OT: Twitter/X

Somebody wants your money.

Facebook and Twitter are right-wing dive bars full of lonely older men, they know their audience, bro.

My personal responsibility-oriented suggestion is if you don't like what the sewer pipe feeds you then stop drinking from it..

His name is Elon Musk..

John got there before me but could it be that they are trying to get you to buy whatever goods they are advertising?

I've never used Twitter/X

Perhaps you are one of the few people who aren't?

It's the bottom line that matters.

I will be generous and assume that is not a double entendre.

There are about equal numbers of left-wing lonely older men.

I'm not! I like skinny women with good incomes.

That's strange. I like women who are in good shape - which is to say not overweight, but with enough muscular development not to look skinny.

Skinny implies scrawny and under-fed. That's not sexy.

Having a good income suggests that you fit into your social environment, but it can also just represent a fortunate occurrence of ancestors, and both Elon Musk and Donald Trump have that.

The historic preference for well-rounded women reflects an environment where most people were under-fed, and skinny women probably weren't ovulating and weren't fertile.

It was - so you needn't.

With or without large outgoings?

And this would be in your view a "sewer pipe" because..... Musk when he took it over removed all the censorship?

It was a sewer pipe even before Musk bought it and removed any vestige of content monitoring.

Social media does serve as an area where the most hare-brained half-wit can parade his nonsensical delusions, as you demonstrate here with unfortunate persistence.

Free speech - in the sense that vested interests can't block out inconvenient opinions - may be a good thing, but we do need mechanisms that discourage the lunatic fringe from exploiting it to peddle fatuous nonsense.

Are you claiming that they aren't as interested in Twitter/X as their right-wing counterparts?

I'm certainly not, and I rate as left-wing by your right-wing standards, but since we both waste our time on sci.electronics.design rather than on Twitter/X, neither of us is relevant to the discussion (such as it is).

Do you refer to anatomy or finance?

Small in both cases.

The whole Instagram/Twitter/X/TikTok format was never really designed for any kind of complex discussion or long-form text posts the way a message board, Slashdot, Reddit, or even Usenet was.

Originally as I recall it was text and image only with a 280 character length the thought process being it would be good for organizations sending brief status updates to the pretty primitive cell phones most people were still rockin' circa 2008, I can't remember what I was using then, my girlfriend was in grad school (didn't know her at the time) she had this thing by LG called a "Rumor Touch" it likely seemed like Star Trek back then with a flip-out keyboard:

Now sadly just e-waste as 3G CDMA has been sunsetted everywhere in the US AFAIK, but I digress.

Anyway then at some point they added video, so the whole format is much better suited to women shaking their asses and outrage/troll posts than any kind of nuanced discussion of anything, that's also what I mean by "sewer pipe" like at this point those apps are very much just like TV with extra steps. Might as well just watch TV and shout into the void about what you see there.

They might not be actual humans, and if they are those might not be their actual images. Don't click adverts unless you want to see more of the same.
