This is what Canadian and European rivals of the US should have been doing for some time, and should be doing now.

Exactly. I responded to somebody who said twitter was bought not to make money but as a propaganda tool.

Then a sequence of morons 'attacked' me. (I put attacked in quotation marks as it hardly counts as any kind of 'attack'.)

Dunno, I think Musk was forced to buy it, then he suggested it was going to be all sorts of things while massively cutting costs, before pivoting to giving Trump a quarter of a billion in order to get access to government.

I don't think there was any intention to buy twitter for propaganda, and I haven't seen any evidence that shows to what degree (if at all) it helped Trump get elected.

And what is an ai trained on reddit going to help with? Misinforming people on specialised topics, or misinforming people on current affairs?

Edit - I suppose you might be able to train an ai not to reply as per replies on reddit, dunno.

Reddit is pretty useless for getting any kind of advanced information on any topic. The impression I had of the US election based on it was completely out of line with reality, so in that case it couldn't be trusted as an accurate source of information on current affairs.

People are addicted to it, but you'd have to be pretty sad to pay for it.

Blocking ads on it is a trivial matter. It never made any money.

The question is why did anyone think it would ever be worth much at all.

Yeah it is other countries fault, lol.

Do you really want to carry your lifetime supply of honey around with you every time you move apartment?

What other foodstuffs are you going to buy your lifetime supply of? Dried goods? Tins? You could get yourself a winnebago and fill it with all your lifetime's worth of food or something, which would make lugging it all around with you forever easier. Just hope nobody nicks it.

His name is Trump. Russia completed sidelined America's military.

I'm not sure that the attention to detail I've witnessed displayed by my amazon delivery guy is what I'd want from my rocket's heat shield and nose cone guy to be honest.

(i.e. just bung them on anywhere before sprinting to the next rocket at the end of an 18 hour shift for minimum wages minus work deductions including water, air and toilet fees).

This might sound daft but I've traveled for years and literally found that mime, the more extravagant the better, works fine.
