You know, historically speaking, it wasn't that long ago that the penalty for stealing a horse was a long drop with a short rope. Why should it be any different now, for stealing a car?

It shouldn't.

Because now we have electric chairs.

If you're in your car and someone tries to use force to take you out of it, there are a good number of states where you enjoy castle doctrine and are 100% in the right to fucking waste them.

That said I wish it were true even if you aren't in the car, e.g., they try to steal it out of your driveway. (It arguably is in Texas but it depends on the county whether the cops & DA will come after you for defending your car.)

Not really a sign of change for what people were thinking. Maybe a sign that they are no longer being banned for saying what they think or they have decided to stop self-censoring.

Almost as if the bots are gone. Were the bots programing the npcs? I have also suspected that the ddos botnets are also twitter bots. By having the bots pretend to be legitimate traffic it makes things look less suspicious when they ddos.

Yes. They created a forum of peer pressure, that npcs will mimic. With slight bot influence on both subject and material they manifested whatever water cooler talk they wanted. Artificial ai peers were put there, yes - but they also propelled commenters that aligned with them to the top, creating a self-govorning echo chamber and comments that could be counted on to stay with the messaging. The extreme left got megaphones while moderates, independents, and conservatives got silenced and buried.

This is going to be a very interesting scandal when it pops, because a lot of people are losing money. These people used twitter, and twitter sold their analytics for this purpose, to determine market forecasting. In business an improper market forecast is a disaster. This has the potential to cause another dot.com burst and will lead to regulation into silicone valley.

they really fucked up.

The comments on twitter are underrated. They are surprisingly based and the more you use Twitter and follow the right people it becomes more and more right wing. There is defintely a lot of cancer and bots and super viral stuff though

Seems more people are waking up.
