…and a democratic researcher determined big tech search and censorship influenced millions of results her direction.

We wouldn't need a Woke translator if people left when Trump was elected.

A 27 year old woman called her mom this past weekend to complain that she wasn’t being fed at a lake house, that the boat was broken, she did not have hot dogs cooked, and after eating food at a restaurant… complained it was cold… boxed her leftovers… then argued for a free meal. This was an uninvited sister of a friend. Today a man has asked me for the fifth time to deliver him a Christmas tree that I am giving away for free. No means no. What is wrong with people?

What is missing?

https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-11-07/is-elon-musk-a-genius-or-an-idiot Many Musk bashers on this here BBS signal similar thoughts to the LA Times article.

This gives me hopeful and optomistic thoughts.

Imagine calling the wealthiest man alive an idiot without crediting his accomplishments.

My brain hurts to think about anyone voting for four more years of this policy and culture... and it hurts to think about voting for any deep-state nut case. If this becomes a Biden v Trump election... folks are certifiably insane to vote for Biden. Forget the stupid policies on immigration, crime, etc. The open hypocrisy with how the government agencies are blind to the leftist errors and strongly convicting the right... and censoring information... is unacceptable. This current cycle is atrocious. Replace Biden and Democrats have a chance for my vote.

This forum, Rokfin, and Flo for wrestling news. Twitter for general news. Reddit for corporate leaks. Bloomberg TV for finance. I have little trust in major news, including those marked as unbiased. Validation, thought, and research shows the unbiased-rated news is typically biased :). I scan the major news headlines and stories to stay informed on the latest propoganda.

CNN lays out policies that Trump says he would enact if elected for a second term. https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/08/politics/trump-campaign-promises/index.html https://www.c-span.org/video/?524197-1/president-trumps-2024-campaign-announcement I like the direction on these Address the “disturbing” relationship between technology platforms and the government Foreign Policy: stop 'never-ending wars' Fentanyl: Former President Trump said he would deploy military assets to fight the fentanyl crisis and "inflict maximum damage" on cartel operations if elected in 2024, and he would seek the death penalty for convicted drug dealers and human traffickers.

Which type of 4D chess is this? The sarcastic kind where the strategy does not make sense and is doomed for failure, or the clever kind, where Biden is positioning himself as the student debt hero against the villain republicans?

The Ministry of Truth in the 1984 novel refers to a governmental institution responsible for altering historical records and disseminating propaganda to manipulate and control public perception. -------------- STATE OF MISSOURI, ET AL. v. JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., ET AL. | CASE NO. 3:22-CV-01213 On May 5, 2022, the Attorney Generals for Louisiana and Missouri filed suit against various named defendants for violations of the First Amendment. They asserted the defendants are liable for their conduct relating to the alleged suppression of certain ideas and viewpoints on social media platforms. Judge TERRY A. DOUGHTY wrote that the AGs are likely to succeed in their case based on the evidence. https://casetext.com/case/missouri-v-biden-4 This case is about the Free Speech Clause in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The explosion of social-media platforms has resulted in unique free speech issues— this is especially true in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. If the allegations made by Plaintiffs are true, the present case arguably involves the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history. In their attempts to suppress alleged disinformation, the Federal Government, and particularly the Defendants named here, are alleged to have blatantly ignored the First Amendment’s right to free speech. Although the censorship alleged in this case almost exclusively targeted conservative speech, the issues raised herein go beyond party lines. The right to free speech is not a member of any political party and does not hold any political ideology. It is the purpose of the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment to preserve an uninhibited marketplace of ideas in which truth will ultimately prevail, rather than to countenance monopolization of the market, whether it be by government itself or private licensee.

HAL, this is a safe space. There is no need for the control + alt + delete method to deflect answering questions. Scares me about republicans? There are times where more government regulation is required, rather than less. CEO pay does not bother me but pay the worker bees more, much more. Too much religion with policies. Not enough emotional consideration with decision making. Scares me about democrats? They want too much government control. Soft on crime. Soft on accountability. Weak on illegal immigration. Support the choice to murder the innocent unborn for what is selfish reasons in majority % of cases. Censorship in big tech and entertainment. DEI policies are racist and discriminatory. Believe they know better how to spend my money than I do. 100+ days of celebrating sexual preferences and raunchy parades around children. Riots. Majority of violent crime offenders. Play the victim. Want forced population control when it is not yet necessary. Too much emotional decision making. In general… …Anti global police. Taxes should pay for public college like it does k-12. Should have affordable healthcare through regulations and taxes. Be tougher on violent criminals. School should teach life skills and ethics. Ban lobbying and conflicts of interest. Cut gov services to pay down the national debt. Less gov services, bailouts, and taxes. Gov handouts should require energy / work in return. Take a scalpel approach to solve problems rather than blowtorch. No pork in bills. State power over federal power. Golden rule dictates policy. Debates with more than two parties present. No politician should leave gov. 10x richer.

The mission statement, the challenge, and working with motivated A players. —— As per Musk: “So the goal is to have Twitter be the best source of truth, the most timely and accurate source of truth, even if the truth is something we don't want to hear or unpleasant or whatever, but have it be timely and accurate and where you can really understand what's going on.”Mar 7, 2023 —— Twitter's mission is to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly without barriers.

Not now. I am trying to increase the family balance over the work priority, saying no to requests more often, and I think more about coaching than work. Not so long ago, yes.

I am a software engineer that has owned rate limited APIs. I’ll go with the industry explanation and trust what Musk said his reasons are.

Matt Levine knows nothing about engineering, is not paying attention, or cannot comprehend.

Say more about what Republicans values would influence you to vote red.

Musk votes blue… so does not align conservative… he just isn’t crazy left. Twitter is going to die any day now

Is 'running out of money' and 'pending collapse' wishful thinking? Twitter was roughly break even in April. Musk is winning his goal for Twitter: it is the best source for truth, timely and more accurate than big news, and less censored.

I will listen to RFK Jr and consider him even though we don’t agree on all issues.

The courts are bringing back accountability and common sense. Students should fulfill their responsibility of repaying the loans they willingly took on. Anyone that says Jimmy should pay back his gambling debts would surely agree... That said... the cost of education is too damn high and I'm on board with providing more affordable options moving forward.

Dude, merit matters topic?
