I have already seen two “see Bama can’t beat us if they don’t injure our QB” posts, and also two national championship predictions.

You’ll note that I said the thing being eroded was corporate attitudes toward privacy. I know it’s in fashion to pretend like that’s never existed, but it has and that’s evidenced by the fact that an opt-out was even provided as an option.

I suspect that company would strenuously object to your characterization of their proprietary database as “semi-public”.
But no, this isn’t surprising to anyone paying attention to the eroding attention to privacy in corporations, but they did explicitly offer the ability to opt-out of this.

This article is not about search warrants. A court is very unlikely to issue a warrant that allow a cop to search hundreds of thousands of private DNA profiles on the off chance that one of them is a match.

A government defending a one of its buildings and its election process from a coup attempt is not “acting outside its bounds.”

A single example of the state acting outside of its bounds to stop an internal fascist would be welcome support for your fairytale suggestion.

Using nonsensical definitions to render a sentence “correct” but unintelligible to everyone else is certainly a choice.
But you’re still wrong: Threads would have been hyped in 2021, 2019, and even farther back. It provides more than just a way to escape Musk.

Sorry, I figured you could put 2+2 together, let me help:
Trust of ownership is largely irrelevant to social media success, therefore your second sentence is pointless. That means your final sentence is wrong.
Excitement for Threads would have existed with or without Musk.

Using that particular example, knowing it’s not representative of anyone or anything is pretty virtue signally.
Your view of the “norm” on that side doesn’t match with mine (nor does it match with what the majority of conservatives do on social media).

Thee things: first, this distinction “to troll liberals” is begging the question.
Second, the bsky community has been shamelessly (and correctly) bullying all public right-wingers regardless of how much they troll.
Finally, the conservatives I’m describing are 100% on social media.

And just to be clear: this is not a defense of them. Fuck them all sideways, but people who most clearly understand their enemies will be most effective at fighting them.

I get that it’s easier to pretend like they’re one-dimensional. It’s not reality, though.

That’s an extremely narrow definition of art. Not all art is in stuffy galleries. Cartoons are art, music is art, video games are art, etc.
Most conservatives are not mean-spirited gremlins. That’s why they get so bent out of shape when friendships end over “politics”.

It’s easy to make them single-dimensional like that, but right-wingers enjoy comedy, art, etc, too. Most of them do not spend 100% of their time trying to figure out how to own the libs.

That’s part of it for sure, but I think that, deep down, right-wingers also find other right-wingers to be a bore.
