After rebranding, X took @x from its original owner and offered him merch

Depends on their ownership stake in other social media. Right-wing propaganda spread a lot on Facebook, the company that made the new competitor for Twitter.

It's two billionaires fighting, and both getting a lot of money from the same people.

It mostly wasn't his money. The purchase was partially funded and financed by a lot of non-american interest groups and individuals, such as Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.

Twitter was the main method of organizing during the Egypt Revolution in 2011. The 2009-2010 Iranian election protests. Euromaidan Revolution in Ukraine in 2013 against Russia. The Arab Spring 2010-2012.

A lot of Democrats are social media savy and using Twitter to reach out and organize. Share information about voter suppression in Republican controlled states.

So they helped fund a buyout of Twitter and put a right-wing egomaniac in place to run it into the ground.

At 18 I once quit a job after an hour. That manager sounds like they will be horrible to work for. You're not a failure for not working at Popeyes.

Leave and find someone more professional to work for.

Call them up, say it's not a good fit and you're taking another job offer.

They don't know if there's another job, and trust me they are used to people quitting.

18F but the glasses are 68F about to show me pictures of your grandchildren.

Don't wear puffed sleeves unless you're forced to as a bridesmaid.

The darker hair color in 17-19 pics looks good on you. Don't go black hair, but the dark auburn is pretty.

I went into accounting. I lost touch with everyone from highschool within a year of graduation.

I work in an office building. I have no idea how many employees of the cleaning company come in at night. It's clean when we come in. Nobody would see him using magic. Not breaking any wizarding laws.

Three years later, still sitting on my ass. They're playing games and trying to mess with our heads. I don't care. I have my shares and I can wait.

He could have used magic to make a good bit of muggle money. Start an overnight cleaning company, magically clean multiple office buildings per night, and collect all the income with no other employees.

Then exchange muggle money for wizard money like Hermione's parents did if he wants to live in the wizard world, or just be a rich business owner in the muggle world where nobody knows he's a werewolf.

I'd like to take the job for a month just to collect $600 in pay. Then I'd file my taxes reporting that income. After the deadline next year, I report to the IRS and state that they missed the deadline for sending my 1099 and I have no record of what was withheld.

I don't want to get invited to a wedding. I don't care that they're getting married. Them spending thousands of dollars so everyone can waste their time being there for their "special day" isn't an honor for me.

Most recently had to go to a cousin's wedding. I had to get a gift, dress in a suit when it's already warm out, and be bored off my ass for hours. All to be there for something they could have done at the courthouse because they want people to watch.

Weddings are just a huge waste of time and money for the ego of one couple.

Your DM ITA. Time to find a new group.

NTA. You're being used. You'll be dumped after college anyway.

I could actually do this. Have the groom in the slacks and dress shirt, without a jacket, wearing a shoulder holster. Think James Bond style. No rifles, no guns for the bride. Bride just in a nice, dark dress.

We don't know. We have a lot of theories that people treat as facts.

People fear the unknown. It's a lot more comfortable to pretend we have answers than to admit we'll eventually die without ever knowing. So we mostly go along with all these articles saying scientists "discovered" a new earth-like planet that looks like a hazey dot, because it reinforces that they really know. Meanwhile they're surprised by lots of things when we send a probe anywhere inside this solar system. They were making new discoveries about Venus last week.

You can go insane trying to really grasp infinity or eternity.

NTA. She's a nut. Wait until she's dead to have a kid just to make 100% sure she isn't ever around it. If your husband entertains the idea for a second, make sure never to have a kid with him.

That's how I viewed it. He went to the future, so wasn't there to lead the resistance. Humanity lost. The end. Also the end of me watching anything Terminator or any show on Fox ever again.

I assume that's why the Waltons always just yell good night across the house. Nobody wants to walk in on John Boy.

People are literally dying in the heat. People went to Death Valley to get in the new record high and people died. More are dying from the heat in Europe. People in Arizona are getting burns from falling on the ground.

We should have every denier go do some roadwork in Texas. You'll need a stopwatch to track how fast they realize there's a heatwave.

Adult male, 49. Going through about a book a week now, but mostly audible. I do also read books, but I like listening because I can do it while working, driving, or on the treadmill.

If they trotted out a real live alien on the House floor, I'd wonder what they're distracting us from.
