Why is there a plant coming out of my head?

Hey @grok, why is my “following” tab all menswear and basketball but my “for you” tab is nothing but hateful right-wing propaganda?

@dieworkwear This longevity also means you can buy them second hand. I have several high-end shoes and I didn’t buy any of them new.

@nero_fabric Around 6000BC, herders began selectively breeding sheep that possessed denser, softer undercoats and suppressing the outer hair in order to make wool. By 4000BC, sheep completely lost their ability to naturally shed their coats seasonally, now dependent on human shearing. No God.

@Tsar_Martyr It would require (a) a definition of what god is and (b) what god does.

Since there are as many versions of god as there are believers, it is difficult to create falsification — especially the Christian god because of Matthew 4:7 and Luke 4:12. It gives a cop-out.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship yesterday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas during the 1960s.

Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes before purchasing without adhering to certain conditions. For instance, they had to try on clothes over their clothes, put on protective covers when trying on hats, or weren't allowed to make returns once they purchased clothes and brought them home. These policies stemmed from the racist fear that white customers would refuse merchandise previously worn by Black shoppers.

The downtown Neiman Marcus flagship was one of the first major Dallas businesses that broke with these practices. In 1961, the company desegregated its Zodiac Room, a swanky restaurant frequented by Dallas elites. Neiman Marcus later welcomed Black shoppers without restrictions. These victories were achieved through the efforts of Civil Rights activists, along with support from Neiman Marcus president Stanley Marcus, who was an early advocate for desegregation in Dallas. The Neiman Marcus store manager purportedly warned Marcus that he would ruin his business — and indeed, some shoppers closed their accounts — but he stuck with his decision.

At the time of the flagship's closure, the Main Street store had been open for 112 years.

@trailblazers Does he still stand by these comments? If yes, you made a good decision.

Does he now realize as an adult how stupid his comments were and he wants to make amends? If so, bad decision.

@BannedV1doz They had a license plate. Pick him up later and don’t endanger everyone’s life.

@Sahernx7 The kid wearing the Apple Watch: the particular gears on the bicycle he’s riding are made from an alloy that didn’t exist until 1956.

@thousand_tim @dieworkwear I was recently let out of prison for saying Merry Christmas during the Biden administration.

@Yakovolf Imagine all the buildings in your community that could be a concert venue have been destroyed.

@glennbeck Hey Glen, you should also shut up and just strum a guitar.

@HazelLiaqa4848 Can I watch him go through basic training? I like comedy.

@dieworkwear Is the dress shoe in the room with us?

@elonmusk My “following” tab is Thunder basketball, rollerskating, watches/horology, and cute animals.

My “for you” tab is basically just hate speech.

It’s sort of upsetting.

@tessa_wwy6 @grok Africa is 54 countries, 20% of earth’s landmass, 16% of earth’s population, and several thousand ethnic groups.

@TheHistoryGuy07 @unapuckagetic I’ve read what Heaven would be like. Annihilatationism sounds much better.

[Chip Driver @DriverChip]

@TheHistoryGuy07 There has actually been research on this. There is truth to atheists having higher tendencies of depression. However, it can be eliminated through ritual/community. It turns out church is actually good for you because we are a social species.

@realichigo We know very well what happened 2,000 years ago if it is backed up with contemporary historians and evidence.

[Chip Driver @DriverChip]

@TrevorSheatz Nobody went to heaven before 1517?

@David_Kicinski This is an interesting reply. It inspired me to google “religious breakdown of abortion patients.”
