By the standards of the American people, the candidate should be one of those blow up car dealership streamer guys and a Bluetooth speaker playing audio of hero monologues from 80’s “step dad bait” action movies.

The presidency is not one person, it’s an entire administration and general philosophy. We’re fed a lie that these debates always matter, they matter when candidates are unknown and then have a forum to stand out as leaders and educate voters about a vision for the country. That’s NOT the case here, the candidates are wholly known entities and these fucking debates absolutely do not matter.

The people in this country, in their immediate reaction to this debate, demonstrate that they just fundamentally lack the focus, empathv and frankly basic intelligence to process the substance of this or any debate. On average, we respond solely to voice pitch, tonality, body language and facial expressions, like a still developing toddler… Or a dog.

Except AI doesn’t say “Is this it?”

It says, “This is it.”

Without hesitation and while showing you a picture of a dog labeled cat.

Do you know, has it always been this way, or has the gap gradually widened with the enshitification of medical services to maximize profit?

A bit of a plausible deniability open secret, yes. If I have a restaurant do it behind closed doors, “what I don’t know can’t hurt me” is the approach for most.j9

With no other realized penalty for the individual? Nothing indirect?

“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.

It was actually the steak bagel breakfast sandwich at McDonalds… until that garbage institution actually brought it back defector! It trned out to be a weaker approximatation with different/less seasoning on meat and different sauce, but close enough for nostalgia

I’m glad you linked source. Counter to what I perceive your intentions were, it actually shed light on how dishonest you had been in your representation of that previous comment as a part of the bigger conversation you’d had in that other thread - I’m only left to assume that you had hoped that nobody would read the source conversation in full and would instead see the basic presence of the URL and accept your own POV as fact.

Frankly, I think you should be a bit ashamed that you tried to misrepresent ALL OF THAT INVOLVED CONVERSATION in the other thread with little-no larger context presented. All for an attempt at some minor “win” in this unrelated thread?

To the dishonesty, YOU are actually the one who introduced the original premise of the “middle class being murdered” and in response, this person (in a bit of a passionate response, sure) engaged to reinforce a point they had been otherwise making throughout that fuller conversation - that American “success” in capitalism is zero sum, it always thrives on the backs of a set of conveniently ignored victims (throughout the third world especially). It IS something that we in the US conveniently ignore each and every day in the perceived “success” of capitalism, like averting your eyes and stepping over a houseless person to buy an $8 coffee. On a human level, yes, that is a horrible indefensible choice many of us make consistently to preserve a higher level of personal comfort when we could choose to do otherwise. The quiet guilt that the “wonders” of capitalism rightly have is why reagan had to make that famous speech where he told yuppies something akin to, “You don’t need to feel ashamed for owning your own fancy, personal swimming pool”

I don’t agree with every position of that other poster, but there is definitely nuance here worth discussion every day - especially as the people who probably benefit the most (are a global level) from this broken system.

It is a truly rare thing that you get someone actually educated and involved enough with a counter position to engaged in meaningful debate - for you to then betray that here by trying to reduce that entire interaction to your singular misrepresentation of a flawed point that you originated yourself ONLY makes the reader walk away with a deeper consideration of your opponent’s positions and a dismissal of your own assertions.

Just playing all the hits aren’t you? Just keep on embarrassing yourself, bud. You’re on a roll!

Look at you telling on yourself left and right… Just showing your whole ass.
