ddaryl Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 can we really call them tweets, it ain't twitter no more. I think its obligatory to call it X (formally known as twitter) then maybe we can squeeze a tweet in. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, everyone still calls it Twitter except for journalists who reference it as "X, formerly known as Twitter" 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 It's Twitter. It'll always be Twitter. And the things posted on it will always be Tweets. Elon can try all he wants to re-name, re-brand, and generally ruin the platform, but it will always be Twitter. It's a testament to how strong and how perfect the original branding and name recognition was, and how absolutely dog-sh*t of an idea it was by Elon to try to change it to begin with. He's trying so hard to force "X" down everyone's throats, and the world at large is like "nope, sorry. We're ignoring that. It's Twitter". Never seen anything quite like it. 7 3 7 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't particularly want to get into a back-and-forth about Elon Musk here and derail this thread (though we can discuss it in DMs if you want), so I'll just say: I couldn't disagree more with...pretty much everything you just said. Not a Musk fan. To each their own. 3 4 1 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X is the number 1 downloaded app in the world. It's gained 14% increase in users in the last 3 months. It's the ultimate beacon of unfiltered uncensored material in the world. I love it.

Musk has 3 successful businesses while facing some of the most scorn in this world Id take musk over bezos any day. At least he makes his people go to work. Bezos started selling books online and since has changed the way commerce works worldwide. His company is part of regular life for pretty much every consumer. Musk makes cars that Americans don’t want to buy and if it went out of business tomorrow , consumers wouldn’t care. Speaking of that, Tesla lost $95 billion value in 2 weeks. He turned Twitter into a money loser, busy running it into the ground. 2 1 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musk has 3 successful businesses while facing some of the most scorn in this world Id take musk over bezos any day. At least he makes his people go to work. Bezos changed modern commerce. His company forces other retailers to use it or forever be compared to it - their fulfillment and distribution alone would have been world changing - all companies are expected to offer unattainable fast shipping times. Thanks to Amazon. His company changed how we live and spend our money. 167 million Americans have Amazon prime. Musk is a lunatic who has admittedly done some cool ***** but is now on a “free speech” kick which we all know really just means you can go to Twitter now and feel free to be a bigot or conspiracy theorist and not only not get banned, but get cheered on by other weirdos. What a legacy. And as far as “at least he makes his people go to work” couldn’t sound more Boomer of you. I’ve been working completely remote for the past 6 years. Oh how I miss the hour commute and the “culture” that requires adults to get permission to wear jeans on a Friday as some sort of award. 😂 1 2 2 3 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That's No Moon Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I'll say this. I deleted all things Facebook and Twitter 5 or 6 years ago now and not only do I not miss it I think my life is better. The Missus needs to have it for work, but she just took it all off her personal devices as well. For every decent thing on there there are 100 pieces of toxic garbage and if you look at toxic garbage enough, whether you agree with the garbage or disagree with the garbage it messes with your mental health. I don't need to hear what every idiot with opposable thumbs thinks abut every topic. I don't need to know the stupid crap my own family is getting into. I don't need to see the carefully curated set of images people put out there to look better than you. I don't need to see the ridiculous, clearly attention seeking, posts that people put out there waiting for a response. It's all crap and it's all crafted to keep you engaged with it longer and longer and longer consuming more and more of the garbage, giving your brain these little dopamine hits every time. Try completely turning them off for a week. Just a week. You'll thank me. 5 1 2 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I see that this thread has devolved into arguing about Elon Musk. I think a "Best Bills Tweets" thread is a great, fun idea that deserves to stick around, and should have many pages of amusing and interesting content for Bills fans throughout the offseason. Respectfully: is there any way the Musk argument can be taken elsewhere, so that this thread doesn't end up getting derailed and closed? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand and respect your point of view, but...good luck having any kind of productive conversation on Twitter. You can post the most well reasoned, evidence-supported, objectively true analysis/defense of a player ever written, and you'll just get a response back that says "HoW mAnY RinGz Tho lolllzz 🤣🤣" The level of discourse on Twitter tends to be somewhere between "6th graders on the school bus" and "your dumbest cousin after drinking a whole six pack". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
