I don’t understand why all these chindians are so lefty and woke. Didn’t their families come from a literal caste system? Run away from that and buy into the lefty democrat caste system? I swear these third world types are retarded.

You are spot on. I am from the same 3rd world. In my observation,
Most of their parents either directly work for or do business with commie corrupt gov to get easy money. Their children are shield from real world problems. Once they move here, they join dems and thinking being right is "racist". Other category is already slaves in their minds and looking for next masters and chains themself up and ignore what this country offers.

This jives with a few of my indian/chinese immigrant tech coworker friends. They all seem to view "the right is racist" as fact, and view dems as fighting for minority immigrants like them, dismantling whyte privilege and supremacy so they an have a more fair shot in america. Im not surprised they took on such views, as its what the dem platform is designed to do, and seeing past it IMO usually requires paying close attention, and many people just dont care much about politics, and so dont deep dive and think deeply about some of this stuff. I think most live in quite the liberal media echo chamber.

That vid is an instruction meant to be downloaded into NPCs via antenna.



Since theyre losing control of twitter, and wont be able to stop the truth now, they turn to the next best thing aside from censoring the speech - convincing NPCs the they should block and ignore. Basically, since they cannot stop the broadcast of speech, they will try to stop the reception of it.

If theyre smart, they will start a new campaign where wokes are encouraged to virtue signal by posting screenshots of how many raycist trumpers theyve blocked on twitter, making it into a competition to ignore as much "hate speech" as possible. Not posting screenshots = closet trumper.

Insights into the deal. It's all about the shareholders.

Holy Shit! Thanks @Onvacation

That Leslie Berland (Twitter CMO) is a total loon: "Musk has questionable ethics". And sounds like a "Strong Woman" which is now what they call that rhymes with "Switch"

Instead of wasting $44 billion buying Twitter, Elon Musk could have spent it on the Clinton Global Initiative to eradicate poverty throughout the Clinton family.

Further regarding DJT sr getting deplatformed from Twitter. I think it was an early sign of the coming over reach by a political group (Uniparty collectivist-globalists) that thought it had won the final battle. They did it because they could. There are plenty of mean tweeting people on Twitter.

This was really about defenestration of a political opponent.

We should call it what it is.

Let's look back for a moment. Why was Trump deplatformed from Twitter? What specific thing? Because he was mean to people? It was way before January 06, so that is not the reason. Was there an official offense? "Glorification of violence policy"? Because he would not go to the inauguration? Pretty contrived.

In my case it was posting the video of the Canadian COVID care alliance regarding the Pfizer clinical trials of the mRNA vaccine. https://www.canadiancovidcarealliance.org/media-resources...

All of which was demonstrably true, and is now further validated by the court-ordered disclosure of the FDA documents.

It looks like he has waited for all the Starlink stuff to get up there before going to town. Some were upset he offered Starlink to Ukraine to keep their comms and internet going, but that was kind of like DARPA offering the people a 'free' spy app called Facebook. I wonder who was getting all that Starlink communication traffic?

And get rid of the kiosks. Ever since they were installed, McD's has gotten much slower. No human cashier = no accountability. Just a number on a screen, no face to order. So the cashier never turns to the supervisor and says "That guy has been waiting 10 minutes." "Oh, no, I see the problem. Harry, get the fries on."

Instead the minutes just go by as you wait . I waited 20-30 minutes North of Orlando and waited an hour in Brevard. It was so bad the Uber drivers got cancellations and people left without food. And yes, I go once a week for my kid to get a cheeseburger. Even the turnpike one was slower than shit. I never remember fast food being this slow - and never remember Dunkies closing at 5PM, drive-thru only, or not having anything after 1PM. Frankly, I think corporate America stopped giving a fuck, and it reminds me to buy from real people and small business.

Agreed. Most of the automation has gone horribly wrong. Even the automated barista you see at a few airports and downtowns only.

Goes without saying that corporate America has used the scamdemic to drastically cut back on any and all customer service. 24/7 service is so 2018, it's now monday to friday 8 to 3 ET or fuck you. And you now get machines that will refuse you the option to to talk to a representative and even purposefully hang up on you. lol

Yep, had this experience just yesterday with the Power Company. Took over my ex-wife's bill (I try not to give her money but rather pay bills, which have a record and I know things are paid), paid the past few months, all of a sudden there's an extra month's charge and a bigass late fee. Took me 30 minutes of calling to get somebody in India... and the phone system kept sending copies of my bill to my email like 5 times until I figured out how to get a fucking person since I knew what the amount was, I was disputing it. Any case, they lifted the late fees but I got stuck with an extra power bill, dammit. Turns out she didn't pay the month before she had me start paying, but because of COVID or something it never showed up until now.

Self serve kiosks are slower because most people are morons. It take more then one self serve kiosk to replace one human cashier.

This event has given me another example of why Trump fails.
He is a Pompus showboat blowhard, that wants all of the credit and all of the glory for "Make America Great Again".
Every time someone comes along with a MAGA or America first gesture, and wish to combine forces with Trump. He trashes them, and kicks it down, and tries to distance himself as far away from it as possible. Now one could ponder the reason being he's wary of sabatures sent to engraciate himself only to crap on him and undermine his efforts. That would be a valid point, except he accepts every vile disgusting Snake Viper, Wolf in Sheep's clothing, and Mule Skinner that was sent his way to fill a government spot, when he was President. The only person he picked that didn't stab him in the back was Ben Carson.

But yet he refuses to shake any America First hand that is extended to him. He smites them down, and talks shit.

The Truth is Truth Social isn't going to go anywhere. It's doomed to fail hard and fast. How many months has it been already and it's still not a growing community. There's no daily Truth Social posts from Trump. It's as if Trump will only join his own fucking Social network AFTER it reaches critical mass. "Oh I'll post on my own platform, if millions of you assholes join and post millions of posts a day.

The Tech industry is huge foe of freedom loving MAGA movement. Musk comes along and buys it, and straight away there was a buzz that Trump would join. What did Asshole do? He released a statement to the effect, "There's no way in hell I'll ever join Twitter, because it's what people expect me to do, I'm going to do what I want to do!" at least that's the way he comes across.
He could have been more gracious and sent out message celebrating the new management and the slaying of one of the giants. As for joining or now, he should have said he will be watching and following to see how it turns out, as for joining "We'll See!".

Instead he puts out a definitive statement that he will no doubt have to back track if it does take off and freedom is restored. Hell I may even join Twitter if it turns out right. I mean I wont right now, but I'm more open than I ever have been or would have been. At least there's a chance if things go well. Which we all know Trump would join under the same sentiment, no matter what he said in his press release. Which makes him a bit of a Mealy Mouthed Milquetoast doofus!

He still has my vote in 2024, only because his real worth is what he can do for America on a international stage and benefits it gives our economy. That's why he needs other MAGA minded people, for him to pull of his plan. But instead he'll go in there again, and accept every Cock Roach and Snaggle toothed Rat they send him, like happened in his presidency.

This. My first W-2 job was a bagger at a grocery store when I was 14. I like the self serve to be honest, because I know how to use it and be quick about it. Even with full service I'll still put my frozen foods next to each other, cold stuff like cheese together, boxes together, etc. to make it quicker for them to bag it. And living in the country I need to keep the cold stuff with cold stuff for a 20-30 minute drive. I'm polite, but if I see them fucking up bagging I do say something.

McDonalds it makes no sense to automate it. Though I rarely go. Last time I dealt with it I just walked away and let the wife handle it. No patience on my end. It's so much easier to say I want a #4 or whatever with large fry and Coke to a person that uses the system daily. Groceries are different if you've had to scan them and bag them for hours a day in the past. Problem is most people are morons as you mention. You'd think after a good 15 years or so of these systems people would get better?

Dunkies closing at 5PM, drive-thru only

The Wendy's on Valley Mills Dr. that has been there since there was Wendy's has gotten so bad you never know when the dining room will be open. When it is, it's bedlam. There'll be five people gathered around the registers trying to figure out what's going on. I waited 30 minutes for an order and when the trio that ordered after me got their order, I told them I wanted mine next. They looked at the screen and I hadn't even been put in the queue.

I, for one, am enraged by the sinister @elonmusk plot to allow ordinary citizens—many without PHDs, let alone NYT subscriptions—to freely express themselves & question the unblemished wisdom of politicians, gov’t experts, even CEOs. This is the dark & dangerous road to democracy.

https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/youve-been-misinformed/?source=patrick.net

Isn’t it obvious by now that pervasive dishonesty is the foremost crisis of many crises in Western Civ generally and American life in particular? All our authorities have made themselves false, lying their way into the broad collapse of confidence that drives the nation toward some culminating horror show of strife and loss.

The go-to lever of concerted mind-fuckery has been the term-of-art misinformation, applied especially to things and propositions that are truthful — thereby confounding the public’s ability to discern truth in anything, or to discover how they are being misled in matters of life and death. We’ve allowed the worst in human nature to disgrace ourselves. Satan, Father of Lies, is Western Civ’s paragon of disgrace, and so American life appears more and more Satanic and disgraceful.

All this was epitomized in the operation of Twitter, the cheerful little bluebird of social messaging which evolved in a very few years into an instrument of coercion, punishment, deception, and lying, until it became clear that Twitter’s misinformation was misinformation itself. Half the nation doesn’t believe anything it is told by those in authority and the other half revels in its reckless abuse of authority.

And so, it’s refreshing to see one Elon Musk act to seize control of this Satanic vector of disgrace. Mr. Musk appears motivated to defeat the culture of lying by restoring open debate in the ubiquitous online public arena. It’s a heroic deed. But, you see, it’s not merely Twitter’s management or its biggest shareholders that Mr. Musk is messing with, but malign forces in the US government, which have surreptitiously taken control of Twitter and other social media to work its will on events. If you don’t know that Twitter, Facebook, and Google are proxies serving the US Intel Community, then you have not been paying attention.

Using Twitter to impose that culture of pervasive dishonesty in public chatter is what gave permission for all others to follow the script. Medicine has succeeded completely in disgracing and destroying itself by lying about everything connected to Covid-19, from its origins, to the insanely outlawed treatments for it, to the harmful actions of the vaccines, to the hidden data that might tell us the results of all that lying. Twitter set the tone for that with its censorship policies. Anyone who suggested that lockdowns, masking, remdesivir protocols, and vaccine mandates violated common decency was tossed out of the arena, often with added punishment of losing a career, a professional license, a livelihood, and having to endure the betrayal of colleagues cowed into silence.

Twitter also enabled the suicide of higher education, which has succumbed to a plague of Jacobin craziness that would embarrass the inmates of an old-time locked ward. The failure of authority on campus is cosmic. Can you name a single college president who has raised a voice against such manifest idiocy as men competing in women’s sports, the invention of ersatz fields of study, the re-segregation of dormitories and graduation ceremonies, the shouting down of invited lecturers, the persecution of free-thinking faculty, the kangaroo courts for sex disputes, and a hundred other violations of intellect and decency?

All this coerced insanity has been nurtured by social media’s sly mechanisms for bending narrative into propaganda: their beloved algorithms, all fine-tuned to destroy anything that touches on truth. The result is a country so marinated in falsehood that it can’t construct a coherent consensus of reality, and can’t take coherent actions to avert its own collapse.

Mighty forces are marshalling to prevent Elon Musk from buying up Twitter stock and taking the company private. BlackRock, Vanguard, the prince regent of Saudi Arabia are all principal stockholders in Twitter, with gazillions in capital to theoretically match and overcome Mr. Musk’s moves. Meanwhile, the Tesla boss maintains a prankish self-confidence in this exploit, offering cryptically comic gibes to a news media that is openly vested in opposing him. You have to suppose that he’s gamed out the gamble. He’s looking like someone who has dealt out a hand of cards aiming to shoot-the-moon.

The prospect of an open public arena for ideas is exhilarating all of a sudden, considering how the information-stream got hijacked in service to the wicked. It’s fun to see their tortured casuistry as they plead for “content moderation” — the phrase du jour for censorship, as if it were a good thing rather than the opposite of anything good. This feels like the beginning of something positive after a long siege of political degeneracy. Let the sunshine in to disinfect the arena. Cast the Demons back into darkness. You go, Elon!

"It does not surprise me to see that some interest groups are planning on throwing the kitchen sink at this transaction in an effort to derail it," Carr added in a statement to FOX Business.

"Of course, the FCC has no authority to block this transaction. And while I am not in a position to speak for the DOJ or the FTC -- the other agencies that were identified in that Open Markets Institute release -- I am not aware of any basis upon which any federal agency can block it," he said. "But I defer to those agencies to speak to the scope of their authorities."

"Suffice [it] to say, it is far from clear that the groups objecting to this transaction are going to do so because they're interested in the neutral application of competition and antitrust laws -- these efforts look like a move motivated by a desire to prevent the free exchange of political views on Twitter," Carr concluded.

Tenpoundbass says

The Truth is Truth Social isn't going to go anywhere. It's doomed to fail hard and fast.

You don't understand the problem.

There's a bunch of money invested in Truth Social, Trump can't abandon it just because Twitter was purchased by Elon Musk. He has a fiduciary duty to keep it going.

My first thought when he bluntly said no to rejoining twitter was that he knew doing that would kill truth social, because many people wish to join there specifically to hear trump. If he were to mitigate that exclusive benefit of joining, it would probably make his business partners and investors furious at him, not to mention hurt his own pockets.

But I suspect hell go back to twitter in time (after TS flounders)

Hircus says

Musk may find out he can't change Twatter and in which case Truth Social can be a competitor.

Trump may find out that Truth Social does OK even despite Twatter doing well and reforming as well, but could angle that into a buyout of Truth Social by Twatter.

I don't think Trump should go back to Twatter not just yet, but TS needs a fucking web interface.
