We can't understand the present if we don't understand the past.

@marghie @ryanobrien @clareblackwood I have to give it to you, you are a stubborn bunch. Sure, though, continue wearing your masks. Silver lining, it makes it easy to identify people I likely wouldn't get along with. Just don't then go and demand governments mandate them. Can we agree to that much?

[VoidSurf @VoidSurf1]

@marghie @ryanobrien @clareblackwood They haven't made a dent either. You're trying to plug a hole in the Titanic with a grain of rice. Covid is literally everywhere despite it all. Unless you live like a hermit, you're going to get infected. Just accept it and live your life.

3 years of this already, jeez.

@DragoonScene @ianmSC 800 million. Not thousand. That would be over half the country.

@RBReich Hahahahaha but it is freedom of speech! Nobody said it would be all sunshine and rainbows. It's just better than a small group of elites deciding what is and isn't acceptable for the masses to discuss.

[VoidSurf @VoidSurf1]

@SIfill_ @jack Hahahahaha. "It's a private business", why are you complaining?

[VoidSurf @VoidSurf1]

@elonmusk Well, that's a deal breaker for me. The algos you use to determine this are extremely unreliable. I stopped using Twitter because all my replies were getting deboosted even though I'm rarely rude or curse.

Also, reducing reach is censorship - the effect is the same.

[VoidSurf @VoidSurf1]

@marshalederman Marsha, I don't want to mask forever. Advocating for mandates is extremely disrespectful. Please stop. If you wish to wear a mask, there is currently nothing preventing you from doing so. Masking goes against my personality and moral compass. Please respect my choice.

@tonio020 I've gotten 30 follows from such accounts in the past few days. I blocked them all, but it only seems to intensity.

[VoidSurf @VoidSurf1]

Anyone else getting bombarded with follows from obviously fake accounts of attractive women? It's getting out of hand.

[VoidSurf @VoidSurf1]

@ianmSC This has really opened my eyes. You can't give an inch or they will be emboldened to continue escalating.

[VoidSurf @VoidSurf1]

@AlexBerenson Also, isn't Morgan Stanley financing this for him? He got major institutions on board, and they generally want assurances that they're not throwing their money into a fire pit. He might have obligations towards them based on Twitter performance metrics.

[VoidSurf @VoidSurf1]

@AlexBerenson Well, it's not the only reason, but it does have something to do with it. Losing $1.5 billion a year isn't sustainable for a company. If you pay money for it, presumably you expect it will deliver some benefit and not just endlessly burn through more of your cash.

[VoidSurf @VoidSurf1]

@MrAndyNgo Well, that escalated quickly.

[VoidSurf @VoidSurf1]

@ianmSC It's the 3% who aren't masking, obviously.

[VoidSurf @VoidSurf1]

@ianmSC Being behind Canada and New Zealand on anything related to covid is pretty disastrous.

[VoidSurf @VoidSurf1]

@ClaytonBurnsPhD @nilikm @TorontoStar That's not a small claim.

@Justyourav_2000 @thepoortaxpayer @JustinTrudeau Essentially, they are people who support a cause when it costs nothing and benefits them in social capital. Or they think their activism compensates for their own character flaws. They don't actually care.

[VoidSurf @VoidSurf1]

@Justyourav_2000 @thepoortaxpayer @JustinTrudeau No, it's a term used for people who go to climate rallies in their SUVs. Who lecture others about staying home when they have 100k+ salaries, work from home and never missed a paycheck. Who lecture others about women's rights and turn out to be abusive to their wives.

[VoidSurf @VoidSurf1]

@MillieMaeSays Same here, I don't understand what they are grieving.

[VoidSurf @VoidSurf1]

@CarloDallapicc1 @ianmSC How is it a win to slightly postpone the inevitable? Is there any proof of your theory? They're also doing fine post-infection. Even assuming that this postponed their infection by a few months, I don't see how restricting your airways forever is a reasonable response.
