Getting “offended” about woke callouts is textbook woke ideology. And pretending to be baffled over basics concepts will only get you so far argument wise and to stall discussion. What is this “earth”? I think I’ve heard of that
Anyways- You are in a boot loop, restore your device first then unplug it, see if that works after a cool off period, and only then look to hardware failure after that. You got this!
Best thing that has happened to that company, it was very mismanaged. Same thing needs to happen to Facebook.
That's a shame - the last thing we need is more hate spewed on the internet. Now all the bigots can do it under the guise of "free speech" when they actually have no idea what that means.
That's the stupidest thing I've ever read on the internet. It's a completely meta-argument.
Answer the OP: What is woke and why is it a problem for you? How does it affect you personally?
And what a great thing it is we have free speech so you can decide what is the stupidest thing to have read on the internet. Ever? I’m sure that’s not true.
“Answer the op” you’re sounding awfully fascistic in dictating what I do.
Anyways- No. I don’t submit to the will of people who are piped into pop culture 24/7 and yet strangely now pretending to live under a rock. Nice try though.
No it's fine. It just shows what a mess the human race is.
In this thread we have people crowing for free speech not to help and assist and improve society but allow prejudice through racism and sexism to prevail. And they are celebrating the platform being open so they are now no longer marginalised for their backwards views. Well got some news here: life isn't going to get easier. You are being marginalised because you are promoting regressive thinking which is not welcome. And the opposition will get louder and louder.
So you have no answer? Or are you ashamed of the reason?
It would be fun to be rich and do this stuff. Such a power move.
Look. This is a good thing. If he follows through with the goal of not letting it become a cesspool negative 4chan type place then awesome.
I hope this allows social media and online interactions to become a place where the exchange of ideas can be heated but respectful, and not a place where people can endlessly trash “the other side” without consequence.
I admire his positivity and hope. 👍 society needs more people that are willing to “reach across the aisle”.

And he’s not some tiny cult leader like at Westboro Baptist.
Here is Eric Trump praising him (Greg Locke), at a conference they were both speakers at:

Eric probably doesn’t know anything about him, but hey, ”if he supports my dad, he must be a good guy” (paraphrase)
People didn’t used to be rude and antagonistic the way so many are today online and in public. It’s sad that so many people have seemingly lost the sensibilities that parents, grandparents and great grandparents instilled in us.
I thought this thread was about Musk buying Twitter and not grown-ups fighting eachother over arguments both sides are deaf for?
Maybe I'll start using Twitter now. It was a vile dangerous place filled with hate for too long. Completely biased and a tool to change elections.
The only thing he bought is $44B of attention. Twitter is worth nothing itself.
He's about to find out exactly how big his audience is and I guarantee it's not $44B.
I really don’t care to get into a flame war, so please don’t take my comments as inflammatory.
Reading your comment made me realize that those who don’t like the Musk takeover see everyone that disagrees with them as the absolute worst people in the world, whom are only fit to be cast out of society and burned at the stake.
So. Why it’s interesting is that of course you would hate this Musk takeover, because you fear that it will bring out the absolute worst in society transphobes and people bashers. That’s understandable that fear.
But it’s absolutely not true. There are incredibly decent minded folk who just like everyone wants to have a better life for themselves and others, and even though disagree, do so out of a genuinely good and positive place… not out of some blind rage hate filled heart.
It’s a difference of opinion, and if people were more willing to engage and have a civil conversation, there could be some learning and understanding and TOLERANCE of different opinions and thoughts.
We all have to live together, so knee jerk reactions that “the other side is the devil” is not helping us, but dividing and destroying us.
Last point to be brave online (lol): I am happy Musk bought Twitter, and I certainly don’t believe myself to be a hater in any way. As evident by this reasonable and engaging response to your post. I care to understand and heal the divide that exists in society right now… due in large part to the online hellscape of social media that allows the worst in human tendencies to flourish anonymously and easily.
I do hope Musk is right about curbing the worst in online exchanging, just like MR here has been managed successfully: people get suspended, hateful posts get deleted, but disagreements (respectful!) and conversations/arguments are allowed to remain… and the comments speak for themselves.

I don't care about Twitter one bit, but I am going to make some fresh popcorn for what's coming.
If you mean stocks - probably not. Elon is taking Twitter off the stock market.
