  1. Yup, for better or for worse, EVERYTHING big corporations do is about increasing profit. If a company whether it be a media company or Nike or whatever, bans something it is not being done to make a social or political statement. It is being done to make money.
  2. I didn't see a big problem with Twitter pre Musk and I don't see one now. Twitter has never come close to the problem that Fox News and many news sites are. It only became a problem because they banned king Donald and now it must be destroyed.
  3. I think most large corporations are dishonest and corrupt. That's how they get to be big corporations! I am questioning why you are singling out Twitter. Much like the Trump/Pelosi/Greene discussion, why is Twitter being held to a higher standard than Fox News?
  4. I agree with this point. I am glad that most of us here refuse to be gaslighted and continue to not to give Trump a pass.
  5. Is there a media site (social media or otherwise) which doesn't ban stuff or ignore stuff or try to please politicians? I don't get the outrage. Even now that Twitter is more right biased I don't think it's a big deal.
  6. LOL, I don't give Trump a pass for his behavior. He is a huge disgrace in every way. If he was not born into wealth, he would have spent his life going in and out of prison and/or mental health treatment. Pelosi knows better and should not have dragged herself down to his level.
  7. Sure, they banned stuff. The most visable banning was Trump and that was the right move because he is a very influential person who was inspiring violence. My point is that there are plenty of opportunities for people to express far right and far left ideas on Twitter. There are a lot worse media sites (social media and otherwise) that are way more biased. I don't see what the big deal is. Even now that it's more right wing biased, it's not a big deal since I can still control my user experience pretty well.
  8. Trump is childish and an embarrassment by default. Responding to his game in kind is always a bad idea.
  9. I don't know how much you use twitter, but I have been on twitter a long time and it has ALWAYS been possible to post the most vile right wing BS imaginable and it has never been deleted. It has always been easy to find too. I have seen it without looking for it. I have been able to filter most of it out so I can just follow baseball, although it's getting harder to do now with the extreme right wing site owner. If they would give us the option of blocking the asinine trending topics, it would be a lot better.
  10. I want eight-team divisions. Make the division titles mean something. There are going to be a million wildcards anyway, so they don't have to pretend small divisions make it more competitive.
  11. He could be the new Champ Summers.
  12. That's just another way of saying regression to the mean.
  13. Greene is an embarrassment to America, but it's fair to point out that Pelosi ripping up the speech was pretty childish too.
  14. I think it depends on which Candelario you are replacing: The 2022 version? The 2020-2021 version? The 2020-2022 version? The career version? The 2022 Candelario should be fairly easy to replace, but some of the other Candelarios more difficult.
  15. They got players that can maybe do more than he did in 2022, but not more than he did in 2020-2021.
  16. I saw it as a humorous "it happens every year" comment rather than a complaint.
  17. Trey wintgenter has a new changeup and it's unhittable.
  18. Google earth also uses balloons. https://www.pcworld.com/article/470020/google_earth_adds_balloon_kite_imagery.html Maybe not as good as the Chinese balloons, but who knows? This was 11 years ago.
  19. It's just amusing that you complain that people are condescending to you because you're a "hick from Cornhole" and then you are condescending to everyone else. I don't think anyone here views you as a "dumb hick". You're a smart guy who happens to live in a rural area.
  20. That would be like excpecting our presidents to know everything that is going on!
  21. Why are you shocked? Not everyone knows how google earth and balloons work. There might even be things about the world that you don't know. Thanks for your response though.
  22. Why was everybody so worked up about a balloon when Google earth is already photographing the entire world 24 hours a day and making the results available on the internet?
  23. It could be reality. Expanded playoffs for sure, gambling for sure and they have even discussed home runs deciding tie games.
  24. They'll fix it with further expanded playoffs, gambling and home run derby replacing extra innings.
  25. I definitely don't trust big pharma. I don't always trust the agencies, but I do trust some of the people who work there (the ones that actually do the work). I know a few of them through work.
