@TruthSandwich@toad.social @jimstewartson And he's in a business that's all about people, not machines. Nor is he much of a machine person. He is skilled at learning buzzwords and stringing them together to sound like he knows what he's talking about.

@TruthSandwich@toad.social @jimstewartson Hah! Carnivore meat is not good to eat when compared to herbivore meat, at least with land animals.

@TruthSandwich@toad.social @jimstewartson Forms of it leave one without empathy, which is one definition of sociopathy.

@TruthSandwich@toad.social @fatsam I've always had that problem to some degree and one reason I always worked alone with the door shut.

Working in a restaurant, my brain has picked up skills I never imagined I could do. Orders come on, entrees shouted, along with other tasks, and today it feels like they go onto a stack. Years ago, I'd have been lost after three tasks. Now I can stack a pile of them and do them in sequence and optimize to do several in parallel, all the while synchronizing with others who have steaks on the broiler, lobster heating in the oven, and more. It's crazy in a restaurant and it's kind of fun now that it's not overwhelming. So an old dog can learn new tricks.

@TruthSandwich@toad.social @jimstewartson Yes. On the spectrum. Which he knew a long time ago.

@TruthSandwich@toad.social @jimstewartson I'm not disagreeing with you. I can easily see someone who lacks empathy AND is raised with an apartheid / white supremacy mindset turning out pretty monstrous.

@TruthSandwich@toad.social @jimstewartson But he does suffer from a disorder that he didn't disclose years ago to his investors. They are suing him.

@jimstewartson Figures. His mental illness leaves him devoid of empathy, which means he is a sociopath.

@SarahOestreich @GregSargent @mmasnick I find laughter and ridicule to be effective.

Also, "liberal outrage" is a broad measure with little meaning. Are we outraged at what was said or are we outraged that there's a person shitty enough to say it.

@TruthSandwich@toad.social Almost. Hmm.

@cappallo It's possible that not all such tweets are placed behind warnings immediately. Depends on how it was implemented. Rather than an output filter, there might be a task running, scanning and marking tweets. Not all have been marked and fresh tweets might take a while to be marked.

@TruthSandwich@toad.social Yup. I was going to include his absolutist quote but changed my mind.

So the term absolutist doesn't really mean absolutist, I guess.

@cappallo It's being widely reported. Did the tweet include a link to a Mastodon server?

It appears that the Mastodon migration is having a noticeable effect. Elmo's Twitter is now putting all tweets that contain links to Mastodon servers behind "sensitive content" warnings. I guess mentioning the competition doesn't meet Elmo's criteria for "free speech".

@Romston @scottgr60640 Such a deal! 🙂

@scottgr60640 @Romston I'm sure it worked fine.

Mark Meadows texted 34 Congress members about overturning the election. (Note: references in the article to "Marshall Law" should read Martial Law. There is no such thing as Marshall Law.)
