Its how they've operated for years now and they arent changing for anyone. The revenues have always been the number one point everything else is just a nice-to-have.

I think the easiest thing to do is the following but of course it will never happen. If a social media site/app is alerted to a racist tweet they ban the MAC address of the device sending the tweet until further review. This does two very important things. 1. You can create as many new IDs as you want but hey guess what you cant really change your MAC (i mean you can but are you really going to jump hoops for it) 2. Tag the user and open the profile for examination by an actual investigative agency and if the user wants access to the platform again they have to submit a form to their local police department asking the ban to be revoked (privately of course). I guarantee that if this ever comes to fruition people will leave their racism at the door very fast. The problem is that this kind of interaction generates a lot of traffic and these companies aren't going to do anything about it as long as they see their numbers go up.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/jan/27/gamestop-stock-market-retail-wall-street Its funny whats happening in the stock market right now and to think that something like GameStop is in the middle of all of this.

Yeah I think he does. Its not like we're languishing in the bottom half of the table nor has it been an easy season either so I cant see the board giving him the axe.

Once you go beyond 60 its really hard to come back down because it jitters for me haha. I run a 240 and it took me a while to get used to it.

After watching the match last night I think we are actually getting better but the real issues do exist at the back because towards the end of the game it really could have all gotten worse if Cavani finds a way to score. I think getting players back like Jota are just as crucial as fixing our defensive issues now because teams have become wise to the way we play and having someone who will run at defenses and link play is very important. Not sure what we will see in the Spurs game but I do hope Matip or Hendo are back for that one, the obvious preference being Matip.

https://www.wired.com/story/faces-of-the-riot-capitol-insurrection-facial-recognition/?utm_social-type=owned&mbid=social_twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_brand=wired "Late last week, a website called Faces of the Riot appeared online, showing nothing but a vast grid of more than 6,000 images of faces, each one tagged only with a string of characters associated with the Parler video in which it appeared. The site's creator tells WIRED that he used simple open source machine learning and facial recognition software to detect, extract, and deduplicate every face from the 827 videos that were posted to Parler from inside and outside the Capitol building on January 6, the day when radicalized Trump supporters stormed the building in a riot that resulted in five people's deaths. The creator of Faces of the Riot says his goal is to allow anyone to easily sort through the faces pulled from those videos to identify someone they may know or recognize who took part in the mob, or even to reference the collected faces against FBI wanted posters and send a tip to law enforcement if they spot someone." Whats really interesting is that the hacker didn't have to go to multiple sources to get the data.

This movie is simply superb for all the reasons you mentioned.

Sorry meant to post in there but here is good as well. I do expect this season to turn around soon. Keep in mind that we weren't all that stellar when the season started so I fully expect this to get over soon and things to start looking a bit better. Will that happen with this run of fixtures? It may because everyone is going to be busy during this period and the chances for trip-ups across the league is a lot higher. I dont know if the club will dip into the transfer market. If we say yes then who are we realistically bringing in? I think that's been beaten to death on here.

Apparently theres a whole album with covers even stuff from Van Halen. Quite a good listen if you want to see musicians playing from home and just recording for fun.

Dont make me go run that Voodoo Thread again.

Finally got around to watching WandaVision and its weird overall. You really hope they drop something by Ep 2 but then they just go back to what they were showing before. Hopefully it picks up soonish.

This comment is pretty apt for what this video is about. "When you watch this in Japan his fingers are blurred out."

Big news from Bethesda. I am looking forward to it.

https://www.hbo.com/30-coins Anyone seen this yet? Thinking of starting this weekend.

I think Covenant ended it all when David went to the homeworld and just wiped them all out. I do agree with the Xenomorph being done over and over again. We had Aliens with a mass colony and then it just spiraled downwards from there in the series with 20th Century trying to revive the series with an Alien5 which is currently in the writing phase I believe. Having said all that its one of the most iconic monsters in cinema and I think a show done without a mass horde of them might actually lend itself to some good TV if it can be paced right. Have you seen Raised by Wolves? If not I'd highly recommend it to see where Ridley's head is currently. I know I am not alone on this forum when I am eagerly waiting to see what Season 2 brings.

I think we'll end the winter transfer window with a defender. I know the manager has come out with a comment about fighting the conditions and maybe he knows something no one else does about injuries and when the recoveries will happen but I still think he's got his eye on someone and things are being worked out.

I wouldn't draw a line anywhere honestly. This is a player who has worked in a system that hasn't really benefited him and who are the fans to decide what Klopp and his coaching staff see and want. If they woke up and said they want Mustafi hell would break lose in the fan-base with comments like "I cant believe we've signed this garbage", etc etc. A few months later "You know that Mustafi's really come along and I put all my faith in Klopp". Color me shocked until the next episode.

Much much better than the album version.
-
I feel like theres very little you need to do with a Xenomorph based series as the creature itself just adds a level of scariness by its mere presence. I also wonder how Ridley feels after what I consider some batshit crazy awesomeness in Raised by Wolves.
-
Twitter wont ban him indefinitely they cant afford the loss of traction that he brings to their platform. People discussing him is a drop in the ocean compared to him tweeting the garbage he has over his tenure that has incited all kinds of horrors on the public of that country.

A pic I took at the start of the pandemic or thereabouts.
