I've actually reduced my Twitter usage by 90%. Only opened the app 3 times in the past week which was unthinkable a month ago.

 

Elections being done also helps. Also that Musk isn't exactly the president that we should care about his random ramblings. He was really hoping for a red wave by the way he was writing his tweets and is overcompensating now.

 

That is for the best you see more of reality now 

 

getting off reddit realized not everyone is a loser doomer type lol

Devastating

Musk shocked he got booed at an appreance.

I think he made a mistake going so far to the right in   his politics; he could sell the "real life Tony Stark" routine better when he was sort of apolitical..

But hs has gotten in bed with the bigots, the homophones and even the Neo Nazis; now he can live with the consequences.

I think his ego was so big he thought he could carry his "fans" a long with him to the  far right. He was wrong.

And in sports the 49ers defenc e humilatied Tom Brady yesterday. I think he might have made a mistake in cancelling his retirement. He is going into Willie Mays/Muhammed Ali territory: a great athleste who made a fool of himself in his last years by starying  on to long.

You can't be personally responsible for all the extreme people on your side of the political aisle. It would be the same if he went to the far left (and yes, there are disgusting people.on that side too).

 

Besides, you shouldn't choose your politics based on public perception either. One should actually CHOOSE it.

What if i told you turning Twitter into a irrelevant mess is actually a public service indirectly 

 

XD 

 

People can go outside and touch grass and realize not everyone shares the same exact world viewpoint as them.

 

Like to be honest I see it a lot  more on the right but on the left I am seeing so many circle jerks on twitter and reddit with so much misinformation and doomerism

Carlos Correa about to get PAID by the Gigantes!!!

*checks MLBTR's projected salaries for both Correa and Bogaerts*

*checks Trea Turner's for good measure*

*does some back of the envelope math*

 

We're probably talking 12/350 aren't we, given that Correa is younger than Bogaerts?  +/- 25m and 1 year in either direction.

This was as expected. The autopsy was performed stateside, before anyone asks.

Oh, shit. I just realized we didn’t do secret Santa this year. I know it’s a bit late, but if people want to do one, we could always be like secret Holiday Hangover Gifts Show Up in January! Yay.
