I dropped it when trump was spewing his bs on it. My feed was 90% Trump bs and re-posts. I actively dumped fb, twitter and a few others back in 2019 and My life has been so much better since then.
Like he cares. He bought it for money and political reasons. And now, because of piss poor decisions, the company has been devalued from $44 billion it is now only worth about $4 billion. What makes it so sad is a lot of online companies are following suit thinking they can do what he couldn’t.
You do realize that X is now it’s official name right? Elon changed the name to X and deprecated the twitter name. At the end of the domain registration, he is not going to re-register twitter.com as the domain name, and because he owns the trademark on it, he is going to sue anyone who tries to re-use the domain name.
Not completely true. Are there shot pirates yes, just like there are shit uploaders that think it’s fun to bundle a computer virus with downloadable content.
If it’s something new, like a new book or movie, I will pay for it. The movies/shows I pirate are old and mostly out of circulation, unless they are streaming on some service. I pay for those so their is monetary transactions.
For example, I just recently spent 2 days downloading CHiPs original tv series, even with my high speed broadband it was that slow because there aren’t that many people offering it. Took me 3 days to find it to dl.
Not all piracy is bad. New stuff, ok not cool. But older stuff that has had a good run, the loss of revenue to creator/publisher is so minimal that they won’t feel it.
I’m an ethical pirate, if I think it’s worth watching over and over again I’ll buy it, if it’s available. I won’t pirate software or books.
I have kindle for reading and there is nothing new worth downloading software wise, plus I use linux on my computer, so all my software is free anyway, and if I can’t donate financially I find other ways to help. I’m not a big gamer and when I do game it’s on console, so I do pay for that.
They never did, but trump was behind pushing for the vaccine after big pharma said they may have it. He claims that operation warp speed was his doing.
Nope and I don’t care. I have no reason to go around any potus, no matter who they are. Besides, the Covid testing thing is really no different in any other country that wants to protect their leaders.
The thing is Biden was working on fixing it, it’s just there was so much damage by the time he got in office, there was no quick fix. Remember governance doesn’t fix everything immediately or overnight upon changing of the guard.
Everyone expected an overnight miracle which is impossible to achieve. They aren’t god or Jesus as depicted in the book of fairy tales called the Bible.
Umm you got the wrong person for that. Get it right 90% of Covid policies were enacted by trump, Biden didn’t come in until the damage was already done.
It’s funny how everyone looked up to trump for pushing the vaccination as fast as he did, only to condemn Biden for following through with it.
Because of that condemnation, the right-wingers refuse to take the vaccine they were so happy to take when trump was in office. So tell me, who’s the idiots now? Sure isn’t the dems.
I do get them once in a while. Although, they tend to be fat and few between. Lol

This way you all have the same interests working to your advantage
Yeah if you aren’t used to hurricanes it can be difficult. I learned that after I move to Texas and got hit with my first one. I grew up in the Midwest o I was used to tornadoes, but tropical storms and hurricanes were completely new to me.
Problem we’re running into here is it’s so hot and dry we are starting to see fires caused by spontaneous combustion here.
Wish I could say the same. It’s been so hot here in Texas, you wanna sit around to be in the a/c.
Currently on week 4 of 100+ temps, and no relief in sight. They keep saying 50% chance on rain and 2 days later it’s no where to be seen forecasted. It’s so dry the grass crunches under your feet like you’re walking on sand spilled on pavement.
Yea, see I live in an apartment, so I am stuck using those indoor antennas
USA here. Where I live if you want to watch anything you have to pay for it or ride the high seas. OTA doesn’t work in rural communities, this signal is too weak from the big cities, and even in the city OTA can be questionable based on location.
Personally I think if the player can’t shoot through the walls than neither should the npc’s
I like playing modern warfare. My pet peeve is twofold
1st, online is completely unplayable because of script kiddies having to cheat because they think their k-d ratios are more important than letting people have fun that want to play it they way it’s designed.
2nd on the campaigns the enemy players can shoot you through walls and kill you, but if you see them and try to shoot them through the walls, the walls become bulletproof.
Another game I like is GTAV online. They should get rid of the ability to buy virtual money packs. Not everyone can afford to pay $100 for $10 million virtual dollars to buy the shit that gives them the essence of i destruct ability. Oppressors come to mind on this. You can steal peoples cars left and right but if you steal an oppressor they can reclaim it while you are in mid flight killing you.
I had a cat named murderous nightmare that used to talk to me. Even have a video of it from my wife’s phone. She would yell at me while I was dressing to go to work, when I was cooking dinner and when I got home from anywhere.
very true, but if you remember correctly a similar thought process killed IE, and is now harming Edge on windows. The only draw back is everyone wants to use chrome, not realizing how much info they are handing out to Google. Many just don’t care, and yet they will gladly complain about privacy on other matters.
You’re welcome
Nothing wrong with that. When I see a re-post from X/twitter, or whatever he wants to name it in the future, I happily scroll right by it.
I say let him go bankrupt trying to save it.
