Yeah, I created an account when it was first announced.

What? It’s just a clone of X that is anti-X. It’s not decentralized at all, it’s Twitter for the original blue check people only, and they’re already eating each other alive in there.

People going over don’t care who owns it, they just want to use a platform that regularly censors thoughts they disagree with. That’s it.

Yeah, this meme is fine, but it also goes the other way. Media runs off negative news and fear, and what the rest of the world is seeing is our media.

Bad battery? That’s a

It’s an issue of what a private board can cover and enforce their rules over and what they can’t. Anything they can’t is government.

It’s a bit of a gray area. The issue, as far as I can tell, is whether or not he’s speaking in a professional manor on his social media, as he would be expected to with any patient he sees.

He was a university professor in Canada. He stepped into the media light after Canada was set to pass a law criminalizing dead naming someone. Peterson became very outspoken against this law because it wasn’t a law banning speech, it was a law enforcing you to use specific speech.

A video of some trans students confronting him went viral, which thrust him into popularity. It’s an interesting video, I suggest everyone watch it. After that, the law was put in place, and Peterson got in trouble with the university, and (quit? Was fired? I forget which).

There are two notable events after the first that everyone here is talking about. Due to the media attention, Peterson sought out therapy and was prescribed benzos, which he quickly became addicted to. He kinda fell out of the media light for a bit, and it turns out he was not going through withdrawal very well, so he and his family flew to Russia, where they induced a coma and he was able to come off of the benzos. I know that he did a podcast with his daughter where they go through exactly what happened, if you’re curious as yo his experience (though I’m sure there’s a summary on wiki or something)

The second event is that (one of?) his licenses was pulled by a college board of some sort after he criticized Trudeau on twitter over something, and he was ordered to go to “social media reeducation” training. He took them to court over it and the judge ruled that yes, the board’s ruling was an infringement on his free speech, but since they’re a private board they can withhold his license until they see fit.

And that sums up everything as neutrally as I can get.

No, certain corporate landlords, like Blackrock, is even. Most small-scale landlords are not inherently evil because they rent out their properties. Having a few is not “hoarding.”

Yeah, dozens of us remain! Dozens!!

Small-scale landlords also usually have full time jobs and use rent to supplement their income. Not every landlord is just rolling in cash.

Lol, you jump straight up to haroin? Just because you and your wife have a healthy relationship with porn doesn’t mean it can’t be addictive to other people. If someone has physical withdrawal symptoms from not consuming the thing, it’s an addiction.

Like, caffeine is highly addictive, but you wouldn’t compare that with haroin.

Something, something, communism…

Uhhh, porn is definitely addictive… not against banning or removing it, but…

It’s not easy being the only man in the world fighting for right-to-repair laws. Every company he exposes, more life is drained from behind his eyes.

I don’t agree with the size of the wealth gap between owner and regular employee, but I don’t understand why people think the heads of these companies - and I’m talking the ones that started them from nothing - did no work or continue to do no work. It’s pretty ludicrous to think that the low level employees at Amazon are doing “all the work.” Are they doing all the grunt work? Yes. Is their job the most physically demanding? Yes. Are they underpaid? Yes. But to pretend like the owner does nothing is just so idiotic and shows a lack of understanding of what goes into running a massive organization like amazon.

There definitely needs to be reform. I don’t even think taxation is the way to go, I think putting laws in place for higher wages is key.

The issue is you made a very extreme statement “We need to stop all plastic production” without actually knowing or understanding A) what plastics make up of the items we use in ALL sectors of our daily lives and B) how catastrophic it would be to stop all plastic production. Just like the knee-jerk reaction that caused plastic straws to be banned and replaced by paper straws in certain areas, and then we find out paper straws actually harm the environment more.

Like, your hot take sounds all good and noble like most virtue signaling statements do, but they also all don’t consider any of the realities or ramifications, just like yours.

Also, your fixable solution isn’t a solution at all. There’s many life-saving plastics that cant be made from reusable or compositabke plastics.

My Honda check engine light came on and… it was a faulty check engine light bulb, got it replaced, no more check engine light

That’s awesome. :)
