Meta Mistake - Social Media Is Sucio

[Byrthnoth]

What he said is directly referring to the phone companies. He is implying that phone companies are requesting fake 2-factor codes to drive up Twitter's usage of their SMS API and subsequently generate nearly-pure profit. It isn't impossible, but is unlikely.

Look at this and try to figure out how often they would need to send SMSs to hit 60mil: https://www.twilio.com/sms/pricing/us

I'm going with he's making up bullshit excuses because if he actually had proof of that, he would file a slam dunk lawsuit for fraud.

Just took 60mil, divided it by .0079 and then by 365 and i'm at 21,000,000 requests per day, or roughly 1 million per hour. While possible I doubt people are hitting the 2FA auth 17,000 per minute/300 per second.

[Uzor]

Or he’s implying it’s a scam because he’s paying for something that in his mind should be free.

Regardless, phone 2FA is a security risk. Much better to use a software or hardware token.

This is the first example that I've seen of a Twitter Blue sub doing a long post and wow, that's pretty much an essay.

Adding context to the tweet itself, a NFT whale is pissed because he is no longer getting recognition for his spending because someone out-whaled him.

Edit: I see the preview doesn't show the whole post. You need a scroll bar to read the whole thing on Twitter.

Scott Adams, of Dilbert notoriety, used his podcast yesterday to say Black people don't appreciate all the help they get from whites and that white people are better off segregated from Blacks.

Can’t wait for that Dilbert game to come out and replace Hogwart’s Legacy as most controversial of 2023

[Outlaw]

Several media outlets drop Dilbert comic strip after creator's racist remarks.

Adams, who is White, repeatedly referred to people who are Black as members of a "hate group" or a "racist hate group" and said he would no longer "help Black Americans." He urged White people "to get the hell away from Black people."

On his video show last week, the 65 year old said he had been identifying as Black "because I like to be on the winning team," and that he used to help the Black community. Adams said the results of the Rasmussen poll changed his mind.

"It turns out that nearly half of that team doesn't think I'm okay to be white," he said, adding that he would re-identify as white. "I'm going to back off from being helpful to Black America because it doesn't seem like it pays off," he said. "I get called a racist. That's the only outcome. It makes no sense to help Black Americans if you're white. It's over. Don't even think it's worth trying."

Its a nice reminder to people who don't like things like "Stalin was a better than Churchill." What truly baffling and stupid comments actually look like.

[Melena]

Well, saying Stalin is better than Churchill is about as pants on head retarded as what Scott Adams said.

[Zealot]

Yeah that's a thing only literally retarded people would say. Like you have to have stale shit between your ears to think Stalin was in any capacity better in any metric. The only thing dumber would be to use Adams as an example of how saying that is right somehow.

Sure Trump is bad, but was he Teddy Roosevelt bad?

[Zealot]

Like I suppose the argument can be made if you want to attribute the entire sum of damage done by the British Empire to the 9 non-consecutive years where Churchill was in office, but even then it's pretty close considering not only the 30 years Stalin led Russia/ the USSR, but the long-lasting effects of his policies on the Russian Federation and satellite nations.

I mean, if I were a communist, I would probably hate Stalin more than almost anyone save Mao for taking the title of Communist while acting as a totalitarian dictator and souring the entire world on the concept of communism for a century, if not longer.

I simply just don't lift a finger when the Liberal mindrot declares "I chose to be black because I wanted to be on the winning team until I realized they hate whites." To be to "that is as retarded as your evaluation of Stalin". I don't have some love affair with Stalin either, but chose him deliberately because I expected this clear inability to process it.

[Zealot]

Yes it's clearly liberal mindrot at play here and not your refusal to explain yourself in any way despite it being brought up multiple times and excusing yourself from doing so by claiming that we simply won't understand.

Also either you had a stroke while typing that or you earnestly put forth that Scott Adams, outspoken Trump supporter and men's rights activist, is a liberal.

Unless I am joking or being sarcastic I actually use it correctly. Adherents of Liberalism and its philosophy. I just figured people think I am talking shit about those who get torn up when they see Sarah McLachlan come on to ask for donations to shivering puppies in kennels.

Not my fault American social discourse and educational institutions don't address the difference or perversion of English. Salt of the motherfucking Earth.
