As mentioned previously, these numbers don't actually represent the number of people who watch the videos, just the ones who scroll by the Tweet. The actual number of people watching the videos is much lower, but Twitter has removed the stats for video views.

First blush: cool aesthetics, not digging the functions so far. Need a chronological option.

Zuckerberg's newest creation is put. Is it a viable threat to Elon's Frankenstein? I don't know, but it's the first one I've signed up for.

Totally.

This is just classic political debate. If Nancy Pelosi said anything left-leaning, people who agree with your apparent political leanings would either ignore it or blast it. Because she agrees with your pre-existing opinion, her words now have value? EDIT: I'm not even sayin that you're the only person or that conservatives are the only ones who do this. I'm just talking about the value of this type of discussion without something of substance beyond their statements. She also issued this (also valueless) statement after the decision: https://pelosi.house.gov/news/press-releases/pelosi-statement-on-supreme-court-decision-on-president-biden-s-student-loan

The Biden angle of this is really simple and y'all are trying to make it complicated. It was a campaign promise, he tried very publicly to deliver on it and Republicans killed it. Straight-forward politics.

Well it's the thought that counts.

If it makes you feel any better, this opinion pre-dates my leftward shift, back to when I was a hardcore Republican.

A classic in the "this terrible thing that happened to me is ACTUALLY good!" genre.

I do not known the specifics in this case, but the court absolutely has the power to order them not to have any contact st all.

"My political opposition are all foolish pawns, unlike the independent thinkers on my side of the aisle."

Sort of. Beyond just the legacy admission problem you and others have discussed in this thread, you also have the issue of gifted students from poor communities with fewer resources, and how do you sift thru and find them? Their scholastic resumes aren't going to be AS good, but that doesn't mean they aren't superior academic prospects.

Musk has endorsed Ron DeSantis, who is very right-wing. Maybe he voted Dem at one point in his life, but he's very obviously shifted his politics now. It happens. It happened to me, for example, just reverse of him.

I'm honestly not sure what this is even referring to? My last post was telling @Wrestleknownothing that I believe @jross saying Twitter was breaking even was referring to Musk's own claims, nit an earning statement. I don't personally care if Twitter lives or dies. But I do find the idea that Twitter is better nowseems to correlate to your political ideology. I care about it functioning dependably. The functionality and dependability of the site has gone way down. Online conservative folk want to cheerlead for the guy because he aligns with them politically. I don’t care. I'm left leaning, but i use plenty of businesses owned by conservative people that run just fine. Twitter function worse than it used to. There isn't currently a viable alternative, so m stuck.with it for now. As to Musk specifically, I think he's a very wealthy man with an overinflated ego and overinflated reputation based on some timely investing rather than his own superior intellect. That doesn't mean he knows nothing but he's not the tech wizard he holds himself out to be. Mostly, he employs those people. He's big idea guy, which is fine, but actually getting those ideas to market? Not his forte.

I'm pretty sure April is when Musk said in an interview that Twitter was "roughly breaking even." Make of that what you will.

LOLOLOL. Sure he did man. The site was virtually unusable (again) but it was actually a GOOD thing. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

Big day for the "Twitter is better" thread!

So random web designer who doesn't actually have a business yet is allowed to discriminate if/when she ever opens up her business. Currently open Colleges, even private ones, are not allowed to "reverse discriminate."

You're right, but that says more about the viewership than the format, unfortunately.

Because those fees are up front and easy to understand, and the banks compounding interest is not. When the financing options are presented to you, they are designed to look simple and easy to understand, like a car payment, but many student loans essentially become negatively amortized by the low-paying jobs students get when they first get into the workforce not matching up with what they were sold when they entered, leading to students being stuck with non-subsidezed compoundingi nterest loans where they end up paying close to double the original loan amount thru interest accruing; that is where the colleges are most at fault and predatory, IMO, in their fudging the numbers on employment rate ("our finance majors are employed at a rate of 94% within 6 months of graduation" while leaving out the fact that many of them are employed as waiters or something unrelated to their degree.)

It doesn't have to be one or the other, but either way, what the banks/lenders do is far more predatory than what the schools are doing.

I'm going to need some time to divorce myself from the events to really give an unbiased opinion. However, right now I would have to argue that Spencer techfalls you and your face and all other wrestlers' faces ever.

So now you're taking one written adjective and deciding what I think and feel, despite me explicitly stating that I do NOT know if those things he claims are true or untrue...simply pointing out that he doesn't either. I have not posted anywhere that I know Trump to be guilty of anything, although many people with federal experience that I know tell me that the case looks bad, but they think he might get a favorable plea deal because the nature of the documents in question is so classified that prosecutors would rather not have to go thru the process of having them declassified so that they can be available to the public potentially during the discovery process. I don't have an answer as to where these documents are because I'm not an investigator or federal prosecutor or Trump himself. There are multiple possible explanations centering on why they might not have located the document(s) in question and thus made the decision not to charge him with the document: 1. The documents were given back during one of the many known attempts to get them back, and that's why he wasn't charged with the retention of those documents. (SIDE NOTE: People in this thread and elsewhere are saying that CBS is reporting that the documents weren't found. That is not what has been reported, actually the CBS report says "It is not clear from the indictment if the documents referred to in the recording were recovered by investigators. " https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-audio-describing-highly-confidential-secret-documents/ ) 2. The documents are still in Mar-A-Lago in a place that hasn't been discovered. 3. The documents are at one of his other properties that either hasn't been searched or that federal LEOs doesn't have jurisdiction to search. 4. The documents have been destroyed. 5. The documents have been sold. 6. The documents were never there, despite the actual words he said. All of this ignores the facts of the situation in that he WAS charged with retention of many other documents and the recording appears to have been used to show that, despite attempts to argue that he had the ability to declassify them in his head without documenting it anywhere and after he was out of office (which he and many of his media proxies argued), he knows he didn't. Right in the original Tweet: "The Trump recording involved publishers and writers for Meadows's book, so it would follow that the documents Trump was referencing were actually The New Yorker article as well as Meadow's report"

Given how everything has played out, I would have to be PRETTY unreasonable to say that Spencer had a better college career than Gable..... Fortunately, I am exactly that amount of unreasonable. #SPENCERGOAT
