Why are people like this?
A mathematician in training seeks logic in an illogical world. And doesn't find it. But at least there's coffee.

@GHOSTBLOCK2 @JamesMi06251330 @DiedSuddenly_ "And the best you can come up with is anecdotes."
Says somebody who we're about to see post a second hand anecdote, as you accuse others of doing that which you're doing, yourself.
But you know what's even better than your projection? Gaslighting. You write ...
@GHOSTBLOCK2 @JamesMi06251330 @DiedSuddenly_ "'A number of recipients are dead...'
And we are just supposed to trust you, even though you refuse to trust actual verifiable sources and experts."
As if we hadn't all been present during the last few years as this happened, over and over and over, right here on Twitter.

@GHOSTBLOCK2 @JamesMi06251330 @DiedSuddenly_ Quoting your own intro back to you, you are a
"Musician/Content Creator from Vancouver Island, BC."
who, by your own account
"worked front desk of a busy hotel at the height of COVID in mid 2020"
@GHOSTBLOCK2 @JamesMi06251330 @DiedSuddenly_ You are an uninformed, uneducated layman whose entire argument isn't merely an anecdote, but in fact an anecdote about anecdotes allegedly shared with him by other uniformed, uneducated laymen.
This is hearsay taken to the next level.

@elonmusk @niccruzpatane @cybertruck @sparksmotors @Tesla @WholeMarsBlog @tesla_na I just wrote to your CEO about an issue on Twitter that has arisen since you took over.
I'll quote link my tweets to her, so you can see what this is about.
@elonmusk @niccruzpatane @cybertruck @sparksmotors @Tesla @WholeMarsBlog @tesla_na
Right now, there's a small company that has been denied the freedom to communicate with its followers on Twitter, because it tried to help one of its customers and in the process, tripped across a booby trap one of your employees built into the system.
@lindayaX @rpoo The name of the company is Lifeway (@lifeway_kefir). I tried to report a quality control issue to them by PM, and was instantly locked out of my account and forced to pass an "Arkose Challenge" in order to be let back in. When I got back in, my PM was gone.

@SomeBitchIIKnow I'm going to cut and paste Jason's words, just in case the creep deletes his tweet and tries to pretend that he was "misunderstood" later on.
@SomeBitchIIKnow Jason writes:
"To be clear, I've never asked for you to be doxxed.
I asked if anyone knew who you were because you've become popular, and people keep asking me to cover your releases. Before I cite something, I like to know the source.

@PM_ViktorOrban @NATO @jensstoltenberg Might I ask roughly how far off in the future that "first possible opportunity" might be?
It is interesting reading for reasons that should quickly become obvious.euractiv.com/section/global…
@PM_ViktorOrban @NATO @jensstoltenberg "Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said Thursday (24 November) parliament would approve Finland and Sweden’s accession to NATO next year, with only Budapest and Ankara left to green-light their application.

@withAcquiesce @CrabigailVonB @SharonSBledsoe @Dropthesoap229 @Timcast "3: Refusing to call for peace and nonviolence while the capitol was being stormed."
He issued just such a call, right here on Twitter. Do you ever get tired of lying?
@withAcquiesce @CrabigailVonB @SharonSBledsoe @Dropthesoap229 @Timcast "1: Spreading misinformation about the election despite tons of court cases disproving it."
Court cases don't "prove" or "disprove" anything. Courts aren't manned by gods, and they're perfectly capable of coming to incorrect conclusions and bad judgments.

@BostonPlum@PrisonPlanet Gov. Pritzker of Illinois comes to mind. His family took a trip out of state during the lockdowns he imposed. When he was called on that, he had the nerve to complain about the "harassment."
@BostonPlum@PrisonPlanet But that having been said ... all but one of the nation's governors (Kristi Noem of South Dakota) usurped legislative power through the issuance of unconstitutional executive orders.

@patternologist@sye49913267@Kanthan2030 I notice that your only response to the points I raised was the aforementioned posturing.
@patternologist@sye49913267@Kanthan2030 You assert that the Russians can't be defeated without US help, without backing that assertion up with so much as a single fact, and then try to hide behind your toddler when I call you on that.

@GerardLikesTit@Kanthan2030@Robert_Patman Reality check: The Indian economy only surpassed the British economy in size this year, despite the fact that India has over 20.9 times as many people, meaning that India has less than 1/20th of the per capita wealth of what is not the wealthiest country in the West.
@GerardLikesTit@Kanthan2030@Robert_Patman That increase in Indian wealth is a result of the Western pursuit of cheap labor, not of native development. When India pretends that the West needs it more than it needs the West, it sets itself up for disaster.
I was being told it was no such thing by my own physician, early in 2020, after I and a group of my classmates all noticed the same glaring seeming statistical anomaly, almost instantly.
@ErikaJK1016@samanthaagodwin@techjudge@MichaelPSenger The streets were packed in a densely populated neighborhood, and filled with people who weren't respecting personal space, much less social distancing - eg. non-consensual hugging of strangers.
The banks of the very short Chicago River are lined with concrete, downtown, out of necessity. There is no pristine nature there, to preserve, the only sign of life in that river being the boat traffic.
@Sphendonetos@Caracal_Lover@tldyesterday@chicagotribune There's no food chain in that river to preserve. There hasn't been one there for a long time.
As for the 48 hour duration of the dye I've heard cited, having lived downtown, I can tell you that claim is optimistic to the point of hilarity.

@becksy2@Liamo1malley@AberlourSpey@chicagotribune German-Americans have their own holidays, which they are left to celebrate in peace. As for the "British Americans," Americans of Irish descent have outnumbered Americans of English descent for a long time, despite your confident ignorance to the contrary, B2.
@becksy2@Liamo1malley@AberlourSpey@chicagotribune Also, Americans of English descent get away with defining themselves to be the norm, Anglo-American culture declaring itself to be THE American culture, supporting this arrogant claim with nothing more than a tirelessly aggressive stance toward other cultures.
which can be useful information for dealing with a troll, because while he can easily change his handle, he has to start a new account to get a new ID.
@AmaBozo_@FoundOldAccount@AntoniaJamiana@chicagotribune Looking at a recently archived copy of his profile
I find that the banner he has chosen tells the whole story. Here it is, set against a black background so it will fit into a tweet more tidily, instead of spilling out over the edges of the frame.

@flippinsg@DrJBhattacharya "Seems the American left is more subject to authoritarianism under the guise of fighting it. "
I wonder if that's really true. Neither of the Bushes were exactly civil libertarians, themselves. Gitmo? Indefinite extra-judicial detention and torture?

@Artemizia_123@DrJBhattacharya No, the credentialed did not all fall in line. But when they spoke against "the Science" (tm), they were silenced.
This is what happens when freedom of speech is negotiable. On Twitter, mob rule is in place.
@Artemizia_123@DrJBhattacharya If enough people false flag a tweet, the system automatically locks the account of the person whose tweet got flagged. This leaves the user having to appeal to an anonymous admin, who in many cases will gaslight him about his own tweet, and refuse to unlock his account.

@ShawnMcCarthyCO@OkieMAGA45@MoralitySecular@elonmusk@ZubyMusic Mike, for the record, Fauci's orders to fund gain of function research in the lab in Wuhan was found a long time ago. Psychological speculations about motive are a diversion, when physical evidence is already in hand.

@MoralitySecular@elonmusk@ZubyMusic Mike. No. In real life, offline, physicians were advising patients of the risk factors and (generally low) risk levels posed to them, fairly accurately.
Covid was never considered "unprecedented" by serious, ethical professionals.
@MoralitySecular@elonmusk@ZubyMusic Had the social web never been invented, it probably never would have been considered one by almost anybody, to this very day, because all one had to do to find out that one wasn't at serious risk was go to one's doctor and ask.
Really easy.

@_waterscapes_ just used the link you listed to appeal the locking of his account. Again. He's kind of steamed. I can see why.
His account was used for posting family-friendly black and white photos of water. No rules broken, and your staff has been stalling him for over a year.
@_waterscapes_ The only thing he was guilty of was not being a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, and of getting harassed by somebody who threatened to shove him into an oven and leave him in there to burn to death.

@baschmi@FentanylP@RealBetyCardens@EndWokeness@elonmusk It does give them that immunity outside of some very well defined areas, and like it or not, neither Germany, nor the European Union, nor the UN, nor you will have a voice in determining what those will be.
The US decides that, unilaterally.
@baschmi@FentanylP@RealBetyCardens@EndWokeness@elonmusk The first amendment doesn't protect one in cases of libel, slander or sedition, but it most certainly does provide absolute protection from any law that would mandate political correctness.
