I always thought this metaverse crap was just an obvious money-making scheme that preyed on isolated people during COVID-19. They only started developing their metaverse platforms during the pandemic. Of course they all failed to capitalize because the world largely returned to normal while they were still flaunting NFTs and unfinished metaverse platforms that still can't do better than a private Minecraft SMP with your friends.

That's pretty interesting. This could be the basis of a new weight-loss drug that works by limiting calorie absorption rather than regulating hunger cues.

I'm going to be mildly annoyed if the fat acceptance latches on to this as yet another study validating their belief that they can't lose weight.

"Puerto Rico October surprise" is a creative way to say "backlash from racist statements by Trump and select speakers." It makes it sound like they just did a little oopsie whoospie fucky wucky.

In 2020 some ballot counters barricaded themselves inside, under siege. What are the fascists going to try on the big day this time now that they're had 4 years to organise? I think this situation is unprecedented in the United States. This needs to be taken seriously.

Is it really worth making this kind of statement regarding the DEI thing? The self-proclaimed "anti-woke" crowd wants you to give their bigotry fuel by playing defense. Then they're going to get on YouTube and upload another shitty rant with a soyface thumbnail and a 3-word headline.

If you can ban them in your spaces then do so by all means. Do not enter their space if you are an honest person. This is a battle won by persuasive rhetoric, not facts and logic.

We were going to keep calling it Twitter no matter what, but it feels even better knowing how much he loves deadnaming.

I'm curious as to what this anon thinks sounds like normie stuff. Probably some awkward comment about respecting all genders.

I don't understand why it's so mainstream to equate Palestine with Hamas. It's as if there is an actual conspiracy going on to to support this genocide. Is it because it's so easy to say you're antiemetic if you oppose "the Jews"?

The fact that Bluesky has some form of content moderation and has occasionally banned users for things like using racial slurs in their usernames.

Actually, Jack Dorsey may be the problem. Good to see him shift focus to that "free speech", pro-cryptocurrency platform Nostr. I see it like a containment zone for the worst people.

Stop plugging LLMs into everything! They are designed to make up plausible sounding nonsense.

The instigators responsible will keep getting away with it. They're very careful to use the right dog whistles and key words to avoid getting deplatformed and they still cause their followers to act like this.

I'm sure they would also happily attempt elimination of neurodivergent people.
