Apple Executive Phil Schiller Deactivates Twitter Account

[Treq]

I don’t like trump. The Jan 6 stuff is standard partisan ********.

No it isn't. You have to admit that. If you watched any of the Jan 6th hearings, most of the people testifying about all the horrible things trump was doing were very right wing republicans. People who even voted for him, yet they believed that democracy was more important than one sociopathic baby man like trump.

Twitter is a private company.

When Trump was banned, Twitter was actually a public company for what it is worth.

A partisan show is all those were.

Well, There is no tolerating the intolerant. The left is the tolerant, but only to a point. The right has moved so far to the right that we are seeing fascism make a comeback. It's hard to see a family member or friend support that. When the Republican Party becomes more reasonable, maybe people might get along again, but until then, I certainly don't want fascists at my thanksgiving table. Also it's the right wing that has been hammering the wedge between the the left and the right, is it no wonder they are moving apart?

Toleration isn’t about letting people run rampant. It’s about respect where respect is deserved. The kind of “toleration” that the poster is asking for is not toleration. It’s a request to roll over and be victimized. A position that does not rise to the level of respect. As you say, no one is under any obligation to tolerate the intolerant. But that won’t stop MAGAs from playing victim.

Publicly traded. Not publicly FUNDED.

HUGE and CRITICAL difference.

You couldn’t be more wrong. But you’ve effectively exposed yourself as a literally blind partisan. Fun for you!

 

[ProfessionalFan]

If you aren't in the echo chamber, you're a radical right winger these days. I am sure I'd be called one even though I'm a registered democrat who has voted democrat most of the time in my life.

And to prove this is true, someone here just referred to me as not only a republican but a "MAGAt" whatever that is.

 

[Kierkegaarden]

you could've done that with the whole stock market this year and done well

Certain stocks yes, but certainly not everything — the more speculative blue sky stocks like Meta were hammered. But those that tried to short a company like Apple may have gotten caught in a short squeeze and lost. I was actually shocked that Netflix recovered like it did. Shorting is too risky for me.

 

[Mr. Skeleton]

So I see you’ve missed the point completely. No surprise.

Oh sorry. I forgot that democrat propaganda doesn’t exist

You don’t even know what a fascist is. Grow up, my guy.

How many companies are not down this year? Even Apple is down around 17%. I know 54 percent is a larger number but still, it isn't like Tesla is the only company down.

If I were an investor, I'd wouldn't be worried as much that they are down 2x to 5x more than the market averages. I'd be really worried about the 57x PE Ratio. I don't see any way possible they substantiate that. They'd have to make more profit than the rest of the car industry combined - and their CEO is heavily distracted.

Having never made any such claim your straw man is noted and ignored.

Netflix is down 51 percent this year though, what was the low point for them?

Make Apple Great Again (today)?

One can only go by what you post.

 

[Treq]

You mean when he said in the infamous speech to march peacefully?

No the one where he said "We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore," on the same day that he blamed Pence for not disregarding the will of the people while insurrectionists were chanting "Hand Mike Pence". The one where he said that knowing there were people with weapons out there saying let them come in they "aren't here to hurt ME"...

 

[Surf Monkey]

You don’t even know what a fascist is. Grow up, my guy.

And you do? I wonder.

If not fascist, the Trumpist ideology is absolutely and demonstrably totalitarian and anti-democratic. Deny it until you’re blue in the face. Makes no difference to the established facts.

Yeah, really stretching it here. Where’s the tweet that got him banned?

You’re a partisan person. Everything is political through your lens. It’s sad. I hope you find less enemies through media driven boogeymen and find peace.

Again… I’m don’t like trump. I don’t like very many politicians because they are all hacks. They are all enemies on cspan and buddies behind the closed doors.

We’re just cannon fodder. Better see that soon or just be at risk being another bullet for the side you think cares (they don’t).

 

[Kierkegaarden]

Netflix is down 51 percent this year though, what was the low point for them?

$162.71, then recovered close to $300.

 

[thettareddast]

Most will not actually quit, and the people that follow through will be back.. Just like they didn't leave the USA when they said they would. All the "quit" talk just shows what an echo chamber it was and that nobody really wants any opinions other than the ones they cuddle up with on their tear stained pillow..

The fact that everyone needs to talk about twitter 24/7 is telling. When I quit something I don't need to virtue signal that I quit it.. lol

The narcissists require an audience to witness their neurosis. When they find that missing elsewhere e.g. on Mastodon, they'll come right back.

They always come back.

See, I said the thing. Now I’m on top, look at me everyone! I said it, so it’s a fact.

You mean you’re so deluded that that tacked on CYA nonsense actually fooled you?

I wouldn’t be advertising that if I were you.

 

[1885507]

Well then I must be in good company, I deleted mine already.

 

[ProfessionalFan]

Facts. They are trying everything possible to stop Trump from running in 2024. Anti-democracy. They don't want to give people a chance to vote for him again.
