Rules don’t matter at all compared what they aim to achieve

If you’re driving with a significant speed difference from the cars around you, you are making yourself and all other cars in the area less safe. You’re also creating traffic behind you

Why? I’m not convinced he’s the adjuster. Genuinely, I’m unconvinced he’s the right guy

If you think I’m going to open up Twitter for any reason, you haven’t listened to a single goddamn word I’ve said.

Have fun screaming at windmills or whatever

I publicly humiliate them until they keep their bullshit bottled up. I’m ready and eager to punch any Nazi with the balls to stick to their guns in person

I don’t know what the fuck it is you do, but I’m guessing it’s undermining everything you claim to stand for

Jesus Christ…I’ll put in the time to make leftists better at messaging, but at best you’ll hop onto the bandwagon of someone who knows what’s going on

Well I hope you find someone wiser to follow while it matters. Otherwise, have fun sniffing your own farts or whatever

What are you on about? That is so incredibly far from anything I said

Being on Twitter doesn’t make you a Nazi. That’s a wild fucking take

Pick a leftist voice, or basically anyone who does public messaging. Look at their socials - Twitter is on there.

Why? Because the largest audience is still there! And yeah, the platform is controlled by a Nazi, and it boosts Nazis. It’s a cesspool. People should migrate, to mastodon preferably. But they haven’t, because it’s a process that takes time and work

But labeling everyone still on Twitter a Nazi, or even a Musk supporter, is just putting your fingers in your ears and declaring the Nazis have won already

Lol. I accept that the Nazis exist, and that they’ve taken over mainstream social media

I also don’t use mainstream social media and I strongly encourage others not to. And I also face reality. People value their dooms scrolling too much to listen, only one person in my life has made a change, everyone else shrugs and says that’s where their friends are

Any platform that allows Nazi speech is a Nazi platform, but not everyone on a Nazi platform is a Nazi. Social media grows and shrinks according to the network effect… Twitter will only completely die once another micro blogging platform becomes the default. We’ve seen it play out over and over

You have to accept reality as it is and meet people where they are. Applying your own morals to others does nothing but make you feel superior in your own little bubble

If that was true, why is there constant news about him getting butthurt from critical tweets and using his authority to suppress them?

There’s a lot of people still on Twitter for a simple reason that has nothing to do with Musk… Getting a population to relocate is hard. That’s where they were before the takeover, that’s where all types of public figures have to be to reach followers, and so that’s where people go to interact with them

It’s going to be a slow decline as alternatives slowly grow to critical mass, and eventually the dead platform will no longer be the place with the biggest reach to most intended audiences

I used Twitter for all of a day, but you have to be real with it

It’s an ocean with a whole lot of toxic spills. The whole thing is polluted, but some of it is nearly clean while others are basically tar.

There’s too many people doing too many things on that platform to condemn them all… We need to get most of them somewhere safer, but that’s where they are right now

Quickly? Not from my perspective.

It’s just that suddenly the curtain was ripped away. We all knew this was the trend, it was just never so direct or blatant

It absolutely is… Basically anything spread to advance a cause or change behavior is technically propaganda. Generally, we use the term just when it’s done by or on behalf of a government, and especially when it’s pushing disinformation, but it’s all propoganda

The purpose of this is to push support, or at least normalization of, harsh treatment of Mexicans in the US or on the border. It’s also an intimidation and humiliation tactic

No matter how you slice it, this is blatant propaganda

It predicts that Tesla could save money by padding the numbers, and does a little fraud automagically

Judging by how the people in power seem to like badly implementing ideas from cautionary sci-fi books, here’s my guess:

They’re probably using a point system. If you have an immigration hearing, a million points. If they find your name on a visa (not even necessarily you), that’s 20 points. If they find your name on an arrest record, that’s 10 points. If they find your name on any immigration court records, that’s 10 points

Then they sort the list, send ICE after people with the highest scores, and are slowly emailing their way down the list to anyone with like 50 points or more

Taken right after the handshake

I think you replied to the wrong comment, but I agree

Granted, if they could actually make this work, they could probably do the robotaxi thing or even get into logistics. That would make it easily worth it to build dispatch centers basically everywhere

That is, if they could make it work

Nah, there’s not that many. There’s large swaths of the US where you have to drive across multiple states to get to one, in part for legal restrictions on dealerships

No. You have to practice, or you’re just holding a threat. A threat likely to get you shot

Yep… It also puts pressure on Bukele - I mean, remember his comments to the media

“I can’t smuggle someone into the US, and I’m not willing to let them walk around my country, so I guess there’s nothing to be done”

The man didn’t say he wouldn’t return them, he made it very clear the ball is in the US’s court and he hasn’t been asked to give him back. He said it was impossible to see the victim, and yet when a US senator still showed up they arranged all this

America is the customer buying a service here…a customer known for having a huge crew of assassins with lots of experience overthrowing South American countries

Not really… You can get a cheap pistol or a shotgun for $200-$300, solid reliable handguns start at ~$450 and you can get a military grade rifle for $800

It’s not nothing, but it’s the same price range as most phones - if you want the fancy one with brand recognition you’ll pay twice as much, but you can get quality pretty cheap if you do your research
