Ma’am, I hate to break this to you but there is no such thing as long Covid you just are mentally challenged. To answer your question, Yes you are unfit to serve. Furthermore, I question how you do not drown when you drink water

With Iran being well Iran, and the US government being well themselves, take a moment to reflect on when one man in private industry rescued his employees when the US government didn’t act. A story many forgot Ross Perot and the Iran Hostage Crisis https://t.co/kfpTwsBiOy

Some people asked me to share what I just shared in a space about the rate limits. I don't work for Twitter but, I do architect IT cloud solutions as my day job.

It is temporary. Twitter's rate limiting is not what everyone is thinking it is. It is not to punish non-paying users.

"Data scraping" is a big deal. This is where automated systems load the website or app and pull your tweets/data. It's a huge security issue. Automated systems are pulling every tweet/word/user account information to store in an unknown database somewhere else.

This could be state actors like China, the US Government, Australia, or other bad political actors like PAC's that are trying to gain access to everyone's information to analyze and use for nefarious things. Manipulating what is said on the site can be done at scale with data scrapping.

It could also be used to figure out the identity of Anons or to punish people in their country for what they tweet. Looking at you #Australia and #Canada and #UnitedKingdom

The temporary measures of limiting tweets is to protect users just as much as it is to protect the entire Twitter network from going down. They are currently scrambling to get ahead of this and tune their network security to block it from happening again.

It's also important to note that twitter has 500,000+ servers. That's not free. In cloud data centers, the companies that use them have to pay for what is called "ingress and egress" of data going "in and out" of the servers. A data scrapping event that is large enough for them to start limiting means that it was a MASSIVE event that could be considered an attack on the site. It would also put massive load on their servers and cost them so much money it could threaten the site's financial ability to keep running. It could be on purpose to put twitter out of business from cost alone.

Many people are misunderstanding why @elonmusk wants people to pay for twitter or for the twitter API (a programming interface that can pull data for other sites and apps).

The reason he wants people to pay is because if China or porn companies want to create massive bot farms of fake accounts, it is currently free. These bad actors are highly skilled and operate like a business. They have professional staff that continuously change their tactics and Twitter engineers have to fight 24/7 to stay ahead of them. If they have to pay for every account or pay to use the API, it would cost them A LOT of money. This limits the amount of people who could create bots, put automated porn on here, and the hacking/scrapping/DDOS attacks on the site. It protects you.

It also guarantees twitter will continue to exist without bloating it with tons of ads. This is all a part of the plan to create a free-speech place we can enjoy without being controlled by outside actors or advertising companies. I know $8 is a lot to some people but, it is for many reasons. None of the reasons are to hurt or punish people.

@jeremyjojola You mental illness was on public display for everyone to see but thank you amplifying ForestMommy. I’m sure you’re upset that your little echo chamber imploded and you discovered that the world you live in is not filled with everyone sucking down vax propaganda. Seek help Jeremy

[Brad @beachbum_brad]

As an “investigative journalist” you would think you might be able to get the pulse that people despise the government and know the vax was a scam but probably can’t see that with your head shoved so far up your ass. Doxing and locking comments you’re such a little bitch
