You said yourself I didn't quote you. Why are you pushing back so hard on this? Is it because.... you're obsessed.... with Elon?

I said you were being a passive aggressive teenager because you were. Why are you in this thread at all with no Twitter, much less sniping like a teenage girl over someone who doesn’t know you, other than to hero worship? Lmaooo

Months ago I was saying Elon wasn't trending in the right direction for Twitter. Doesn't ring of hero worship, imo. You and your friends are in a blood orgy with Elon's failure, though. Obsessed. Emotionally invested. Your denials and deflections propagate and confirm the obsession.

Is it really worth your time arguing with a perpetual wagie that desperately wants to make sure everyone knows how smart and counterculture he is?

Yes. Because it is fun. I lost my old sparring buddy (Huff) because I got under his skin and he ignored me. I gotta replace him.

Elon worship has you using kindergarten “sitting in a tree” logic lol, it’s cute. Next time someone calls one of Biden’s stupid actions stupid it means they’re obsessed with him, and if they disagree it’s proof they’re obsessed, right? We are all using very airtight logic here

I'd say if they followed Biden's life with a microscope and posted every single news story about it regardless of how irrelevant, it could be considered an obsession, yes.

Great. When’s the last time I posted a news story about Elon, sparring buddy?

In fact, which one of us has more posts in this thread?

LMAO

As a user of Twitter who has never claimed to be leaving, changing the blue check from verified accounts to "these people have paid me (and/or I like them so am giving them a blue check and claiming they paid me)" is really stupid. Joe Smith from Hillwood High with 3 followers being "verified" and not the NYT because they're "69% government funded LOL I made a 69 joke" objectively is stupid.

To be honest, it's hard for me to see why anyone would get defensive or disagree with that, so if anyone is obsessed I would say it's those people

For the past six months or so, I’ve gone back to “turn of the century”browsing habits. I’m bookmarking good anuthors and checking in once a week or so with blogs like Scotusblog and Lost Art Press. I’ll probably buy an online subscription to the local paper for news and maybe NYT or WSJ, or some other national news agency, although that will probably be a trial and error process.

There are some drawbacks. I am probably missing out on some thought-provoking pieces just because I don’t have a stream of recommendations from people I follow on social media, but on balance I think that this is actually a better way. I don’t see much trash at all, I control whether I see outrage commentary or misrepresentations of either side on any specific issue. I’m not subject to some algorithm.

I used to value a broad range of takes on a specific issue, but there are just too many providers relative to the quantity of important events and many are distinguishing themselves in the area of sensationalist analysis, rather than accuracy on the facts. I’m interested in exploring whether choosing one to two trustworthy sources and sticking with them is a better model.

Seems like a better approach anyway.

Or you could use logic rather than hoping something is true due to bias. But it seems you'd rather be a doofus instead.

Results are on my side with budlight. You're just sitting there dumbfounded about it while others understand why they are where they are. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

You mean to tell me that you played the results and you were right about it?

I'm here to tell you that when it occurred, this result was obvious. It's a polarizing issue, currently. Therefore, this result was incredibly predictable. It's honestly not that hard of a concept.

I mean, it shouldn't be. But sometimes we forget who we're talking to.

When you want to "buy" a new market, you damn well better be sure you ain't selling your core market- and if you are in fact making that gamble (to trade markets), you better be damn well sure it will work.

Yet nobody can explain why every other company can get away with putting a rainbow on stuff and going woke on social media, including Coors Light.

Did the VP of Marketing say that the longstanding image of Coors Light was the problem and this was a new direction for the brand?

I'd also argue that the T in LGBT is the most currently debated issue and that BL singled out that one. Had BL put a rainbow on the can I doubt we'd be having this conversation.
