How do you determine who among independent media are fair?

Name one amazing thing on X.

[coolThingsFirst → differentView]

Many many reasons. There are incredibly smart people on X who are writing and sharing their thoughts on things. There's nothing comparable to that on the internet.

It may be ok for you if you live in an area with highly concentrated talent but for me I'm pretty isolated so it makes a tremendous difference.

No there are not. There are a bunch of moronic VCs saying incredibly stupid things and paying for blue checkmarks.

[coolThingsFirst → bbqfog]

Literally all the Deep learning and systems whizs are on X.

The fact that the old system would ban people for completely absurd reasons (including covid "misinformation" that all turned out to be true, but not exclusively that) and one thing Musk did do is put a stop to some of that

I'm fully willing to listen to all the arguments that he's actually a horrible person but I don't see how people feel that part of it wasn't necessary to fix

[bbqfog → alex1138]

Musk bans people all the time. Remember the jet tracker?

Virtue signaling political incorrectness is the only reason I can imagine people promoting Twitter right now.

Do you think it works? You can be honest here.

Both most people favor one side of their body, so the wear and tear would already be uneven.

Sprain both knees and ankles and red light treat opposite ones (ie randomly select right ankle + left knee or the opposite pair).

You may also have trouble applying the Aspirin to only one location.

Companies don't make decisions, people do. He was the top decision maker at his company.

That's just the push I needed to challenge Mike Tyson to a fight.

On: Why scalpers can get tickets

[differentView]

But not in the scenario described, where the artists get no additional money from resales.

[lolinder → differentView]

Not directly, because that would look bad and would miss the point.

The thing is, they don't need to get additional money from the resale directly. If resale makes their events more profitable, their contracts with the venues and Ticketmaster will be more favorable.

On: Credit card debt collection

What bank was it? Have you tried getting a credit card with them since? If so, were you successful?

MBNA Canada. And no.
