    Like I've said before, every porn site I've been to has a Facebook, Twitter, Insta, etc, etc, button.
    Why do they have the button if porn isn't allowed?

    Yeah, we really shgould stop trying to hide creating a hostile work environment behind religion and free speech issues. You are allowed to be an offensive ass, but when you start insulting your co-workers and making work that much more toxic I am with the employer on firing your worthless ass because you are doing a professional service for someone else and not there to fuck off and screw things up for your amusement.

    Not defending her, but how did Block manage to tie the account back to her and did her pseudonym accounts mention an affiliation to Block in any way? There are some serious privacy concerns here.

    Again, understand that I'm not defending what this woman posted but the story seems very incomplete.

    Your problem is you are canadian, and by that I mean stupid. Not that all canadians are stupid, but around here most of them are, and some are even violently stupid like @14thDoctor .

    That was a long way to go to kick 14th, but I was bored and about to be stoned so I figured WTF, haven't kicked that bitch in a while.

    Without announcement Twitter restored verification to everyone who had it before he bought the company. Even those who have left the platform.

    :lol:

    Fuck this idiot really has no understanding of his product and is just flailing at this point.

    In a move that Elon could not possibly have approved, they also gave the restored accounts the ability to hide their blue checks.

    I was on the old Twitter last night perusing the cesspool that is the "For You" section when I came across a particularly vile blue checkmark account. Black people suck, immigrants are going to murder you, Trump is the best - the usual shit but angry

    The account joined in June 2022 and has made 191,000 posts in that time

    That's ~ 270 posts a day solid for almost two years

    So, obviously a bot or a shared troll account maaaaybe.

    Just keep that in mind when Elon says traffic is up on Twitter. He's relying on bots that spew complete garbage to maintain the image of success

    The proper use of bots is to pull random clips from Youtube and freeze the video while "Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got here . . ." audio is superimposed.

    Anyone who says that we do not need diversity has never seen a black woman cut through the bullshit like a boss. It is something white women used to do when they werre roseanne, but unfortunately many of those women turned into Karens when Trump arrived.

    80's me never ever thought I would ever hear Roseanne stumping for one of the biggest most outlandish toxic males ever. Perhaps she was sucking Andrew Dice Clay's dick behind the scenes and poor little 80's me never knew the CHUDs owned her.
