Twitter is better

I like your comment.  For some reason.  I think this isn’t a “never ending twitter post”.   It is but it isn’t.  
 

the fact that cnn or other left leaning news establishments are putting right leaning ideas on their show is telling.  Their ratings tanked the last few years.   It’s fascinating fwiw.   

left leaning news establishments are putting right leaning ideas on their show is telling.

It is. It really is.

What it is telling is that they are rejecting the D vs R fight that gets neither of them anywhere past 50%. And, MUCH MORE IMPORTANTLY, it doesn't move the country forward when everyone is preoccupied with the dumb constant R vs D battle while the needle stays in the center. The result is that we just grind to a halt. They see that and are responding to it.

All this time, while we fiddle with D v R crap, other countries with bad intentions are preparing for military action.

Put your R v D garbage aside.

Once Trump is in office and starts commanding the military, I suspect we'll all legitimately want to be on the same side. Not saying it will get ugly. But it sure as he** could get ugly with a moments notice anytime.

Instead of BS'ing around like petty little bitches, it'd be better to get our stuff together and act like citizens of a proud country.

That would do us well, if we can put it together.

Again with the never ending Twitter post?

If you know how Scott Jennings is making an impact at CNN almost daily, you wouldn’t have to follow the supporting Twitter link.

If only we had some sort of precedent to know how this would go...

If you have an even remotely intelligent comment about my last post, do us all a favor and "say it."

We are indeed not all on the same side.  And I am not proud of this country.

Good news. Twitter debt is back up for sale.

The investment banks that financed Musk's purchase of Twitter are back in the market trying to sell the hung debt. And word is they have already sold a tranche. Price talk is in the 90 to 95 cents on the dollar range. It is apparently that high because it includes a previously undisclosed claim on some xAI equity in the event of default.

People are too sensitive to words.  

I'm not bothered by by words when they accurately describe someone; what sometimes upsets me is when they're used maliciously without justification.

When I think of "faggot,", I think of a gay man who expresses himself like a woman and prefers clothing that aligns with female fashion.  The least amount of words I could use are "Feminine gay men." None of the words here seems inaccurate or malicious to me, rather they are descriptive.

That Atlantic article uses an example "i don't know why but i think it looks so gay when guys drink star bucks lol."  Without intonation, this is an observant opinion.

Without context, given one man drinks a sugary fufu drink and another drinks a black Pike, no sugar... one man is drinking what is largely observable as what women drink.  This is not indicating the man is worthy of ridicule.  

If you call me an asshole, and I am acting like an asshole, that is a fair word choice.

Believe it or not, gender norms have positive traits.

I don't care if you lilies disagree because "words have baggage."

It is rather silly to me that we cannot say words because some people think they are harmful.  I won't say them because I need to get along with society, but society is weak...

I'm with you but we are showing our age.  It seems with on going years words develop evil connotations even though they did not start out that way.

Don't judge a book by its cover... oh snap!

https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/publications/deep-neural-networks-are-more-accurate-humans-detecting-sexual

Given a single facial image, a classifier could correctly distinguish between gay and heterosexual men in 81% of cases, and in 74% of cases for women. Human judges achieved much lower accuracy: 61% for men and 54% for women. The accuracy of the algorithm increased to 91% and 83%, respectively, given five facial images per person. Facial features employed by the classifier included both fixed (e.g., nose shape) and transient facial features (e.g., grooming style). Consistent with the prenatal hormone theory of sexual orientation, gay men and women tended to have gender-atypical facial morphology, expression, and grooming styles.

People should be allowed to say whatever they want.  But saying hateful things certainly shouldn’t be encouraged, so there may be consequences for things you say. The issue as it relates to the title of this thread is that posts like these can now earn people money (although in this particular case it looks to have been community noted which may demonetize it.  Apparently the article screenshotted was from 2012).
