I think it popped up when Musk initially floated the idea of buying Twitter. I first posted in it today *shrug*

He probably won’t. If people are paying for a blue tick, it means they apparently don’t mind his nonsense because it was a controversial thing to do in the first place.
As I said in the Twitter thread though, it allows people to make the joke that free speech isn’t free anymore.

*puts on tinfoil hat*
He is deliberately attempting to make Twitter fail because it will dampen progressive voices (because all of the largest social media companies are socialist, despite being at the heart of capitalism and making their money off massive invasions of user privacy) and amplify conservative voices, by making Trump’s social media thing a more appealing choice than the flaming wreckage of Twitter.
*takes of tinfoil hat*
I like how he’s changed the policy so that only paid for blue ticks now get to vote, ‘cause now I can make the joke that free speech is not free anymore.

I second the love for Slay the Spire, fun game
Hollow Knight is also good, a challenging game if you like that sort of thing.

I’m going bananas apparently.
I was sure there was another copy up for grabs when I made the first post claiming it from the orphanage (‘cause Mookzen clearly edited their claim post by hacking the server so it didn’t show as edited between when I saw it and claimed it) then couldn’t find that after you posted sending the keys.
So sure, let’s also sign up for 112 Operator in the hope the fictional emergency services help me find my marbles.

I think it’s time we told you about a few things.
So, your body is changing, you might get hair in weird places, and you might start, you know, really “noticing“ certain other people. You might start getting spots and greasy skin, but it’s all just a part of growing up.

Before reading the article I was going to say that feeding stray cats is bad because it keeps them round a particular area which can be a danger to them and other tiny wildlife, but they were feeding the cats to catch them and get them neutered, which is to be applauded.
Absolute waste of time and resources.
