Twitter threads are a confusing mess to look at and usually I can't figure out OP was trying to convey by posting a link to 30 tweets that probably should have been a text post somewhere.

I just gave up railing against it and run it through threader.app or threadreaderapp.com.

That doesn't make it into something the original poster re-read after themselves as a whole before posting.

This weird contrived strawman scenario is an insult to people with disabilities.

So then you'd be in favor of Universal Healthcare, subsidies for gym memberships for low income individuals, stricter regulations against lying/misleading in fast food/junk food, and stricter regulations/penalties for pollution?

Yes to all of that, but it's tangential to the main topic here.

This is why it's basically illegal for businesses to ask someone to prove they need their service animal.

It's annoying as duck to 1.) have a disability in the first place and 2.) have every random person ever acuse you of lying about it for literally no reason.

> being able to skim off the top of second hand sales

Steam's current strategy of "no second hand sales" (but better sales and distribution instead) really beats anything NFT has to offer and doesn't require forcing a blockchain and mintinv fees into the scenario.

If they wanted people to be able to resell titles while taking a cut, they could easily facilitate that now. Why would Valve turn to NFTs to solve that problem?

True, but if you invented writing today and decided to record a 500 year old story, in that scenario are you really likely to be able to discern what the term flood meant back then, or if the word flood was even in the original story? Hundreds of years later people who weren't there are going to get lazy with the details.

>but there is no public reaction about the soviet union

There's literally non-stop public reaction against the Soviet Union, a country that stopped existing 30 years ago, especially in threads like this that are completely non-political. Case in point, you, congrats on being the first person who thinks watch connoisseurs are committing wronkthink by talking about watches.

You need a chrome/FF extension that adds to every comment an extra sentence like:

- "I disagree with Stalinist grain policies"

- "The Soviet Union murdered millions"

- "I think the Ukrainians are right to complain about the USSR"

- "They were too many gulags if you think about it"

- "But of the course, the Soviet Union was bad"

- "Stalin? No, I disavow him"

Then you don't have to derail a thread about watches to defend the Nazis and United States from the ghost of Stalin.

That's incentive for someone living in silicon valley to not do it, but outside of the hubs most of the United States has miniscule demand for tech workers (using that term very loosely), and the majority of the world would average out to something like "30k, but the job only exists if you live in the capital".

The scene with the mountains and the cloud was really cool. After that, there was some build up but kind of just went nowhere. "Here's some circles, now you can hallucinate the future" was overall a pretty underwhelming drift into fantasy.
