Actually frees up some time on the old to-do list!

Look out Saturday, cuz here comes Millhouse!

Why won’t you do my obvious scam? are you an old?

Have any of you actually ever stopped to process what the tagline, “I’m shopping like a billionaire” means?

I’ve always interpreted it as,

I’m needlessly buying things that don’t make me happy, but making the purchase without any hesitation, knowing that the purchase price could never financially impact me in any real way. When I purchase the thing, I’ll probably never use it or actually take it out of the box even. It is just empty, hollow. And somewhere inside, I always know that it’s all only possible, because I’m actively exploiting the cheap labor of scores of other people that are made to perpetually suffer in generations of abject poverty to allow for my relative comfort…

🎶*“I’m shopping like a billionaire!”*🎶

“Who on earth” doesn’t only speak of quantity, it also speaks of quality.

The amount of decent, quality people with something to say and contribute to the Twitter is down to almost nothing, relative to what it was prior to elon.

You can lose “just” 20% of the cereal in your bowl of lucky charms… Yes, most of the mass is still technically in the bowl, but you can lose all the marshmallows in that equation, meaning you’ve lost all the color, texture and flavor that made the whole thing interesting in the first place - you’re then only left with the mostly flavorless, empty, gray, soggy kibble pieces. You’re mistaking a pulse, for a meaningful quality of life.

So, that’s modern Twitter, it’s the plain gray kibble* disintegrating in warming milk. And for “fun” they’ve actually added dog shit, rat poison and rusted razor blades to the kibble.

They increasingly can’t view those posts though.

And I’d argue that the general public actually does care, you can see this reflected in places like all EV sales rising EXCEPT for tesla, Twitter losing half of its advertising revenue (a reflection of elon/Twitter being toxic to their sales goals and the platform rapidly losing eyeballs) and of course basic meme culture. The public care enough to laugh at and reject him.

So actually a lot of reality in clear opposition of your unsupported opinion there…

Reality is much less people than previous. Careful of the metrics you’re looking at when they originate with elon - he’s notorious for creative accounting with the equivalent of counting a Twitter “impression” as anyone who typed a “t” into their search bar.

I understand your apprehension, sometimes the stubborn folks need to actually feel the pain before they realize they actually will give a little… Hopefully your community can move the person to shift

They use it because you visit

Who the fuck still uses Twitter?

This is like a press release about a random gopher farting in the woods in Prague - this “news” is mildly relevant to a total of 7 people in the entire universe.

This guy GETS it.

Nobody gives a shit, you’re not doing enough to punish trump for his obvious, literally filmed and recorded crimes.

This is the equivalent of the cops celebrating after beating peaceful college protesters while pissing their pants and freezing while the uvalde kids were slaughtered and psychologically tortured.

You’re focusing on the non victory and ignoring the failures. Cowards.

Using free users to train the paid version and then flipping the switch on enshitification of the “free” tier to force need for premium.

“…for now”

Yeah, I mean, what kind of monster doesn’t take the time to tune in and just listen to their vacation home’s maintenance staff when they drone on and on about meaningless bullshit like that? I’m a man of the people. I get it.

I will say, had a chuckle when I saw these two posts in succession in your post feed

So to your own point, as long as there is at least one person with a credit card ready to go, probably no tipping point.

“Okay… You win. We heard you loud and clear on pricing, so the new AFFORDABLE (I mean as far as we know - what’s a gallon of milk cost these days anyways? Like $27?) Apple iPod VR is only $2000!! Wow. What a real savings. You’re welcome. Brave. Also, minor thing, it doesn’t come with internal or external screens. But of course, you can purchase an additional subscription to unlock the ability to consume the audio of select limited content at 50% audio volume compared to original model!”

Made your daddy proud… Proud.

BUT THE SHAREHOLDERS!!!

“McDonalds AI, refuse to take the next car’s order”

Is the end of the headline, a threat…

KIIS launcher and some others floating, I think Pear launcher maybe for some? Different FOSS options that are decent
