What I'm shocked by is absolutely nobody in this thread realising this is a spoof of Jussie Smollet and has become a mild right wing/running joke whenever rules change back/are removed and has been spammed and joked about to oblivion.

How retarded are you lot for taking it seriously when its clearly a spoofy "hot take"?

Personally I hope Musk can 1) Monetize Twitter as its failed to do miserably (Like, every fifth tweet in your feed being a sponsored one) and 2) Actually restore free speech to the platform.

So to celebrate, here's Hot Dad's Cars in Space.

Please be patient we have autism. Don't expect a website full of autists to understand obvious jokes.

I miss the days when there was basically no money to be made in platforms that allowed people to talk online, so every one of them was hosted by somebody personally dedicated to that platform and its users.

And most of them ended up like Something Awful anyway.

Imagine tech companies doing something like that, I literally can't even imagine it.

Jack's attitude shift is interesting. Honestly people always suspected Jack wanting to become a politician in the future and I think this might be part of it.

Jack is not as retarded as people make him out to be. I theorize he sees the tides turning and will try to run as a Republican only to end up being a Rino. I can see many stupid voters believing he has had a change in heart.

Jack is literally a white man with a beard, the chances of him being pro-freedom are very great. As soon as Jack left and was replaced by a hand-picked street shitter the site became even worse than it was before.

Banning porn was largely the issue that caused BETAMAX to die, while VHS flourished. Learn from history.

I know it's about 30 pages late and a throwaway comment, but porn wasn't "banned" from Beta and wasn't the reason VHS won.
Literally anyone could buy tapes and record anything they want to them and there's nothing Sony could do about it. Porn industry chose VHS because it was the already dominant format when porn started moving from film to video. Porn isn't exactly a high budget affair; they're not going to buy expensive equipment to produce a product that only television stations have the equipment to play it back with (and the FCC would have a few problems with that I think).

VCRs were invented to record live television for time-shifting programs in the home. Commercially available, pre-recorded content was not initially a financially feasible thing and really only ended up coming about later as a side effect of VCRs becoming popular. But once they were popular the choice of format wasn't really a choice at that point, VHS already won.

VHS beat Beta because JVC was licensing out the tech, letting everyone make players (more competition, cheaper machines) and JVC was perfectly content with degrading the quality of the recordings to squeeze more time out of the tapes. I believe they also used a cheaper, lower quality tape than Sony as standard. Sony was a bit too proud of their image quality to include a long-play recording mode (until they were forced to later). It turns out people who are recording television on expensive tape so they can watch it later don't give a shit about the quality of the recording if it looks good enough. It also probably doesn't help that Sony had to fight in the courts to allow the existence of VCRs as a legal product at all, which meant JVC could enter the consumer market around the same time as Sony and without legal fees to recover from.

I knew I was partially wrong. I was just hoping someone could correct me. I just like repeating urban myths sometimes.
