The best condiment is Chick-fil-A sauce. The most overrated condiment is Catsup. The most underrated condiment is Mustard.

A1 Sauce allll day long. Throw in some Franks Red Hot for good measure.

Misinformation = "Things I don't agree with or want other people to hear."

Eye of the beholder. Slippery slope to wielding censorship as a political weapon.

Who gets to decide what's real and what isn't? You? Me? "Experts" who are human and can be wrong and / or dishonest like everyone else?

It's best to put it all out there and let people sort it out for themselves.
The problem is that isn't what he is doing. As other posters have said--he's still censoring, just different viewpoints.

And misinformation = lies or statements contradicted by actual data.

Can we please not turn this thread into a conservative vs liberal debate over Twitter and Elon Musk please? Thanks.
Seriously. I hate when people have to insert politics into every aspect of their lives. We're here to get away from it. For those masochists who love the Kabuki Theater that is left/right politics, you're in for a treat this year so please save your energy.

I do not agree with the bolded. What is and isn't is exactly that. A fact is a fact is a fact. And so on.

I'm guessing some people don't like Elon Musk and call him names because he now allows opinions that they don't like.

In terms of the usefulness of the platform, it has more activity than ever, so....
This is very true but needs some context. In terms of activity, X is still lightyears behind peers in global activity. An app that is slated for ban in the US has nearly quadruple the active users that X does. To be fair to Elon, Twitter lagged the peers substantially when he overpaid for the platform. Still, there has not been a large increase in US users since he took over (growth has been driven from international users). Truth is that X/Twitter is relatively small in terms of social media.

So less idiots? Less censoring? Less people spending all their time and taking it way too seriously? If Elon Musk is an idiot then I wanna be one too
I dunno which website youre using but my experience has been 30% less interesting people, the same censorship just to own the libs now and 2000% more pornbots, trolls & nazis.

Plus it doesnt have nearly enough gifs for my liking.

2nd team all big 10 is more than hype / potential
That's part of the hype I was referring to.

His shooting efficiency was slightly behind Perkins for second worst of the seven 2nd team selections (there were eight between the coaches and media). The next closest to him (Walker and Young) provided some combination of assists and steals and played on much better defensive teams.

Crazy how when news first broke that Storr was asking for a million, it sounded like a stupid high price. And now it sounds like a million+ is the going rate for a starting / all conference type shooting guard.
Economics…supply side inflation now in play

In what world does it have more activity than ever?

Its down 15-20% by their own metrics.
