Elon Musk now owns 9.2% of twitter...update.. will soon be the sole owner as Board of Directors accepts his purchase offer

[Vic]

Seems we've gone full circle and this is going nowhere but another bash fest.

My original post was about how I got banned for ridiculing them and how I acknowledged that freedom of speech is not actually being applied to Twitter like promised. Don't try to pull the constitution, this is about Twitter itself. I know they are a private company and can do what they want, but Elon said he's allow freedom of speech, and clearly it's not the case. I thought that's basically what you people are also saying so not sure why you're trying to spin this around on me. I am literally agreeing with what has been said overall about him breaking his promise.

Twitter has nothing to do with free speech. Because free speech has nothing to do with twitter. It's a private company and they can regulate the speech on their private property as they see fit. Don't like it, embrace the free market and leave.
That entire "free speech on twitter" line of BS was a red herring created by right-wing shitheads who want to force unpopular hate speech and other forms of uncivil speech on normal people who would rather not have to see that vile shit. You complain about LGBT stuff, and how you don't want to see that, but yet can't figure out that adults wanting to have civil discussions would rather not have to deal with nazi trolls ranting low IQ talking points and partisan sheep bleating nonsense bipolar propaganda all day?
Which is the important part. Twitter's decision to moderate hate speech off its platform was entirely a business decision. As Musk is learning right now.

I think you should take a chill pill.

I don't think they should pass a law saying that you should take a chill pill, but it's my opinion that you should.

You can choose to not do it, and as long as nobody tries to force you to do it, I am not removing your freedom.

Translation: denial

 

[Zorba]

Well pardon me. Who exactly is taking away your right to ridicule them?

If you ridicule him for ridicule them, you are taking away his freedom to be an ignoramus without consequence.

The largest institutional abusers of children is the Catholic Church, of which I can almost guarantee the regressive squirrel is a part of. But it's the gays and drag queens that are the problem.

I think he dost protest too much, like most of these clowns.

it's been my experience that these guys are usually from small evangelical churches, not to say it doesn't happen at the Catholic churches because it definitely does happen there as well.

that's way to far south for Red to travel to though, he might have to interact with the scary coloured people there

Back to making fun of Elon, what a great week he's had

I’d say it’s about time to delete my account

edit: requesting an archive of my data then will “deactivate“ my account.

just removed my phone number

So twitter never notified me (via email) that the archive was ready. Might ping ya with a notification if you're on there a bit.

Anyways, archive was ready, expires after 7 days. Acquired it, and Deactivated my account.

buh bye.

More Twitter drama.

Twitter apparently repealed the policy of banning links to other social platforms. That lasted less than 24 hrs. Instead they've put up another poll - they really love those polls - asking whether or not they should “have a policy preventing the creation of or use of existing accounts for the main purpose of advertising other social media platforms.”

Twitter deleted its controversial new policy on Sunday evening that had banned links to certain other social media platforms, less than 24 hours after the policy's initial introduction.

These polls merely highlight what was already obvious.

Elon never really had a product vision for Twitter and still doesn’t.

I don't want to derail the thread too much here, but wanted to point to a medical journal article in JAMA from Feb 2022. This is one of the most respected names in journal publishing BTW.

Oh, and apparently my suicide risk is higher since transitioning because someone said it is. 🙄

Let's see, what have I accomplished since transitioning...

I am a practicing well known and respected internal medicine physician practicing in one of the countries largest Healthcare systems. I am also adjunct faculty at a local university and teach medical students regularly. I got attending of the year last year. I give medical lectures. I am active in 5 medical committees. I have served our veterans working at the local VA. I was chief resident of my medical program and rewrote the training program.

I am married to my wife. We have 4 kids. I am active in my local church. I donate to local charities. I play the piano, organ, violin, percussion and guitar. I have been in plays and musicals. I have performed at the university level. I speak Spanish.

I am a transgender woman and have had "surgeries." Last I checked I am happier as a consequence. I see it. My family sees it. Apparently, I am required to prove it to the world with my accomplishments and prove I am not some freak.

BTW, I have genetics that point to intersex conditions. Wouldnt have known that by looking at me.

I love how it's so obvious that Red Squirrel has never met a transgender person in his life and yet feels compelled to post his uninformed opinions about the state of their mental health. Red Squirrel, the IT guy, who doesn't read medical journals or anything about mental health, and has never even interacted with a single transgender person.

 

[WelshBloke]

Lol.

Taking over after Musk leaves the role would be the worst job ever! Anything that goes wrong would be your fault, anything that goes right he would take credit for and all the while he would be pressing you to implement his insane ideas!

I hope he doesn't step down.

I'll have to read the entire study when I have a moment, as the first page is contrary to everything I've ever read about the subject.
Do you know right off hand if there will be a follow up in five years? I would find it very surprising if the results weren't positive the first year, and would expect those results to trend down over the next few years to fall in line with other similar work.

Ya gotta love bigots. Subject non-conforming genders and transgenders to endless ridicule, social rejection and abuse and then use the inevitable outcome of that abuse to claim they are inherently mentally ill.

This is the same catch 22 of racism. Mire people of color in poverty with systemic racism, then point to ALL the obvious outcomes of poverty and say, "See? They're all ignorant thugs and it's their own fault!"

Of COURSE transgendered and non-binary people are more likely to be mentally stable when LOVED AND ACCEPTED and more likely to be mentally unstable when rejected and abused. We all are.

Weirdly I thought that it was common knowledge that life outcomes were more positive for transgender people that get treatment to live the way that they feel comfortable in rather that struggle on uncomfortable in the skin that doesn't fit them.
I thought that there were a bunch of studies showing this?

Apparently you've done this study already, is it published? I'd like to read it.

I don't know the answers here, I'm not even sure if I know the right questions, but I am curious, so I read what information is available. What I find to be a complete waste of time are the people like yourself that declare the "facts" and claim seeking information is bigotry.

Elon would likely dictate what decisions are made. You wouldn’t be running much.

to hell with that. I will be doing something along these lines.

I would not put a plug nickel in that guy's pocket.
Besides that^, they are only selling powerwalls for homeowners in conjunction with their VERY overpriced solar panels or roofs.

That’s a serious ass battery, probably around two days of run time if you reduce some unnecessary items.

He'd absolutely be blaming you when his decisions went wrong though!
