  1. As I said, my issue has NEVER been about the laptop. As I said, I don’t GAF about the laptop. For some reason you keep going back to that.
  2. Oh get the fuck out of here you clown. This is a Musk thread where most think he’s a dipshit and lines are being crossed given what he’s doing now.
  3. Well I really, really don’t want this to be CR talk. The NYP may have been moderated, maybe (I’m not sure of specific examples), but flat out suspended?? I don’t recall seeing where that happened prior to the laptop story. It’s why the whole thing was such a fuck up on Twitter’s part. And the rest of what you said is 100% conjecture.
  4. “Harmful content.” Are our elected officials deciding exactly what that is so that we know when and when not to apply it? Or, are we being subjective in its use? I know you know the answer and that’s my point. This is a super complicated thing, IMO.
  5. Dude, I’m not trying to gaslight or do any of that shit. Isn’t what you described exactly why we have “journalistic standards?” And if a media outlet presents information or an article that they say passes their muster (addressing every single issue you mentioned), we give them the initial benefit of the doubt no matter what? Whatever the Post had done to date…99.99% of their content was deemed acceptable. Then suddenly there’s no more benefit of the doubt?
  6. What am I talking about? New York Post had over a million followers on Twitter at the time, maybe even close to 2 million. Media companies routinely use Twitter and other social media platforms to share their content. I have no idea why you cap-spelled newspaper. So yeah, as badly as you want to marginalize what their suspension means, as I said before to answer the original topic of “what’s the big deal here” it’s that a media company was silenced and unable to share on a platform… The fact we are finding out more now seems appropriate so it doesn’t happen again.
  7. I have no idea where the CR lines are on this or not so I’ll stop at the risk of making an opinion other than “media outlets as a rule shouldn’t be suspended like what the Post endured” …but ultimately I find it hilarious people are shitting on Musk for sharing all this new information. I get that people hate him and want to see him fail. Richest man in the world doesn’t mean he’s a visionary, that’s for sure. The fact it hits such a nerve to some makes me think he’s doing something needed, however.
  8. And perhaps I misunderstood…the Post was suspended and unable to post anything on twitter for like 2-3 weeks after posting the laptop story. That’s what I meant by “shut down.”
  9. He seems to have hit the mark. I would argue the opposite. If they were posting that much with no effect then why the sudden change?
  10. I think where I draw the line is that news outlets shouldn’t be silenced/suppressed/censored (whatever you want to cal it) on popular social media platforms purely for political reasons, period. The biggest issue here to me isn’t remotely what Hunter had, did, lost, etc…, it’s that a media outlet like the New York Post was shut down for reasons that shouldn’t happen.
  11. Jiang Zemin (96) died a couple days ago. Would you all believe someone in the thread actually picked him? That’s one way to earn 4 points. RIP.
  12. Man, fuck that punch bag Raphael.
  13. Raving psycho! Butchered 400 chickens and screwed a beagle. I’m taking him back to Nevada where he’s wanted for banging horses!
  14. He was already on my planned list…hope he pulls though the next month.
  15. Is Radio Shack fully dead? Others: Ringling Bros Circus Sports Authority MoviePass 10-10-220 (fuck those commercials)
  16. What are the odds he/she has already been executed?
  17. This business will get out of control. It’ll get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.
  18. When I was 12, I helped my daddy build a bomb shelter in our basement.
  19. Classic wives and the stupid shit they say: "I don't understand what Wichita has to do with a snowstorm in Chicago. What's going on, Neal?"
  20. Anyone who'd pay $50 for a cab...would certainly pay $75.
  21. Another sale, Mr. Costanza! Chalk me up on the big board!
  22. Is this your first rebellion?
  23. "The empire is a disease, that thrives in darkness. It is never more alive than when we sleep." JEEESSUUS. I think I'm ready to fight now, too.
