I don't deny that part of it, im more speaking to people's fears about the usability of the platform. It sorta sucks now. But if you have very specific uses for twitter and very specific niches that you follow, I don't think thats suddenly going to be overrun with alt right shit heads the moment Musk takes over. Would it be shocking if most people didn't even notice a change?

Not immediately, but in a year or two absolutely. Remember online conservatives love to troll and antagonize userbases, look at how they try with these boards here.

Its not going to be hard to turn twitter into Kiwifarms in three years if they are serious about ‘anything goes’ as those leaked chats show. If its a subtle change the yes, I agree no immediate change.

These peoples brains have rotted so much they can't even comprehend how many "chuds" are already on Twitter even though they've spent years getting outraged about them constantly. Who are all these chuds who they think can't be on Twitter already? The very same Twitter they all call a Nazi capitalist hellscape constantly. Like, what exactly are they expecting to change that they think Twitter isn't going to be able to do anymore? Progressive Twitter spends just as much time complaining about the overzealous automatic bans. What in the world are these people even talking about?

I thought the "six years" thing was basically saying "we're not going to take more than six years between each project", which would mean eighteen years working on the new trilogy.

I don't think this is true at all and it's definitely missing the bigger issue. The damage that will be enabled geopolitically is far worse and more important than the importance of damage done to a singular social media company will ever be.

A fair system where actors play by the rules ceases to exist the moment new age fascists take control and make everything into Putin-esque mafia states. This ain't a fucking game. Time to wake up.

the issue is that they want certain kinds of speech curtailed, tacitly/socially if not by law, being able to say "it's a private company and you have no first amendment rights here"
 

but if a site is in compliance with the law in being speech-permissive, you prompt them to change the law (similar to the supreme court saying if you want abortions federally, ratify that by law instead of leaning on a single court case)

so, section 230 will be under assault again soon

Time to throw hot takes before reading the OP

I'm guessing she's one of the only black people in the neighborhood and this is an attempt to make her feel unwelcome. Especially if the Trump doormat somehow didn't trigger a fine. I would be so happy if this leads to a court case that ultimately neuters HOA power.

Edit: vid shows she's not black. Somebody still get this ally a lawyer.

HOAs are the biggest crock of shit and anyone that defends them or their mere concept is also full of shit.

They’re racially and economically motivated to punish people others in the neighborhood seem as “undesirables.” Usually POC or those on the lower economical end.

They’re also stupidly corrupt.

Like how the local HOA requires a quarterly payment for lawn maintenance that goes to the lawn company owned by the vice president of the HOA. Or fencing has to be approved and their fencing company is run by a brother or close friend. Sheer garbage shit.

The whole idea of HOAs is a very American stupidity.

It's going to be a total trainwreck.

Elon will appoint someone to run it because he has no time to do so himself, which is someone like Palmer Lucky, Kanye West or a 'sigma' crypto tech bro we've never heard of. They will unban the right wing and the 'boss' because Peter Thiel and the other people Elon wants to be friends with tell him to and they all flock back to Twitter. Lots of the current moderators will leave (because they already mentally broke down in the Slack/Discords when this was just a rumor) so the crypto/Tesla groupies will spam Elon and the new CEO asking for mod powers, which he will gladly hand out because he's short on staff which means it's open season on the libs and journalists and their DM's. 

It's going to be much like the NeoGAF of old with Elon playing the part of Evilore until there's some kind of infighting, lawsuit or scandal that breaks the whole thing apart.

All these people beaming with excitement at the news of a Cyberpunk sequel... y'all ain't slick! I see what you doing

Not disputing your recognition of this place's all too often hypocrisy, but that's more of a user issue. On a moderation angle, don't we like, still have the game banned? Are we just letting this be a thing when we have a banned game getting a second wind without recognition and appropriate reason to unban it for transphobia?

I'd really like for the mods to have a discussion about this and figure out what they believe is appropriate, their's is a hard job and I know this won't make a lot of people happy, but... you can go anywhere else to discuss the game if you really want to.

We gotta uphold the standards of this place, and keep it a Trans-Safe enviroment for discussion and empathy. I hope that this game's ban is reconstituted and we stop Openly supporting CD Project Red for their stances on our vulnerable members.

It's really not all that incredible.

This is the man who said slavery was a choice.
This is the man who bragged that his wife (Kim K) made him take 30 showers for dating biracial Amber Rose.
This is the same man who gave some white fashion designer "permission" to say nicca (shoutout to your clown ass for doing this shit too, Chris Rock)
This is the same man who wore a MAGA hat for years and went to the White House to publicly suck up to Trump at every opportunity.

Like, there comes a point where I'm looking at y'all goofy. I don't even follow Kanye West like that, but just knowing a little bit about this man and his breed of attention-grabbing bullshit over the last few years makes shit like this on brand. This is him. It's exactly who he's been for years. YEARS, y'all.

On Truth he's pretty much on his own, he can't really lash out at the liberals because they aren't on Truth.
So it's mostly him Truthing into the void as well as retruthing the Qanon groupies.

On Twitter he can once again call out the people he sees on TV, live comment to Fox News and hopefully starts replying to others and the comments again (which were his biggest bangers).

[Propagandhim]

Oh.  Well either way,  .  The gov't shouldn't be able to compel a private company to keep certain people on their site or draw up their own TOS for them to abide by.  And in the same vein, if Elon's Twitter unbans Trump, so be it.  Such a small fraction of Americans even have a twitter account, let alone check it obsessively and are addicted to it.  CNN and MSNBC, etc should just make the executive decision to stop reporting on his tweets if they think they're a danger to society.

The cognitive dissonance between the Cyberpunk thread and the Black Panther thread is amazing especially when Letitia Wright linked a video that actually contained transphobia and not just some portrayal that offends your tender sensibilities.

As someone said earlier, Wright has problematic views but boycotting a majority black film because of her views ain’t the way either.

Title: Florida Requires Teen Girl Athletes to Register their Menstual Cycle to Compete

https://twitter.com/jaxdotcom/status/1577448988470648833


Article is paywalled but this summary is sufficient

Someone else links another, non-paywalled article, and posts a giant chunk of it (excluding the first two paragraphs, this will be important later):

https://fortune.com/2022/10/04/florida-female-student-athletes-menstrual-history-concerns-abortion/

Historically, that has been done on paper forms. This fall, however, some districts—including Palm Beach, Broward, Hillsborough and Sarasota counties—will switch to a digital platform that's held by a third party. And in the post–Roe v. Wade world, that has many people concerned.

"I don't see why (school districts) need that access to that type of information," said Dr. Michael Haller, a pediatric endocrinologist based in Gainesville told the Palm Beach Post. "It sure as hell will give me pause to fill it out with my kid."
...
Abortion rights advocates have raised alarms about tracking a woman's menstrual history since the Supreme Court reversed Roe. And the sensitive information about minors will kept by a software company that has existed for just over one year. Aktivate, founded by former AOL CEO and News Corp. executive Jon Miller, will store the data; the company was launched last September.
...
Aktivate says all student information will be kept confidential. Critics note, however, that since the company is not run by a medical care provider, it is not protected by HIPAA laws, so it could be forced to turn over the data to the state if subpoenaed.

Non-paywall article

But yeah, persecuting all women to own the trans folks.

The usual suspects are OUTRAGED.

An moderator has doubts about the OP:

I'm starting to raise serious questions as to whether that is true, especially with news this inflammatory.

Shouldn't we be supplying a source that makes readily available the laws and facts which come along with this?

I provided non-paywall source in my first post.

Guess what was in the two paragraphs not included in Vonocourt's post?

I'm a little confused because the quote in the OP says 'have to', but in the article you link, before your quote, there's this:

Before they're allowed to take the field, female student athletes in Florida are asked about their menstrual history—and as that data increasingly moves to digital platforms, parents and doctors are expressing some grave concerns about the practice.



Asking questions such as when the student got their first period and when they had their last one isn't anything new in Florida. It's been an ongoing question for two decades, and it is optional.

So it sounds like it's an optional 20-year-old question. Still fucked, but it doesn't sound motivated by the current round of culture wars, and doesn't read like 'have to'.

Thread is locked like five minutes later; no mod closing post, nothing in the OP noting it's total clickbait bullshit by the forum's baseless shit-stirrer, and no chance of an actual discussion about why an athletic program might want menstrual cycles or concerns that go along with it. Just, initial outrage clickbait assumptions didn't pan out, time to nuke the thread.

[HaughtyFrank]

Excel in the OP

Article is paywalled but this summary is sufficient

 

[nobody of note]

B-dubs did swing in to explain it all:

It turns out that the framing of this thread has nothing to do with any of the facts in any articles about this subject. Not only is this not new, but it is totally optional. The actual news here is that the information is now being submitted to an app. Here is a non-paywalled article on the issue:

Florida student athletes asked to report their menstrual history. Here are the questions

The relevant reporting:

For more than 20 years, the Florida State High School Athletic Association has asked female athletes to answer the following questions on their pre-participation form:

When was your first menstrual period?
When was your most recent menstrual period?
How much time do you usually have from the start of one period to
the start of another?
How many periods have you had in the last year?
What was the longest time between periods in the last year?
The questions are marked as optional.

And here is why this is an issue:

Although the questions are nothing new, athletes, their families, and their doctors are taking a closer look at where this information goes after the overturning of Roe v. Wade this summer by the U.S. Supreme Court.

With reproductive privacy and parental rights over children's data top of mind, both abortion rights advocates and concerned parents have raised alarms about the questions and and how they can be used.

Given the framing of the thread has nothing to do with any of the facts, this thread is being locked. In the future, please avoid using articles that you cannot access to source threads, please quote from any articles you are sourcing, and don't just use tweets.

It turns out the summary wasn't sufficient and neither was the thread title.

So on the upside there's an explanation; on the downside excel maintains threadmaking privileges to keep doing this.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Armchair Diagnoses of Mental Health

I agree with most people on the fuck him train, I was never a fan of his music, but from what people that are into that genre he is insanely talented, and as some one that knows more than the average person about mental health, I myself am Asperger’s and deal with massive anxiety, depression and was married for many years to a women with rapid cycling bi polar. Is there no one in his life that can get him help? I could be wrong, but just from his antics I’m getting a serious vibe of serious mental health issues, could me all bullshit for marketing? But I don’t know. Seems like he needs help.

Aktivate says all student information will be kept confidential. Critics note, however, that since the company is not run by a medical care provider, it is not protected by HIPAA laws, so it could be forced to turn over the data to the state if subpoenaed.

Just as an aside, I don't think this last part is right either. I'm pretty sure the state can always subpoena this stuff and being a "medical care provider" wouldn't be an exemption. HIPAA (or HIPPA as it's known by experts on Twitter who mostly discovered it during the pandemic) is not "illegal to share medical information" it's about specific types of disclosures by private parties.

Even though media literacy expert incelsiorlef stated the "summary is sufficient" it seems like possibly nothing about this was actually a story? And certainly nothing about it had anything to do with trans people as Vonocourt alleged.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Armchair Diagnoses of Mental Health

I agree with most people on the fuck him train, I was never a fan of his music, but from what people that are into that genre he is insanely talented, and as some one that knows more than the average person about mental health, I myself am Asperger’s and deal with massive anxiety, depression and was married for many years to a women with rapid cycling bi polar. Is there no one in his life that can get him help? I could be wrong, but just from his antics I’m getting a serious vibe of serious mental health issues, could me all bullshit for marketing? But I don’t know. Seems like he needs help.

 

My sister is bipolar (i've had chronic depression and dealt with psychosis much of my life, not to mention being on the spectrum, dealing with PTSD from abuse) so I get a general idea of what getting help means, though in a country with universal health care maybe the only reason im here now. Last thing I want to do is sound like im defending 2022 Kanye, just didn't think that its always possible for people to seek help. I really think this is just who he is now with or without mental illness.

Thread is locked like five minutes later; no mod closing post, nothing in the OP noting it's total clickbait bullshit by the forum's baseless shit-stirrer, and no chance of an actual discussion about why an athletic program might want menstrual cycles or concerns that go along with it. Just, initial outrage clickbait assumptions didn't pan out, time to nuke the thread.

and this is someone trying to spin a news article to fool people WHILE PREACHING TO THE CHOIR

everyone on era already inherently disagrees with this sort of thing!

it's not a situation where republicans are trying to rationalize bad thing as a non-story, it had to be called out by someone who already had excel's leanings

just more of how fucking bad news is these days, someone is always trying to bury the lede or make mountains out of molehills because it's so important to get Your Side riled up to Do Something about it

once someone is at a protest carrying a sign against This Sort Of Thing, they're already too invested and when confronted with the truth will feel obligated to double down

Ideally, if the state is going to prosecute someone for getting an abortion they'd hopefully have a little more evidence than their athletic menstrual cycle records as proof the abortion happened.

So I took a stroll though the Mario Movie direct thread on gaming side and as I expected the same energy isn't being kept despite what was said otherwise here.

When Chris Pratt is exposed for transphobia, we can talk. Really riles them up that they don’t have some tweets or anything to truly be able to cancel him. His Twitter posts are as far from offensive as you can get.

And he still gets plenty of shit on Era and Twitter to the point where James Gunn had to step up. They just can't bear it that it hit someone they like

[Polident Hive]

Twitter is such a vital part of our democracy, yesterday it was dominated by some vtuber or something showing their face. To say nothing about limiting thoughts to 280 (from 140) characters. It’s a platform for glib shitposts. People try and treat it like it’s not. The idea of tweet threads is forcing a higher, or wordier, discourse on a platform not built for it.

This is what Twitter should be about. No more. No less.

User Banned (Permanently): Posting Inappropriate NSFW Image; Long History of Objectifying Sexist Commentary

Damn, Lelouch FUCKS

He always has.

This is an official poster btw:

MOD EDIT: NSFW content removed.

How NSFW was it

It's not like Trump is banned from all social media.  Aren't all his fans already following him on that truth social site?  Is he suddenly more charismatic and seductive on Twitter and that having a larger user-base is a danger?

Returning to Twatter makes him more dangerous because it allows his message to be amplified by all the left-wing blue check mark fuck-knuckles.

It's really not all that incredible.

This is the man who said slavery was a choice.
This is the man who bragged that his wife (Kim K) made him take 30 showers for dating biracial Amber Rose.
This is the same man who gave some white fashion designer "permission" to say nicca (shoutout to your clown ass for doing this shit too, Chris Rock)
This is the same man who wore a MAGA hat for years and went to the White House to publicly suck up to Trump at every opportunity.

Like, there comes a point where I'm looking at y'all goofy. I don't even follow Kanye West like that, but just knowing a little bit about this man and his breed of attention-grabbing bullshit over the last few years makes shit like this on brand. This is him. It's exactly who he's been for years. YEARS, y'all.

Just call him a uncle tom already

Did Kanye also give BDumbs a nicca pass?

Title: Florida Requires Teen Girl Athletes to Register their Menstual Cycle to Compete

https://twitter.com/jaxdotcom/status/1577448988470648833


Article is paywalled but this summary is sufficient

Someone else links another, non-paywalled article, and posts a giant chunk of it (excluding the first two paragraphs, this will be important later):

https://fortune.com/2022/10/04/florida-female-student-athletes-menstrual-history-concerns-abortion/

Historically, that has been done on paper forms. This fall, however, some districts—including Palm Beach, Broward, Hillsborough and Sarasota counties—will switch to a digital platform that's held by a third party. And in the post–Roe v. Wade world, that has many people concerned.

"I don't see why (school districts) need that access to that type of information," said Dr. Michael Haller, a pediatric endocrinologist based in Gainesville told the Palm Beach Post. "It sure as hell will give me pause to fill it out with my kid."
...
Abortion rights advocates have raised alarms about tracking a woman's menstrual history since the Supreme Court reversed Roe. And the sensitive information about minors will kept by a software company that has existed for just over one year. Aktivate, founded by former AOL CEO and News Corp. executive Jon Miller, will store the data; the company was launched last September.
...
Aktivate says all student information will be kept confidential. Critics note, however, that since the company is not run by a medical care provider, it is not protected by HIPAA laws, so it could be forced to turn over the data to the state if subpoenaed.

Non-paywall article

But yeah, persecuting all women to own the trans folks.

The usual suspects are OUTRAGED.

An moderator has doubts about the OP:

I'm starting to raise serious questions as to whether that is true, especially with news this inflammatory.

Shouldn't we be supplying a source that makes readily available the laws and facts which come along with this?

I provided non-paywall source in my first post.

Guess what was in the two paragraphs not included in Vonocourt's post?

I'm a little confused because the quote in the OP says 'have to', but in the article you link, before your quote, there's this:

Before they're allowed to take the field, female student athletes in Florida are asked about their menstrual history—and as that data increasingly moves to digital platforms, parents and doctors are expressing some grave concerns about the practice.



Asking questions such as when the student got their first period and when they had their last one isn't anything new in Florida. It's been an ongoing question for two decades, and it is optional.

So it sounds like it's an optional 20-year-old question. Still fucked, but it doesn't sound motivated by the current round of culture wars, and doesn't read like 'have to'.

Thread is locked like five minutes later; no mod closing post, nothing in the OP noting it's total clickbait bullshit by the forum's baseless shit-stirrer, and no chance of an actual discussion about why an athletic program might want menstrual cycles or concerns that go along with it.

This is your brain on Twatter folx. Just say no.

B-dubs did swing in to explain it all:

It turns out that the framing of this thread has nothing to do with any of the facts in any articles about this subject. Not only is this not new, but it is totally optional. The actual news here is that the information is now being submitted to an app. Here is a non-paywalled article on the issue:

Florida student athletes asked to report their menstrual history. Here are the questions

The relevant reporting:

For more than 20 years, the Florida State High School Athletic Association has asked female athletes to answer the following questions on their pre-participation form:

When was your first menstrual period?
When was your most recent menstrual period?
How much time do you usually have from the start of one period to
the start of another?
How many periods have you had in the last year?
What was the longest time between periods in the last year?
The questions are marked as optional.

And here is why this is an issue:

Although the questions are nothing new, athletes, their families, and their doctors are taking a closer look at where this information goes after the overturning of Roe v. Wade this summer by the U.S. Supreme Court.

With reproductive privacy and parental rights over children's data top of mind, both abortion rights advocates and concerned parents have raised alarms about the questions and and how they can be used.

Given the framing of the thread has nothing to do with any of the facts, this thread is being locked. In the future, please avoid using articles that you cannot access to source threads, please quote from any articles you are sourcing, and don't just use tweets.

It turns out the summary wasn't sufficient and neither was the thread title.

So on the upside there's an explanation; on the downside excel maintains threadmaking privileges to keep doing this.

Only someone who has never menstruated would fail to understand why that data might be of interest to medical and sports medicine practitioners.
