A few Nazis and KKK apologists convinced a shit-ton of marketers, influencers, Karens, and other predatory users to leave.

On balance, Nazis and Klukkers didn’t make it any worse than it was.

I agree with everything except the “got even worse” part. It was always a steaming turd.

The reality is that Xitter isn’t actually any shittier than Twitter was. It’s not any better, of course. But it’s certainly not any worse.

If you want something done right, you’ve got to do it yourself.

I need this exact pin. You can save some money and make it without any moving parts.

Yeah, with adequate coordination, the gorillas should prevail in a 1v3. But I think they tend to fight more like individuals than as a pack.

Gorillas don’t have much for protection. The bear has 4" of fat “armor”. The gorillas won’t be able to bite or tear flesh.

My thinking is that if the bear is able to grab one of the gorillas, it will be disabled pretty much instantly. Unless the remaining gorilla(s) can press their momentary advantage while the bear is distracted, it’s just going to rip them apart one by one.

1v4, they might have enough clout to keep the bear immobilized long enough to kill it.

Polar bears are three times the size and weight of a silverback. They could likely prevail in a 1v2 or 1v3. 1v4 would be a fair fight.

the thing that’s different is that social media has demonstrative harm.

Is that actually a difference?

Rock and roll causes harm: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8580930/

TV causes harm: https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/too-much-tv-might-be-bad-for-your-brain

Video games cause harm: https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2000/04/video-games

Pretty much everything kids do that their parents didn’t has been “proven” to cause harm. Radio, cinema, comic books, even newspapers were “proven” to harm young people.

Authoritarianism is a far bigger threat than any of these.

I didn’t see mayonnaise on either list?

Hybrid hard drive. Basically, a hard drive with a large solid state cache.

Actual shipping would vary depending on location, but sellers are padding the shipping charge so they can display a lower unit price.

Shooters keep shooting for as long as they want unless they are forcibly stopped. Number of deaths are directly correlated with the duration of their attack. The sooner the attack is stopped, the fewer total deaths and injuries.

“Run, Hide, Fight” increases any individual’s own survival rate, but paradoxically, “Fight, Hide, Run” increases the survival rate of the entire group, even though it greatly increases risks to the “fighters”.

Try it with a paintball, airsoft, or squirt-gun wielding attacker and unarmed defenders. Tell the group that as soon as they know where the attacker is, charge him. If you don’t know where he is, hide until you figure it out. If there is no place to hide, run away. Count up the “dead”, and it will almost always be substantially lower when the group blitzes the attacker vs. when they try to avoid being killed by the attacker.

Need to add shipping charges to the price…

Ah. Thanks for clarifying.

I must confess, I see no noteworthy comparison. I question their commitment and resolve.

What part of that is remotely comparable to the car dealership and gas station in Kenosha?

Their actions are effective at getting legislative action against protests and impeding travel. Their effects on stopping oil, however, have been somewhere between “completely ineffective” and “counterproductive”.

The reason people have a hard time believing their actions are effective is because their actions are not at all effective.

Their actions are damaging the cause. They are making it harder for environmental activism to be taken seriously. Now, actual activism has to fight not just the oil industry, but also everyone that JSO has pissed off.
