The only problem is that you don't socialize enough with women. That's all!

You can plug any version but you cannot vape salt.

It can be any of those colors, or white. But so can DMT.

My biggest problem at the moment is that I have not been able to find any camera that can record my face transform into a colorful Alien God. When I do, I will post it, and zero words will be necessary. Until then you will not understand.

He's more of a jackass. I don't respect him because he's a self-admitted scammer. Jordan Peterson has integrity, as bad as some of his takes are.

The difference is, I don't allow hate speech here. Just like any other decently moderated and responsible social media platform. You cannot go on YT and start calling people N*ggers. This is not free speech or "left-wing". This is basic human decency. I am happy to allow right-wing opinions here, as long as they are well argued. Unfortunately most of right-wing ideology is just dogma. But someone like Jordan Peterson is a good example of the kind of right-winger I can respect and allow.

Mostly I see free speech warriors, libertarians, and right-wingers cheering him on because they believe he's gonna "own the libs" on their behalf. Right-wingers are pretty simple-minded people. Just manipulate them under the guise of "own the libs", and you can get away with some really stupid and wrong things. Trump has mastered this tactic and Musk seems to be catching on to it too. Right-wingers honesty believe that Tech companies are biased against them, when really Tech companies are just biased towards human decency and factuality. But right-wingers perceive this is as some kind of globalist agenda to silence them. Because when you're a bigot, being silenced feels like reverse-bigotry. That's how the mind works. It's not enough for the mind to be ignorant, it has to be aggressively ignorant in order too fool itself. Our culture has an extremely poor understanding of what freedom is. As I have explained in my videos about libertarianism. And I believe Musk suffers from this libertarian mind-herpes, which many rich people suffer from, because when you're rich liberterianism is the perfect philosophy. It's perfectly self-serving to those in power. Musk did not free Twitter. Musk locked Twitter in his own private cage.

There is absolutely no way to map my latest awakenings and levels of consciousness. How do you know it's true if you haven't done serious research into it?

Value for men and women is different. But both screen their mates unconsciously for value. This is as true for men and women as it is for birds and lizards. No bird sleeps with a random bird.

No. He doesn't care about racism. He doesn't care about sexual assault. He doesn't care about conspiracy theories that serve him. He doesn't understand the fundamentals of what freedom is. He doesn't understand unions. And he is very immature for a 50 year old. He is extremely biased. More biased than anyone who ran Twitter before. He would work to get Trump reelected. And if he lived in Nazi Germany he would endorde Hitler because it would be great for his businesses. The problem isn't that he is right-wing, the problem is that he is a techno-capitalist narcicist who's in way over his head on social issues. The best thing that hopefully comes of this disaster is that left and right both realize that a billionaire's ownership over a mass media platform should simply be made illegal. It is like allowing a "benevolent" monarch to rule at his whim. You think it's good for your side, until you realize this manchild doesn't give a fuck about you or your agenda, left or right. He cares about himself.

@Jannes It's impossible to explain to you here.

This is absurd. It hasn't hit any kind of bottom. Musk is already whining that advertisers are starting to leave and he has yet to make any big changes. Changing a media platform is very dangerous. He could lose half his investment in a month.

Because he hates unions and taxes. It's not rocket science. Musk cannot be trusted to be an impartial arbiter here. At best his opinions may align with yours. But as soon as it suits him, he will burn you.

1) Paypal was a fine idea from the start and it was rapidly successful. 2) There were many factors to Paypal's success beyond Musk. 3) Twitter is not some new start-up. It's a fully established and mature service. You can't just expect to change its core and keep everyone around. You could easily lose 50% of your community.

That's a reasonable strategy. No amount of meditation will get you to the highest psychedelic states. That's just the reality of the situation. Make of it what you will.

Yeah, advertisers don't like it when people are calling each other Jews and N*ggers. Go cry me a river. You dismissively call it "Karens" when in practice some very sick bullying happens every day on Twitter. You just don't see it.

In those cases you're talking about authoritarian countries which don't have free speech. Yeah, of course, Russia, India, China, etc will crack down on free speech. But in the US and Western Europe no one cares what you say as long as you're not bullying others. Bullying others is not a freedom you should expect to have. Because no one wants to be part of such a community except for Nazis.

Ultimately it's defined by common decency and whatever advertisers are willing to tolerate. You can't dictate such things from one man. If it works that way what you'll see is less free speech than before Musk took over. All the right-wing platforms have worse free speech standards than all the mainstream "liberal" platforms. Because right-wingers never cared about free speech, they only care about it for themselves. Whereas mainstream platforms actually enforce policy fairly evenly across the board. It's just that more right-wingers violate it because most of the racists, homophobes, sexists, transphobes, etc are right-wing.

I don't see any amount of money making Twitter profitable given how much money Musk paid for it. You can't squeeze $44 billion out of Twitter. But in the act of trying to do so, you may likely kill it. The whole point of buying Twitter was that it was not supposed to be about the money. Now it's a mad scramble just to break even.

Brazil has performed terribly the last few times. I have given up hope. Their defense is really bad against strong European teams.

Best not to taint a scientific model with idle speculation, otherwise people will reject it.

It's a game designed to hide the vacuousness and lack of originality of their ideas. Academia is a very serious circle jerk.

Nobody was silencing you on Twitter unless you were being an asshole. Bigwigs don't care about what you say on Twitter. But don't expect them to spend billions of dollars buying ads from you if you refuse to police hate speech. Everyone told Musk before he bought Twitter that not having moderation would not work. Now he's learning that the hard way. If moderation wasn't necessary then I wouldn't be on this forum every day policing people. As if I don't have better things to do with my time. And we don't even have advertisers here, I just do it to have a healthy forum. And our Mods too. Musk's idea of free speech is so childish it wouldn't even work in kindergarten. Pulling ads IS free speech. If Musk wants to play hardball, welcome to war. But then don't cry when people take their ball and go home. No serious person wants to be at war over Twitter. They'll just leave.

The corporate goons who stage it

Of course
