screaming babies make everything seem worse than it actually is

no different than 2016 or COVID

JFC

I'm going to start a social platform called "Argue!"

A new topic will start every day, but previous topics will have a life of two weeks. State your case and move on.

The argument points will start out easy and then progress.

For example:

Day 1: 1+1 = 2
Day 2: The sky is blue
.
.
.
To more sophisticated issues
.
.
Day 2+n: The series 1+2+3+4+5+... = -1/12

Might be a money maker.

Elon is going to make Twitter ****ing huge. You just have to watch his videos/interviews on it. He wants to turn it into WeChat. If hes able to pull it off he can also steal shit from TikTok with Vine Remake. Then add in a digital wallet.

Pfft

To understand watch his videos. Hes a big believer in MicroTransactions his model could very well save News Media companies.

I believe it.

He's gotta survive the MSM bullying tactics though.

This thread is hilarious

Go on.....

you looking forward to dancing on twitter's grave on facebook and reddit bro?

YOU GOT SOME FIRE ELON SUCKS MEMES?

YOU GONNA FIGHT THE MAN, BRO?

not worth it

I guess I miss the point of this humdinger of a lambasting. :hmmm:

bought twitter at 35$ a share

sold at 54$


thanks Elon!

I use to work late nights, weekends etc to get the job done. Now, maybe twice a year. If they did want me working 60 hours a week regularly, I’d go find another job.

On the subject of thread hijack (we were talking about thread hijack, weren't we?).

I've never understand why Google didn't push this.

They have everything that is needed to make it a succes.

They could have added micro payments as an option to YouTube videos.

If you make a high quality 15 minute or one hour video say, you could offer it to viewers for say $0.25 instead of the very tiny amount that the advertiser supported model does.

Google has the browser they could have added micropayments to. They even have the google wallet, although they would of course wanted to do some sort of open/public patent so that the PayPal's of the world would also be on board as another means of payment.

Google has also been somewhat rightly accused of driving primary news sources under with their search engine. But they could have a model where the search engine showed a synopsis, but you would have to make a micropayment to see the full article.

I mean, if I search on something, I'm not going to sign up for a monthly recurring fee on my credit card to read one story, but if I could click on a link and pay $0.10 to read something, sure...

So there would be usual the concerns with security and whatnot. So the browser could be set up so that links that cost money were a different color. If the link was above a certain amount (say $0.50), there would be a pop up requiring you to click okay, above a bigger amount you have to type in a password, after spending too much in 24 hours you have to type in a password to keep spending etc.

Never understand why this isn't a thing.
