  I was interested in it but at the end of the day Dorsey got Twitter into its initially mediocre state, and he’s endorsed RFK Jr. as well as Musk’s purchase of Twitter. So should I really expect it to be any better? I’ll keep an eye on it but my expectations aren’t terribly high.

  This principle exists to shield the people from their government. It is not intended to be (and has never been) a protection for someone’s social status or reputation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will you be willing to pay for using Twitter?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The real question is how much would I accept in payment to use Twitter. It’s probably not a lot, but it surely is not negative.

  I don’t think it’s that simple. Heinous allegations can make that business relationship untenable. YouTube has an image to protect as well as other partnerships to maintain. There are people (not just wealthy executives) whose livelihood relies on those things,.

  If a person’s reputation, fair or not, creates a risk to those things, why should YouTube be forced to assume that risk on their behalf?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨James Gunn Says He’s Not Making a “Young Superman” Movie Despite Ditching Henry Cavill⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought it was okay, which as you said is almost par for the course, but it felt like a generic Marvel movie whereas the first two had some fun heist elements to them. Gave them a unique feel within the MCU that I missed in this one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is America Really That Bad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This would cover things like hunting and/or target practice at a home or private property, so not entirely that weird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  SOCOM IV

  Waited for a long time for that one and unfortunately they couldn’t resist COD-ifying it. It’s a shame because they had some cool things in it, loved the bomb defuser escort game mode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Blue Beetle’ First Reactions Are In: “My Favorite Post-Nolan DC Film”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hopefully word of mouth can drive interest if it really is good, because the marketing for it so far has felt very much like another generic DCU movie and Blue Beetle obviously doesn’t have the name recognition that the other franchises do.
