You should see the comments. Some of them are unironically encouraging OP to try to date the student. I'd post a link, but if OP had wanted you to have it, they would have provided it.

That job's already taken. The best they could hope for is a poor-man's version. Rich people hate it when you call them the "poor-man's version" of anything.

These "elites" everybody likes to go on are just the poor-man's useless eaters.

That there's a race-against-time movie I'd probably really like. Chris (Pine/Hemsworth/Farley) has to overcome impossible odds to stop the launch of the 12,000th satellite before the bad guy (Tim Curry of course) pushes the big red button.

I'm sure it'd be better than that Tom Cruise thing where all the rich people lived on a space station or whatever.

Has Hollywood contacted you yet?

Sure, wedge it into the mainstream to become tropes and stereotypes. You know what happens to tropes and stereotypes? They get mocked and satirized to the point they become a parody of themselves until they're eventually squeezed into quaint humoring ridicule while the next "community" tries to wedge its way into the mainstream.

Source: You don't see too much of that Hee-Haw any more, right? Because it's gone the way of the flappers.

I just now made a meme about that exact mindset based on a pretty profound comment someone on here made yesterday.

Don't hold your breath. They still haven't come up with a good explanation for who let the dogs out, and I've been waiting for that one for twenty years.

They willfully admit that open and uncensored information is adverse to the interests of the intelligence state and therefore too dangerous to permit. They specifically argue, if the modern system created by the partnership between the U.S. government and Big Tech is not retained, the national security of the United States is compromised. Let that sink in for a moment.

Well, if that's all it takes to "compromise" the national security of the United States, were they ever really any good at their jobs in the first place?

I was busy DOING OP'S JOB, and I discovered if you go back to that first guy's main profile it's a treasure trove of vax regret tales.

Did posting a source hurt you, OP?

For non-twitters, just change the "twitter.com" in the url to "nitter.net" and you can see the original tweet (and replies) without needing javascript or a twitter account.

Ex:

Before (ratchet): https://twitter.com/patriotRNusa/status/1503748001206046731

After (clank): https://nitter.net/patriotRNusa/status/1503748001206046731

I don't think that nonsense has any more veracity than this nonsense:

“Today, a year later, over 80 percent of white American adults have received at least one shot. Over 80% of black American adults have received at least one shot. Over 80 percent of Latino Americans have received at least one vaccine shot.”

Furthermore it's almost all image posts, again with the aforementioned and no actual content. The submissions statement, allegedly to alleviate the stupidity, plays no role in the upvote/downvote system, because it's often buried deep in the comments (as it's not stickied to the top of the comments). Furthermore, there seem to be no standards for the submission statement.

You won't find any argument here. I'm a fairly agreeable fella, but having to respond to practically every. single. post. with "source? link?" makes me come off as some kind of antagonistic detractor, when really I just find the headline or screenshot interesting, and would like to see it in its natural habitat with original comments.

Check out this one from a couple days ago where the headline turned out to be completely opposite of what the article was trying to convey!

I still haven't gotten to it---I discovered putlocker has about 300 zombie movies and I'm busy bingeing brains.

I saw it listed on Putlocker and just scrolled on by. Maybe I'll give it a look.

One thing I have to admire about a lot of them 4chan people is that they don't fall for every collection of words somebody just spews out without checking it out (except the guy in the meme, but he's in the minority on that thread).

I still haven't found a source for this guy's claim other than that his tweet started with the word "Report:" That is pretty official sounding, amirite?

Edit: if you don't have a twitter account, here's the nitter version.

If you think the headline's meant to be incendiary, try the article.

Yeah...maayyybe...but when you verified the accuracy of the screenshot (or took it yourself) before making this post, you already had the link, so it does seem like just a really simple next step to go ahead and include it in the post.

One weird thing I've noticed about this sub, is that people rarely seem to provide links. Are you sure this is a "conspiracy" sub and not just another "headline/screenshot circle-jerk" sub?

inb4 "oooh, Twitter---ree"! All you have to do is replace "twitter.com" with "nitter.net" and you can get to the same tweets (the real fun's usually in the replies!) with no need for javascript or a logged-in account.

ex:

before (yuck): https://twitter.com/KimDotcom/status/1514706700582154242

after (yum): https://nitter.net/KimDotcom/status/1514706700582154242

Hollywood is in California, but Pirate Bay is in Swedenland. If it was based in the US, you can bet yer hot-patootie they'da already sued them into dust by now.

If I remember right, New Zealand put Kim Dotcom in jail.

If you turn the upvote arrow the other way, it's a downvote!

Here's the tweet, and the article it's referencing. And as an extra bonus, here's the original writeup in the Emory student newspaper.

As always, if you're allergic to twitter (bc javascript, logins, idk) just change the "twitter.com" to "nitter.net" in the URL to see the tweet and comments without having to sign up for twitter,

EX:

before (ew, yuk): https://twitter.com/MaxBlumenthal/status/1514286635906580482

after (mmm, yay): https://nitter.net/MaxBlumenthal/status/1514286635906580482

Yeah, I like a good conspiracy as much as the next (biological) fella, but by this point I think if the American flag was reduced to nothing but a dot on a field of white, somebody would be all like, "It'S tHe dOT oF HoRus!"

...looking over a field of pure white sheep for slaughter or something, idk, I'm sane...
