> You agree she shot blazing hot fiery incendiary devices at immigrants using a flare gun Not a flare gun, a flare. She held it in her hand, it couldn't even be fired: https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=357&v=yFxAlx6hy2M&feature=yout...

Your pedantry misses the point. Even if all she did was sing happy birthday to the immigrants and then welcome them to Greece, Stainablesteel is still advocating for speech he doesn't like to be restrained. In hindsight, I should've realized that his post was unreliable and untrustworthy. I should not have used a proven liar as a source, and I won't do so again.

lol, lots of salty Twitter users in these comments It was a sewer long before Musk took over, that's why the previous owners were so happy to dump it on him, cash out and let him polish that turd

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

I suppose I need to add that I'm not talking (and don't care) about your position on Muskness, Xness, or anything else. I'm just responding to a pattern of unsubstantive/flamey/snarky comments in your account history. That's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Don't call "X" anything other than Twitter. It's like don't call "Meta" anything other than Facebook.

That doesn't make sense. Facebook was Facebook (the company)'s property. Now it's Meta's. Twitter (the product and company) were both renamed.

You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig.

You're the one who turned "not a gun, just a flare" into "shooting a flare gun" after he corrected it. His post is more trustworthy than yours.

Politicians, scientists, entrepreneurs, sharing thoughts, and a place for discussion with anons regarding those thoughts. Also memes.

I found a lot of sites that cater towards talking about politicians and science. These ones appear to be somewhat active: Politics / Politicians - https://debatepolitics.com/ - https://defendingthetruth.com/ - https://www.houseofpolitics.com/ - https://politicalhotwire.com/ - https://www.politicsforum.org/forum/ Science / Scientists - https://www.scienceforums.net/ - https://thescienceforum.org/ - https://www.physics…

Suddenly, no responses as soon as alternatives are provided. You disappoint me, ThalesX
