The rate of growth has already slowed to about 30 million new users a year. At this rate, assuming 100% of the new accounts all become regular monthly users, it will only take Bluesky 20 years to match the current number of active users of X.Quote:

Uhhh... the majority of people using Bluesky are "leftists"... they are in favor of abortion, removing their own body parts, and don't believe in reproduction. Not sure the mentally ill lemmings of the "left" have thought long term about their reproductive viability to sustain their numbers. In 20 years, they'll be deceased or have not reproduced to foster their ideology. Why do you think they want Government in so many places to allow them to make decisions about YOUR children?Quote:

"Why finding the suspected CEO killer is harder than you might think"
Talk about a set-up in broad daylight... Just a couple funny pointers for you all from this article.
"It could take weeks to find and scrub through a massive array of video footage from all the places where the gunman may have traveled." - Current AI, recognition software, and computing power throughput - given a limited geographical location - it wouldn't take "weeks" - when looking for one specific individual.
"Some have portrayed the killer as a man enacting vigilante justice against a health care system they say values profits over patients’ lives, which could hinder some people’s motivation to report possible sightings of him." - The secret in this statement, though not false, presents the act/perpetrator in a positive light. It's sentence structure and delivery is designed to foster sympathy. Whether you regard it as such, or not, is not the issue... it's how it's designed to elicit that subconscious association.
"Tens of thousands of social media users mocked the death of the health insurance CEO and showed little sympathy after the killing. A post by UnitedHealthcare’s parent company mourning Thompson’s death received more than 82,000 reactions as of Friday; 76,000 of them were laughing emojis." - It's stating a fact, but again, how it's written - designed to allow you to feel okay about the killing of the individual - because, well, so many others do. People always feel "braver" in a group.
Now the fun stuff...
"An image of the suspect with his mask down – captured during a flirtatious moment with a hostel employee – is the best photo yet to help identify the suspect, authorities said. But contrary to popular belief, facial recognition software doesn’t always link a suspect’s face and identity, said Donnie Scott, CEO of IDEMIA Group, which specializes in facial recognition technology." - 1. He stayed at a Hostel 2. He interacted with real people. 3. Remember those thousands of evil Jan. 6 insurrectionists they tracked down? - Well finding one guy with more to go on, is a "lot harder" than you - the people - realize.
"Police are investigating a phone found in an alley the suspect ran through. But extracting data from a phone can be extremely difficult, depending on the model of the phone and the operating system." - I won't get into technical mishmash here, as their is some validity to this, but only for the lay-person... who thinks their information is "secure"... this is a false premise, and can be obtained. The Government has some software packages that will knock your socks off, and unless this is the most skilled, trained, and deadliest assassin on the planet - I can almost guarantee, he's not running the type of hardware/software to keep the NSA out.
"“We already have lots of forensic evidence, fingerprints, DNA evidence,” plus a “massive camera canvass” of the suspected shooter’s movements through the city, she said. But despite the plethora of evidence, finding the suspect is an arduous task, McCabe said." - Again, a true statement... but how it's designed and delivered in the article... setting people up so that this guy is never found.
If you want to really understand what I'm trying to say, read the whole article. The way it's structured is to give information, yes... but, in such a way that is designed to really imply, ehhhh.. do we really want to find him?
Subtle, yet made me chuckle this morning. Some may see it, others may not.
Also, before you call me crazy.. you may want to do some research yourself. Some examples:
Google - Societal manipulation through the written word (or some variant)
1. https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2021-01-13...-oxford-report
"Social media manipulation by political actors an industrial scale problem - Oxford report"
2. https://www.writerscookbook.com/medi...ge-manipulate/
"How the Media Uses Language to Manipulate You"
3. https://www.arcjournals.org/pdfs/ijsell/v3-i7/3.pdf
"Language Manipulation in Media"
Just a couple starting points.
The number of leftists who claim "This guy deserved to be assassinated" is honestly surprising to me.Quote:

This was never more highlighted than during the last 2 hurricanes that struck the Tampa area. 3 homes.. all had hurricane insurance.. 1 home got TRIPLE the amount that was needed to rebuild. One barely got enough to cover the repairs.. and one got nothing because their insurance company claimed it was caused by flooding (from the hurricane) and not the hurricane itself.
No one hates insurance more than I do.
But no one deserves to be assassinated on the street because they work for an insurance company.
Some of you fuckers need some morals in your life.
It is no different than Truth Social was for the right wingers. It'll fade away into LOL remember that stupid shit?Quote:

I have worked for one of this guy's competing insurance companies. I am going to type something up about medical insurance, a lot of which will apply to any insurance. Suffice it to say, most people don't know shit about insurance companies and how they work and it's the most regulated industry on the planet short of maybe nuclear power.
Insurance in and of itself is a shady fucking business, regardless.Quote:

We still don’t know (as I write this) the identity or motives of the criminal, but I find it alarming how many people on social media are so quick to say Brian Thompson deserved what happened.
Not directed at you in anyway nor is this some sort of virtue signaling. Just sharing my observations. It’s a symptom of the internal sickness of our crumbling society and the abandonment of our morals and principles.
