B-Man Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Huh. Surprise!

B-Man Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 A report from The Verge shows us that internal documents from the company reveal that since the Elon Musk acquisition of the company, user activity and growth has spiked significantly. https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/7/23445476/elon-musk-twitter-user-growth-all-time-high-advertisers Why, it would almost appear as if people are hungry for a free and open arena of ideas without the oppressive sword of censorship looming from on high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep both sides from being able to pass the crazy stuff they both want to. Not vice versa. Dems deserve to lose the House - they took a narrow Presidential win in 2020 and acted as if they had a mandate to enact a left agenda. The course correction was inevitable. But Republicans can’t be trusted with the Senate. If some Democrat (I hope not Biden) wins the electoral college in 24 we can’t risk the Senate trying to negate the will of the people by post-election shenanigans. I’m sorry it’s come to this. The pre-2020 me would’ve been happy to see a Republican majority in the Senate now. Not anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree on this part. The won the president, a small majority in HOR, and really no majority in Senate yet as you say, they acted like they has a super majority and could cram down all the stuff they've Benn wanting to do for 40 years. Their majority wasn't even big enough to get all their own people to vote for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep both sides from being able to pass the crazy stuff they both want to. The R's can't pass anything they want even if they win both Houses. They won't have a veto-overriding majority in either House. Edited November 8, 2022 by Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, but it'll mean that basically no justices get confirmed for the next two years because the GOP only believes in power. They will leverage that power to keep as many vacancies as possible (no matter the harm) in case they win the White House in 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you see, you can’t seat a judge in an election year and that’s why we can’t even interview Garland. Also, you can seat a judge whenever you want, so we need to get Amy Coney Barrett on the court in a matter of weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make my kid use VR goggles for a college foreign language class. Something about it lowering your inhibitions in trying to converse in a new language. They all think it’s the stupidest thing they’ve ever had to do for any class since kindergarten. If you’ve lost the 18-21 year olds, who are you gonna convince? The day my job tries to replace the horrors of Zoom calls with Meta VR avatars is the day I retire. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
