      I give my brother shit because he’s far left progressive but still spends all day on Xitter. His excuse is that Xitter isnt making a profit so he’s hurting Musk a tiny bit every time he uses it…Yeah, I didnt buy it either.

        Forget profit, it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that choosing to stay on twitter only legitimizes it.

        Have a counterargument to give him. He’s the product, and his service is giving fascist trolls someone to argue with, and fellow “leftists” someone to come to X to see. He’s encouraging other people to use the site, and they’re watching ads and buying checkmarks.

        Also he’s encouraging governments and politicians to stay, and letting the media be controlled by a fascist.

        It would be a lot less profitable if the site was only bots. He’s subsidizing the bots.

      Calves are an eyebrow raiser? Lordy. What’s the world coming to when we can’t openly discuss nice calves. When I say I love legs, I mean the whole leg.

    See, I’ve seen this do the rounds, and it always loses me before Saddam, because let’s be honest, if you’re into knees you’re clearly more respectable than being super into ass. Weirder, for sure, but more respectable, in an old timey, strangely prudish way.
