Can you recommend any good resources in getting started with those alternatives? I haven't raised the Jolly Roger since 2002.

As much as I'd love to see trump in an orange jumpsuit, I don't foresee any outcome where he actually serves prison time.

Hey fuck you and your stupid opinion! I'm smarter and technically correct on this one obscure point that you weren't making! And it's spelled "for all intents and purposes," dipshit!

Crap, sorry. Those Reddit habits die hard.

I think the difference is that the Threads user count keeps getting thrown around as an indicator of its success and viability, but it's not a great KPI.

I do think people are using this "realization" of accounts being automatically created as a conspiratorial gotcha, but it's still important to remind people of this scenario as they evaluate their prospects.

Pun threads. They're not clever. They're the same, old, recycled jokes, and they just get progressively worse with every reply.

Fucking magnets, how do they work?

Sounds like you've bought into the "both sides" bullshit. One side is clearly, factually worse than the other by leaps and bounds, but that "both sides" bullshit has been depressingly successful at convincing large swaths of people that the other side is just as bad despite all the clear, factual evidence to the contrary.

I agree with almost everything you've said, but how do you consider Apple a monopoly?
