Ohh, jeez, you did already tell me...so what happens next? I mean you did already tell me to shut up, and then you reminded me that you told me to shut up. So, I don't know if you need to remind me that you reminded me but that's just a guess of what comes next.
On that note, I don't suppose you got that evidence about ballots in Pennsylvania that you were looking for, did you? Because if you did you should totally share it with the rest of us, including the president! I'm sure he'd just be thrilled to know, probably more than your son! Not to be rude but, what do you even do with that information if you found it? Are you going to go to the media, the police, or even the FBI with your information or you just going to show it to your son? Are you just going to rub it in his face and then gloat about it or is it just a passing argument between you and your favorite son that there might have been some inconsistencies in the election and you want to chat about it over a glass of wine by the fireplace? Or maybe I'm thinking about it all wrong and you're actually investigators working together undercover. Wouldn't that be quite a story? Two undercover agents, father and son working together to uncover the fraud in the election in Pennsylvania...but then at the end of the story you find out that the main character didn't really have a son the entire time! It could make a great book, or movie. And that movie, the soundtrack could be by none other than, you guessed it...Fleetwood Mac! Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies...
Don't forget to get back to me! You know, about the fraud and everything.
That's 51 billion in market value, that's stock price. That's nothing. Billion dollar companies do this all the time. Look at their 10y stock chart. They're exactly where they were a year ago. A year ago! This would have happened either way. Or even three years ago, what was the catalyst for losing the amount of cash they did then? Was Trump? Was it all the Trump supporters leaving Twitter? No it was common market factors like rumors. What about the fact that they've never been as valuable as they were in their first year of business? Was that also because of Trump or Trump supporters? Because it's never been so high oh, so it must have been because of a specific factor that you picked. People are just selling on the bad PR and as soon as that goes away it's going to get right back up To where it was, similar to the peaks and valleys of years before. In fact it would probably be a good time to buy oh, because this discount is going to be nice in a month or two when it goes back. The amount of trump supporters that are leaving Twitter are not enough to have a significant and long-term negative effect on their market value. It's only the rumors. It's awesome that you can repeat headlines that you heard and feel responsible for though! Take down Tesla next would you, I sold at 640 and I should have held on! Now it's over 800! I wish I would have hung on! Quick go! Do your magic!
Ok dad. Just don't ground me next...
Maybe the stylings of Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John McVie, Stevie Nicks, and Lindsey Buckingham also known as Fleetwood Mac could calm you down.
But seriously how long do you want to keep peddling the stuff to your kid? This is the kind of stuff that they remember and put you in a "retirement community" for. And I'd argue if you're not here for the memes, but here posting with the idea of bringing back concrete and undeniable information to prove something to "your son"...they're probably already at the age to be able to get the paperwork rolling. All I'm saying is, be careful!
Well, if your information is wrong and perpetuated by rumors (and not Fleetwood Mac's Rumours), yes I do!
Isn't that a damn good album though?
Yeah because I'm sure you know how a network infrastructure works. And I'm sure that you didn't fall for Facebook's nonsense and you haven't been a user for like 10 years. Try to poke holes in my argument, if you understood what they've taken from you and the fact that you're just giving it away for nothing, scratch that you giving it away to argue politics and to give away all your browsing data, you know that there's basically nothing you can do to cause them any problems for financial hardship unless you went and took down one of their server farms yourself. And even then, they'd have it back up and running in no time while there other locations carry the burden. So it might take 10 extra seconds to get back into your account, but it's really nothing that can't be resolved almost instantly. You're just pushing this information, that has no grounds in how their system works and peddling it because it sounds smart. It doesn't sound smart. It sounds like the same thing they say every time that somebody goes against the grain and a social media platform is the cause. "Let's take him down by leaving the platform!" Is always the first reaction as if that's going to have some kind of perfect. Let it go, fella. You lost and you're following terrible information. In more ways than one.
Dude, just let it go. Trump did. Just be your son's father and don't worry about proving him wrong on some message board.
Or maybe the conspiracy here is that you don't really have a son!
This run-on sentence is is right! Everything is a fraud!
No, it shouldn't. This isn't practical whatsoever if you're trying to cause them to lose revenue.
I keep seeing posts about people pushing the agenda to leave Facebook and other large companies and where I don't disagree with leaving those platforms most of the people that are pushing this think that these platforms are going to lose a substantial amount of money from people leaving or you're going to cost them a substantial amount of money from doing so is a serious over estimate of your status on a social media platform.
It will cause a MASSIVE increase in their server load.
Barely. Downloading your content is basically the equivalent of refreshing a couple pages. Most of your posts, if you make any posts are majority text. Oh wow, look out for a server load of text. But what about the pictures you ask? Well the majority of the pictures that you upload are compressed into a smaller file size. That means you're large, maybe estimating something like a 12 megapixel image is cut down to a small manageable PNG/JPEG file that is maybe a tenth of what your original upload was? And that's being generous. You're not going to be causing that much stress, thousands of people doing this all at once on top of the data that they send everywhere all over the world from all their data centers at the same time, you're not doing anything to increase their server load. Whoever made up this information on the spot or has cherry picked it from other sources and hasn't done their due diligence regarding networking. A handful of Trump supporters at the same time is just not going to affect it whatsoever.
Then leave FB with a final single post, where you explain that FB controls you, your thinking and attention (time is most precious) and that you don't consent.
And continue the stereotype that nobody leaves social media without explaining to everybody that they're leaving social media. The fact that you don't consent now is basically like buying a meal, eating everything, tipping really good, but now saying in your social circle that you didn't really enjoy it. The damage is done, the feedback was already useful, it's past the point of you doing any actual financial damage. Especially if you're in one of the main demographics, if you given them a main demographic in terms of your 18-35 life, they're already buying and selling this information constantly and this is literally the best information they can get. You've already consent to giving them every bit of your information, including where you are, who your friends are, your browsing information, your other app information from your phone, browsing information if your on desktop, and what you're doing in all these situations. Basically you blown it, they have everything. If you don't consent now, and you're trying to pretend that you don't consent now, congratulations you're a total hypocrite because you gave away the farm, and now you're trying to claim that you never did. If you want to go out with a bang, say that you were stupid to have given away your information in the first place and that everyone should do their research before letting new people onto social media platforms.. Because that's the only people you're ever going to save from consenting. By the way, consider the people you're speaking to, you know everyone else who's reading your message has already given away the farm. You're not doing anything positive. You're trying to make a statement after it's all said and done, no impact. If you really want to do damage, you would mess with the information that they're gathering like uploading bogus information and nonsense that they can't do anything with or if they do it's just a one-off and invaluable to their research.
This will encourage others to do the same
Barely. If you believe that you're going to do some kind of damage by leaving your Facebook account now because a couple of your friends did, I've got a bridge to sell you.
This will cost them more in loss of advertising revenue / impressions and user numbers
They've already done the math that it's going to take years for them to completely run through all of the users and start manageable decline. Not to mention the supposed to be 8 billion new internet users in the next 5 years. How many of those are going to sign up for Facebook or other social media platforms? Yeah, they still have a sizable amount of users to add to their already impressive numbers. If it ever becomes a problem though, they have other means to continue their life span. Before that they will easily sell off assets, server farms, shrink staff and all other appropriate actions that large companies take to salvage the business. They will most likely always exist, but will leverage their investments into other areas so that Facebook never Dies. A hand full of trump supporters leaving on the same day or the same month is not going to have a serious impact on their numbers.
Do whatever you want though, if you want to continue to listen to these posts as if they have done any research into how to cause Facebook trouble, by all means leave and convince yourself that this is something is that you have an effect on. But if you're taking this serious and you actually want to do any damage to Facebook, stay online and screw with your/their data. Do not leave. Deleting your account, or deactivating your account is only forward facing, meaning it deletes or removes your account from the Facebook circles, the inside Facebook circles that are given to the government and research agencies do not go away. You will just become a shadow profile and still exist. You can't do any damage to a company that you have no way to interact with. Because a small group of people leaving is not going to do the damage you think it will. If you're going to leave Facebook, leave it for yourself. Leave it because you value your privacy and the fact you don't need to rely on social media to feel good about yourself. It's important to leave, but do it for yourself and not because you think you're going to be causing someone or something on the other end damaged.
Cute idea though. Take em down, big guy!
This is so misguided. I don't know what kind of dent people think will result from a few closed accounts. You'd probably cost them more by writing ridiculous product reviews or wasting their time with support tickets. You make a bigger impact on the inside.
Slayer is total farts these days
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
I'm a computer man!
Sounds like your computer sucks which is totally on you, but what's wrong with the homos?
This is totally bananas, Parler doesn't have any effect on or anywhere near the popularity of Twitter. I doubt it would have any significant impact overall, maybe in America, but not on the global scale. Twitter is global, Parler... Not so much. I just saw that 2 in 10 people in America have a Twitter account, where as Saudi Arabia has 8 out of 10. That means they have a tenth of the population of America and yet we only have twice as many Twitter users. And that's just one country. I would bet that not even the one in 1,000 American Twitter users have a Parler account, or did. It's probably way less. Twitter's going to do what every other large company is going to do when it starts falling out of style, which is sell off assets or shrink their staff in order to keep their stock price high and their stock/stake-holders happy.
lol, you have no idea what you're talking about.
I can't understand why he wants kudos for a vaccine that nobody is going to take. Do you think it's just some bipartisan move to get people off his back?
I killed fitty men...
Can you even imagine Donald Trump wearing blue jeans, much less on a motorcycle?
