It's $1.99/month or $16.99/yr, which is waaayyy less than $3/month. Less than half that, if paid annually.

That doesn't answer the question...

Google search "Twitter Hate Speech". Everyone and their mom has been reporting on the increase in hate speech at Twitter since Musk took over. Of course, he waits to sue until a small non-profit comes along, albeit one with a stellar reputation, whose resources he can exhaust in courts, which will count as a "win" in the eyes of his worshipers.

I can see it now, "Musk defeats liberal beta SJW cucks, a decisive blow for free speech."

In other words, everyone, including your favorite bands, likes things the way they are. Things will not change unless the fans take a stand, which means things will never change.

So, UDP just sends it out there and anyone can intercept it?

Good advice but too smug for my taste. I give this post a C- and a downvote.

Find a copy of a book called Burnout Society by Byung Chul Han. It isn't about ADHD directly, but there are parts of the book that will be felt hardest by the neuro-divergent.

cars gotta get married to a motorcycle, have a couple of kids, and start going to church. it can screw around with other cars when it goes out of town on business, but that's it. no matter how sexy the truck across the street is, you can't give in. just think of what the scandal would do to your family. so what if the truck sits in the driveway with its hood up all day? there's nothing wrong with appreciating a good engine. every car does that. oh my, is that a V6? no.. it's a V8. praise god. you've had an inline-4 before, and that was fun. can you even imagine being with a V8? could you even handle one? oooh, what are you doing? why'd you have to stray from 2-strokes? ever since that time in San Francisco, you've been obsessed with 4-strokes. more and more, you're driving is erratic. at this rate, an accident is a guarantee, if you don't straighten your life out. but... 32 valves, 8 cylinders, 5 liters, and two 4" exhausts. are you so weak? what about your motorcycle, your kids? oh, sure, the kids are almost out of high school, and once they're off to college... well, you've done your duty to them, right? and what then? can you really be expected to spend the rest of your days with the motorcycle? no. no way. and, anyway, they'll probably understand. maybe you two can even be friends. after all, you are friends... right? after all these years, you are at least that... so, it's settled. two more years. the trikes will both be off, and you'll be hopping on 8 cylinders of pure american muscle. oh, the waiting is torture! but, nothing can be done but wait. now, shape up, snap out of it, and be careful, or you may never drive straight again!

not to be a dick, but good riddance to anyone implying meta isn't an unethical, monster of a corporation that is defined by it's opportunism, serves only it's own interests, and has forfeited any and all good faith it may once have had. trust them at your own peril, and go back to reddit.

three hours ago, central intelligence discovered that, sometime between 0230 and 0415 this morning, a rogue russian sleeper cell, acting in the president's secret service, was activated and instructed to abduct the commander-in-chief. he was successful, and the president is missing. for the last 3 hours, we've been searching, and coming up with nothing. that is, until roughly 5 minutes ago, when a gps unit hidden in his suitcase began transmitting. we have pinpointed the location of the suitcase. it appears to be coming from a decommissioned missile silo in the nevada desert, located 150 miles west of the hoover dam. we know not whether the president is still with the suitcase, but he is no longer our priority. the suitcase, which is a terminal that offers it's user complete access to every active nuclear warhead in the country, is our primary concern. as you can imagine, the president's life is inconsequential and you will waste no time or energy to secure him. your mission is to infiltrate the decommissioned silo and retrieve the suitcase terminal. all rules of engagement are suspended, any loss of life south of a nuclear holocaust is authorized, civilian or otherwise. the case must be retrieved at all costs. we're counting on you. daddy.
