I'm considering getting back into twitter. with the proviso that i would just curate the hell out of my feed so i didn't get anyone talking about trump or posting "another day on the hell site" etc.

I think I still have all my filters in place from the last election, which helps

not sure what people are saying about politics because i have every related word muted but there's some good fried plantain memes today

I dunno man... That sounds a bit like having your AA meeting in a liquor store. I don't think it can be done.

haha

you're right! one day at a time

God speed my friend :) If you pull it off I want you to show me how you did it!

(I quit twitter and it's... a great relief tbh)

It's estimated that the Gates foundation has saved 6 million lives, and this was a few years back. They've basically undone the holocaust. Yeah, I'm ok with calling him a hero, Scott.

incredible

loool

all that AND he gave the world clippy

Wow what a prick

Lol is that a reverse Godwin?

I haven’t been paying attention. Why are we supposed to be mad at Bill Gates now?

could have got more out

He apparently said he would support Trump over Warren

because no, i never want to save my documents to fucking OneDrive

Gates's robber baron era has given way to his mellow philanthropic era, rather like Andrew Carnegie, after he stopped shooting his workers and started giving away libraries.

bill gates has too much money, hope this helps mr. snrub; but otoh his successfully prosecuted (!) antitrust violations over bundling a shitty browser with his operating system do seem quaint in our era of feeling intense catharsis when a congresswoman speaks unusually sternly to one of the three guys who own the internet

Not exactly.

"'I’m not going to make political declarations,' Gates said. 'But I do think no matter what policy somebody has in mind … whoever I decide will have the more professional approach in the current situation, probably is the thing I will weigh the most. And I hope that the more professional candidate is an electable candidate.'"

I mean, the crux of what people are mad at him about is this:

"If I had to pay $20 billion, it’s fine,” Gates said. “But when you say I should pay $100 billion, then I’m starting to do a little math about what I have left over.”

Sorkin asked Gates if he’d consider sitting down with the Massachusetts senator.

“I’m not sure how open minded she is — or that she’d even be willing to sit down with somebody who has large amounts of money,” Gates said.

I’m starting to do a little math about what I have left over.

yr head iirc

jack's moving to africa next year to get his head together and just, like, jam and shit, y'know? really just feel it

Sad to be leaving the continent…for now. Africa will define the future (especially the bitcoin one!). Not sure where yet, but I’ll be living here for 3-6 months mid 2020. Grateful I was able to experience a small part. 🌍 pic.twitter.com/9VqgbhCXWd

This thread made me do a genuine real lol

I’m the manager of a Starbucks in Charlotte NC. I have informed my employees that they will be fired on the spot if I hear them say “Merry Christmas” to any customers. I’m doing it because I personally dislike conservative Christians.

ppl earnestly tagging starbucks in the replies

there's one guy who is canny enough to know that the dude doesn't actually work at starbucks but is mad that starbucks aren't doing something about his tweets.
