Bit the bullet and finally ordered a new apple watch. With the health problems ive had lately being able to track heart rate and o2 will be very useful. Also ordered an at home blood pressure tester. I go back to the doc in 4 weeks and im hoping having some data to present will be useful.
What is this awful shit? Why did this appear when I restarted my pc? How do I make it go away forever? Whose idea was this and why aren't being tried in The Hague?

As someone who doesn't have Twitter, I don't see why Twitter is such a big deal. I know it is, and I know I must be missing something, but I have no clue what that is.

But it seems more than that to some? Like a lot of content creators use it as a way to find new business for example. Like furlion, I don't get why other communication methods don't work, but if you want to make a living in the post-web2.0 world, it seems like you need to have Twitter or Instagram AND Twitch or Discord.

Musk has had to pay tens of millions in fines for harming his own Tesla shareholders with mad tweets. If he successfully acquires Twitter and takes it private, he can theoretically short his company's stock without consequence.

I do not follow this. If Musk posts something on Twitter that violates the law and it affects Tesla's stock price, he's still open to fines and shareholder lawsuits.

Twitter weren't the ones that fined him.

I have no idea what you're suggesting here
As I understand it, taking Twitter off a public exchange takes his Tweets off the SEC's radar. Shareholders would have to fight him directly in court which I imagine would be preferable to Musk.
Twitter is still a public avenue of communication, which is the part the SEC cares about
Is Musk saying shit that affects stock values in a public place broadcast to many people? Then it's relevant to SEC rules. The ownership status of the media he uses to make that speech as a publically traded or privately held entity is not relevant.

You misunderstand it. Whether or not the platform is publically traded has nothing to do with, and I cannot see a reason why it would. What Elon got in trouble for was publicly lying about company finances so hard that it affected investor behavior. Where he did it, and how that place is funded, doesn't matter for shit.

No, that's not the case. It's still a public statement. Just like if he wrote it on Medium, or Mastadon, or where ever else.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

Musk is buying Twitter so he has greater control over his messaging. He doesn't care if something he tweets is illegal, because he can afford ANY fine the government will levy against him. At this point, paying fines is the cost of doing business.
And being fined for tens of millions doesn't mean a fucking thing at all when you're net worth is north of $250,000,000,000. $250,000,000,000 - 99,999,999 = 249,900,000,001.

Someone please set up a service where you can enter someone's phone number and they'll get an anonymous text telling them to stop texting live photos that are just a three-second loop of them trying to take a still photo of their dinner.
So what this stands to do is the same thing that happens when California sets its own EPA standards: vendors choose to comply with California rules instead of the federal bare minimum because it's both easier and is the only way to access the state's very lucrative market. Shame we had to do this rather than the goddamn FCC who STILL HAS NOT CONFIRMED A 5TH DEMOCRATIC MEMBER TO BREAK THE 2-2 STANDOFF IT'S ONLY BEEN ALMOST TWO YEARS BIDEN CAN'T BLAME REPUBLICANS FOR THIS ONE..

Coinbase's stock is doing the worst it has ever done. Down over 30 percent today. Down over 50 percent this past week. Down over 84 percent since its IPO. Revenue is down, users are down, total trading volume is down. It won't stop saying #WAGMI though
I can’t even speak…
Coinbase is the biggest exchange in the U.S. This will have ripple effects around the world. The number of people who will lose everything.
This is what journalists and critics have been worried about.

All day today my idiot crypto-bro acquaintances have been feverishly posting about how this is the best week ever for crypto because a big crash means they can buy way more and get rich when it rebounds.
I mean, I know none of them will ever admit they were wrong because no one gives up the grift, but it sure would be nice to see just once.

The secret to financial success is to buy low and also buy high because you were late and then hold the dip because its going to go high and also hold the peak because if you sell you will lose money when it goes higher

It's a crypto bro saying, like "Diamond Hands" and "To The Moon" and all that dumb shit.
I've literally never seen a crypto bro talk about selling. It's constantly buying. Buying the dips, buying the peaks. I don't know how they get rich, exactly, but it seems like questionable advice.

JK, I know the actual reason they never talk about selling is because they can't have other people getting any ideas about dumping their coin. Gotta keep pumping up that market.

1) you have a fairly high degree of control over what you see
2) you can more or less disable the algorithms entirely with a button right on the main page, something nearly no other site allows you to do
they keep trying really hard to disable both of those features
just trying to do anything they can to remove a linear chronological timeline of the posts you've requested
instead would you like to see this controversial take from some jackass you don't follow or even know about Johnny Depp and Amber Heard
I think you'll engage with it
