My company tripled the Twitter marketing budget . We care about getting more customers, not politics.

What's your company, Komrade, so I know where to not spend my money?

A debate at this point is unnecessary, Harris destroyed the cost of living in 4 years, we don't need another 4 years of that.

Trump was better at literally every marker that impacts the majority of the USA population.

MAGA.

Do you look like a Parrot or just talk like one?  Fact is, Harris doesn't make policies.  The President does.  How about all those Pence policies, right?  It's a great MAGA distraction to blame everything on Harris, but the fact is, like all Presidencies, the VP doesn't do much.  

Trump is a felon.  He instigated a coup.  He lies so much he can't tell the truth anymore.  He's nastier than a middle-schooler.  Those markers are important to me.  Of course, if you did what Trump said and ingested bleach during COVID, you're unfortunately not around to vote for him again.  Oh, and his partial wall has lots of holes and WE paid for it.

Twitter has become a sh!tshow. A dumpster fire of epic proportions. But the parody blue check account posts were epic!! Hilarious!!

I saw on the news today that bankruptcy for Twitter isn't off the table.  Is this how he operates Tesla and his rocket ship company?  Jeezus!

This article is being questioned by others saying the person who tested did not count the "Safari renderer" processes (which are rather large memory consumers) when counting Safari usage.

I, personally, set Safari and Chrome to open the same 5 tabs at start, and if you count ALL the Safari processes, it's actually MORE than Chrome.

This article is just untrue.

Sounds like an ill-timed, but productive visit. Certain elements in the Legislature and right wing media are sure to make hay out of it. But if you ask me, good business ties with China are super important, even in the face of recent geopolitical events. China will to be less inclined to damage their best customer.

Lol. Do you think Russia is less inclined to damage us after we
— gave them Ukraine’s nukes
— gave them the USSR spot on the security council
— shut down our own rocket engine manufacturing and made our rockets dependent on their engines
— made them key partners in the ISS
— let them genocide Chechnya
— let them conquer Georgia and Moldova and Crimea
— gave them Big Macs and iPhones

Of course not. Dictators can’t stop themselves from attacking us. We need to be ready. Apple is making us dependent rather than ready. 

Wow! All Russia's fault. US is the victim. Hate Russia, LOL.

The US is very young compared to Asian countries, particularly China. Unfortunately, because they are the current "world leader", that has gone to their heads, and no other country can be as great. That's the illusion right there. World powers come and go, and have for eons. The US will lose their dominance eventually. And we can only hope that the next world power will be democratic. and more mature and advanced than the current US leadership and population.

True only when it’s allowed to happen. Strangely, our government is now more concerned with gas stoves and air conditioners than they are with innovation, marketplace excellence and military superiority. Recipe for disaster. 

It’s really only a certain segment obsessed with gas stoves.  Hint: it’s the same segment who are banning books.  Maybe you need to take a break from that rhetoric.  It’ll do your heart good.  

There is no rhetoric coming from me. 

Banning books? You mean the books with pornographic content in the libraries of schoolchildren?  And you think that’s bad? Parents across the country are confronting school boards over this. It’s everywhere. That’s not making books illegal. It’s getting them out of inappropriate places where impressionable kids can get into it and back to where adults can choose to read it or not. 

Wow. 

A stove or air conditioner can’t corrupt a child. Adult content can. It doesn’t belong in public schools. 

And the air conditioner thing was reported on today. Coming from the executive branch. Federally. Not a small segment. 

And that’s more attention than our military strength and growth is getting and more than our economy is getting. That’s not rhetoric. It’s the way it is. 

Interested in what your definition of pornography is?  Did you hear about the headmaster of an Arts school in Florida that was fired this week because she introduced Michelangelo's statue of David to  a sixth grade class and 3 parents out of 100 complained?  3% now wield the power.  Nudity isn't porn.

I don't see how AppleTV+ can even compare to Netflix or Disney+.  Netflix is like the Blockbuster of streaming with content from literally everywhere, and Disney has decades of movies from all of their studios.  What does Apple TV+ have?  A handful of movies/shows that it has purchased for tons of money?  Apple would need to partner with major studios to have access to their content to compete with Netflix or Disney.

As it is, Apple like your local theatre.  It has a new movie every now and then, maybe you like it, maybe you don't.  Except you're paying every month whether you like the offering of the month or not.

Justice Thomas should be commended for recognizing the inherent danger of having put so much power in the hands of a few private entities. Back in the day, politicians never imagined that these private corporations, instead of being platforms for public opinion, became publishers, censoring whatever they decide is inappropriate, misinformation, or offensive. It is past time for Congress to either revisit Section 230 or have SCOTUS to do it for them.

Don't newspapers and other media outlets (FOX, Newsmax, CNN, etc.) get to decide what they want to broadcast?  Aren't they then deciding what is inappropriate. what is misinformation or offensive and choose to call it out, or, as some do, portray it as real news?  I think they have MORE power than Twitter and FB.  If I don't like what Fox has to say, I have the freedom to watch a different news.  Anyone can choose to not use FB or Twitter if you don't like their content.

Yet another expensive piece of junk from Tesla, guaranteed to stop working, if you can get it to work at all.

You really have a hard on for Elon don’t you .

I don't own a Tesla car, but our neighbor across the street had 2 (not at the same time) and Tesla repair truck was at their house more frequently than I would expect for a new car.  My Hyundai has been flawless, never to a repair shop in 6 years (knock on wood).

$20 a month for 4K? Yeah F you too, dudes. 

I read their NYT article explaining their rational in dropping “HBO” from the brand name and adding tons of crappy reality TV:

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/11/business/media/max-streaming-warner-hbo.html

…they feel their audience is too limited due to be associated with high-quality programming. Insane. It’s like BMW saying they’d sell more cars if they made cheaper, crummier vehicles and then advertising that they not all about premium vehicles. Well, yeah. But that isn’t why your customers sought you out. That isn’t your brand. 

Pandering to Wall Street customer growth numbers by execs with no vision. I won’t be renewing after my previous annual promo expires. 

Unfortunately, the NYTimes link is behind a paywall.  No free viewing.

How dumb is the Biden us government? They bombed 7 kids getting water and lied to us and said they were ISIS 

and now they want to fix something that doesn’t need fixing and people like Google and Apple who are 10000 times smarter than these idiot politicians?

so are they going to ask Target to stop advertising their stores and have people buy at Walmart?

Clearly, you've not a clue what this is about.
