I think people miss the point of charging for Twitter.

There is an element of it removing the "esteem" of having a verified checkmark, although honestly I've never put much weight by it personally.

And yes, many of the people objecting at having to pay $8 a month are really annoyed that YOU will be able to get what they had, for only $8 a month.

But the main thing is bots. You could easily run tens of thousands of bots and not only doesn't it cost you anything it costs the company. Having a charge changes the equation. It's why the future will be micro-transactions for sending email and using other services.

And just like all the threats that people make about "moving to Canada" after every election or judicial decision, the reality is the majority of people are all talk and will pony up the money.

Wow! I almost couldn't buy toys for my kids because of the defamation but I can buy them for myself as collectors items?... Bruh!!! Talk about a what the heck moment

This is why I think Lloyd is missing a few marbles. He's not just *not* smart, he's actually dumb.

It seems like he invents some narrative and the minute he's come up with it the first sucker is himself. he actually seems to believe his claims, and acts as though it's real. Posts things publicly and then moves on to his next incident with no thought that the stories have to be consistent.

So he flips from "me so poor, kids so hungry" to make a point about how unfair it is that people are not sending him the free monies, to "look at me, the big man, flashing cash on silly adult toys!". No self awareness that he's a) stupid with money and b) exposing himself as a blatant liar.

As for the court stuff: his issue will always be that he has no business or legitimate income to harm. Begging online is not a job. Soliciting donations isn't earning money. It's all contingent on people's good will and his reputation and he blew that to pieces all on his own. He doesn't have any right to expect people to donate to him. The fact that he set himself up to rely on that for "income" and at the same time took it so for granted that he believed he could behave so despicably, in a way that would offend most reasonable people, goes back to his complete lack of self awareness.

This just showed up on my facebook feed ... WTF?

I haven't clicked, I can do without seeing them. But he's even losing at neck-bearding now.

Sad.

(edit--i just noticed the typo in the header--if should be of ).

Me, mother and sisters. All the witches of the family.

Not Reporting Child Abuse Should Be Prosecuted

by usualusername1 in

jw
friends

anyone who works with children and does not report child sexual abuse should be prosecuted, the final report of a huge, seven-year inquiry has recommended.. this could be huge for elders in the uk.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63318342.

Simon

Also important is that those it's reported to take proper action, otherwise it's not really going to make any difference.

Too much horrific child abuse by grooming gangs has been ignored by authorities and local councils. Anyone who did should be prosecuted. At the very least, they should lose their jobs.

you expect me to concede to each any every point that you challenge, even though you have no special legal background.

Yeah, imagine conceding a point to someone who does NOT have any special legal background ... said the man with no special legal background.

He was trying to make out he had legal smarts even back then.

Narrator: he did not, and would later show the world just how much legal smarts he lacked.

LOL. It was very big of him to turn down the (un-offered) job of moderator. I'm sure he would have been the very model of an impartial and fair jurist.

Yeah, can you imagine? There would have been no one left very quickly other than people praising him.

Let me just state that I would never second guess Simon on his decision to delete someone. 10 years ago, without knowing what Lloyd has done now I think I still would have had the opinion as stated above.

I'm like a drunk with a machine gun ... I hit the right target, eventually ;)

Is Raiders of the Lost Ark OK for a 7 year old? In addition to the violent scenes mentioned above, Raiders of the Lost Ark contains images that might scare or upset children under eight. In particular, one scene towards the end of the movie contains horror images as well as blood and gore. Younger children might find it very disturbing and frightening.

Take a step back. Lloyd is spending "quality time" with his kids. He'd prefer to be elsewhere, doing other things (i.e. doing prostitutes), but he has to watch a movie.

What movie does he pick? Something the kid wants to watch? Fuck no! He picks something he wants to re-watch.

Because I guarantee no 8 year old wants to watch some 40+ year old movie with religion and nazis in it. They want to watch a Pixar or Disney movie, or Pepper-Pork, erm, I mean Pig.

He's such a selfish twat, even watching a movie with his kid has to be his choice, not theirs.

ALL genital mutilation of babies is barbaric and backward. You're in a weirdo cult.

Covid virus transmission NOT tested in Pfizer trials

by BoogerMan in

why isn't the world's media covering this revelation?.

if i'd lost a job, business, or reputation for refusing to "get jabbed and save other people's lives," i think i'd be demanding to know what "science" enforced some of the draconian laws & punishments on those who declined the "offer.".

All the "follow the science" was really "believe the propaganda", because how could there be any science if they didn't test for it and there was therefore no data to base the policies on?

All lies, and those responsible for untold deaths should be harassed anytime they step foot outside. Seriously, make them afraid to sit in a restaurant. If they are not going to be prosecuted for their crimes, society should impose its own sanctions on them.

Many of these people got insanely wealthy from the lockdowns, while others suffered untold misery and were denied the chance to say goodbye to loved ones.

The data is clear now that the places that locked down and vaccinated the most had the highest excess deaths.
