But honking will get your bank accounts seized and have you declared a terrorist.

Wow. The delta between the entitlement that you have for your "second full time job" and your expectations vs the reality of the history of people going to work is pretty astounding.

> Which is demonstrably false.

If that's the case, be demonstrable then. Given the physical size of the virus vs the size of holes in say, a cotton mask, combined with the infection rates for the strictest masking areas, I would say your statement is demonstrably false.

I switched to Dynadot years ago since they hosted wikileaks. If figured if they could handle that domain they could take care of anything of mine. Nice interface, never any issues.

I bet there would be a whole lot of people that would join elon-twitter.

They certainly had no problem with selling to Saudi Arabia.

It closed $.18 above initial offer price in 2013.

You're not the richest man in the world. It works different if you happen to be though.

However, I think it's a harder case to argue when twitter stock closed at $.18 above the price they went public at in 2013. Sounds like whatever it is they have been doing hasn't been in the interest of the average shareholder either.

The stock is toast regardless after this.

But it just makes you ask why. Without at least some way to "upgrade" back to the original functionality, what was the point? Were the COGS that bad?

This is the natural reaction to the implementation of various fiscal policies by the US. This sort of flat and reduced market is historically consistent.

When the policies swing back, so will the market.

I think the bigger issue is finding the places where strict mask use has reduced COVID. You seem to think there is a lesson to be learned however I'm unable to find any data that support that lesson. Yet, you assert it like it's truth, as if you know the truth and can back it up somehow, but you don't.

It's also terrible to consider that "enhanced health services" are only reserved for certain shades on the color wheel.

There in-lies the problem. "Hate speech" is just speech you don't like or choose to be offended by. You have no problem with "hate speech" that suits you and your political worldview.

aleister_777 — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 03:22:36 +0000

Yes. Life saving information has been restricted and then shown to be true at every milestone of this "pandemic" (you have a better chance of dying due to stairs, or driving btw), and this continues to be the case. Big tech's policies to project "the truth" have killed thousands.

I believe the use of a contract and signatures in fact does literally make it legal, since that is the point of a contract. Everything depends on what you signed.

I worked for Crowdstrike. We did this hack as our primary demo. Dmitri is on the Atlantic Council along with the rest of the Obama team.

There is no more evidence to suggest Russia was involved than there was that Dmitri himself was for political reasons. And Shawn Henry will fire you for saying this out loud.

I was speaking to some Russians at a party yesterday. They lamented at how Russian and American media were mirrors of each other.

Russia uses America as the core of their propaganda just the same as the DNC has been using Russia as their boogoieman since they needed a narrative to apply to Trump.

As someone who formerly worked for Crowdstrike and has performed the APT-29 demo countless times, I will say attribution is bullshit and people frankly have no real data to point fingers.
