      Elon actually hands these out to people who don’t want them because they were unpopular and an easy means of telling chuds apart from… uh, chads? There’s a good chance hers is a forced advertisement and not something she’s actually paying for.

          So are an insanely large amount of people.

          I don’t think people on here realise that we are in an echo chamber ourselves and often times not very forgiving of people with differing opinions, where I would assume we should want to bring people to our point of view by being accepting and trying to educate on our beliefs.

          So in this echo chamber of what 50K MAUs it can sometimes be hard to keep sight of the fact we are the smallest of minorities in this space and what we see is absolutely not a representation of what most people in the world care about.

          I’ve never used Twitter but I’m not going to shit on other people for using it.

          Were you on Reddit when they had loads of jailbait subs? Would you like to labelled as part of that same group just because you shared the same space?

          Does it not seem reasonable that some people might use Twitter as a means to keep in the loop and not isolate from the crazies, Nazis, bigots or whatever. You can’t converse with the other side if you ain’t where they are at and if we all stay in our own echo chambers what are we really achieving other than a self-righteous circle jerk?

          To be abundantly clear I am including myself in this too and not just calling you out. But this place is exhausting at times, I am the most cynical person I know and this place really gives me a run for my money at times. Even in the less serious stuff, like you can’t oppose Linux here you’ll be downvoted to shit for even having a different opinion. You have to use FOSS everything, and you should even be eating open source food 😂

            tl;dr, but I still think displaying mild disgust at anyone who uses twitter today is the correct reaction

              That’s your prerogative, but I wonder if you see the danger of all people online splitting into their own groups?

              The way I see it is you have a place just filled with say Nazis then they’re never going to learn or understand different perspectives and they’re going to become more radical.

                Nazis don’t understand different perspectives. It’s essentially the definition.

                That said, I see value in posting for the peanut gallery (when I encounter Nazis here, I don’t go on Twitter).

                But debating Nazis? Hoping to change their minds?

                Nah, prefer to serve them knuckle sandwiches and go about my day.

                  This reads like you making the assumption that people are born Nazis and it’s not a learned behaviour.

                  Some people can hold their beliefs because of the environment they grew up in and many can actually change if people actually cared about educating people and not just feeling superior.

                  I want to stress this is only my opinion and I respect that you have yours too.

    Whoa, whoa. How dare this uppity woman talk like that to Dr. Bradley D. D. Wentworth, PhD., an internationally renowned expert on footballogy and beeristics? His accolades include frequent beating of his wife, a penchant for racial slurs, and living in a trailer down by the river.

      Beeristics sounds like an awesome field, too bad Brad is in it.

    Between the post and some of the comments, I’m pretty sure we’re on the worst time.

    At least, the worst surviving timeline. I’m sure plenty of “worse” timelines have existed that killed off the entirety of the planet.

    This is just the worst of what’s left.

    oh shit i didnt know that, I love her content just thought she only worked at NASA in the dmv area. Used to run into her videos on insta - she REALLY loves space.

    When those two astronauts were stuck in space(also fuck boeing), she provided some insides about their procedures and plans of return.

      Arm chair Monday morning quarterback is giving him way too much. Arm chair Monday morning waterboy is more like it.

    This verbal smack down could have been avoided had he read probably anything about her from online and didn’t only know her because she dated a Foosball player.

    You see ladies, mansplaining is a portmanteau of the words man, and explaining. Meaning a man explaining something… Actually let me back up. A portmanteau is a blending of two words in both sound and meaning.

    So mansplaining… /S

    Not to downplay the rest of her accomplishments but can’t you essentially buy your way onto the F30U30 list?

      I think so. My sister has been contacted by Forbes that she can pay for a spot on the list. There was a cheaper option for just the nomination.

      isn’t a Forbes list the kind of list that buying your way into it proves you belong there?
