Those graphs should be cumulative. It's like 50% of experts who think that we will have >10% unemployment until Q2 2021 which is insane.

The free market is solving this by making ground beef $10/lb. It isn't that there aren't any burgers, it's your fault for being a poor piece of poo poo.

restaurants opened last thursday. i drove around downtown and lakewood. no one was wearing a mask

they had to close the loving parks yesterday at 2pm because it was a total clusterfuck

the weird thing was the gas station had a better mask rate than people passing on a busy sidewalk -_-. i didnt even bother checking downtown because the short north failed the distance check the first loving day of patio seating, so i can only guess its dumber now

at least the few places we like to get food from are still takeout only and thats because they dont want the risk of trying dine in seating and instead are using the time to redo interiors slowly and keep employees doing curbside only to reduce risk to them

idk whenever I've read interviews I tend to like his thoughts generally. compared to say zuckerberg, he appears to have views on the direction of twitter that are orders of magnitude healthier than that of facebook. I can't remember anything specific, just that feeling after interview.

no matter how you run a social media you'll have haters. I think the general "mission statement" of twitter is far better than almost any other one


what are these acts of direct support of nazis on twitter? the closest I know of it is a sub par effort to cull facist posts

I read all day long on here that people hate jack (but still use twitter lol). trying not to be too much of a sheep, the opinion I've formed of him from what I've read isn't consistent with what others say of him. i might simply not know enough and be completely wrong, but it's just what I've formed from what I've read, and I'll be hoenst I haven't delved deep into it to find problems or good things either. welp

they dont ban nazis for inciting violence and hatred but will often ban the people responding to them saying "lol ur dumb I hope you get strapped to a missile and rocketed to the moon" as if its a credible threat. you can argue thats a moderation problem and not directly his issue, but...

you can see from their API they flag nazi accounts and tweets cause its illegal in German law to support the nazis, but don't enforce that in the US or anywhere else.

you can report people actually flagged as nazis in their platform for inciting violence and hatred and they will be like oops sorry we didnt find anything that violated the rules.
