Knock knock jokes appear to be in decline.

Knock knock jokes appear to be in decline.
Keen observation. How depressing.
Knock Knock jokes have declined at the same time as the rise of Putins aggressive foreign policy. Secret KGB post-soviet plot?
-
No - they declined with the arrival of the internet ie longer term.
I believe that's because our level of expectation for entertainment has risen.

Maybe it's also cuz knock knock jokes you need a person to do it with, so it doesn't mix well with social media. Memes are the new knock knock really

We could easily do knock knock jokes on internet... including this forum.

Big news!
Elon Musk is now the largest share holder of Twitter.
-
I guess he's not worried about it being supplanted by TruthSocial.

He'll probably try to put "users must be nice to Elon Musk" in the Twitter ToS.

It won’t be necessary.

It won’t be necessary.
That's true. TruthSocial was obviously just an attempt to milk investors after the insurrection donations dropped off. Once you have created an army of gullible idiots, you try and get every penny out of them.

It was before anyone knew that Elon Musk was going to buy Twitter.

So, the project would’ve never gone ahead if Musk bought Twitter months ago.

The best part of Elon Musk buying Twitter is that the left’s censorship of conservative view points is coming to an end.
-
Should the left like Musk for spearheading EV tech, or dislike him for being rich and having views like supporting convoy protests? Cognitive dissonance aaaaaahhhh.

1. Why are you referring to "the left" as if it's a monolithic group that thinks exactly alike about everything?
2. Why can't "the left" appreciate whatever EM has done for EV tech, while disagreeing with him about the truckers convoy - and even not holding being rich against him.
3. Do you suppose "the right" hates EM for spearheading EV Tech, while adoring him for his truckers convoy opinion and being rich?
We aren't all simplistic black/white, left/right and nothing in between thinkers.

Musk just renamed Twitter "Twidder".

how's that Trump alternate "TRUTH Social" shyteShow product coming along - you know... the one that was claimed would take Twitter down! C'mon Retro, don't be shy - here's your chance to pump up yet another failed Trump business venture!
as for Musk, yes he's now the major share-holder @9.2%... among such 'heavy-hitters' as Vanguard @8.8%, Morgan Stanley @8.4%, Blackrock @6.5%, etc.. But yes, please lay out the path for Musk to go up against such institutional investment firms to, as you presume, "cleanse" Twitter of all it's {presumed} progressive bias!
but hey now, why haven't such "Conservative leaning, free-speech posturing" stalwart apps such as Parler, Telegram, Gab, MeWe, Rumble, etc., brought down Twitter? What are they waiting for, hey! Again, you're such a moron!

Why do I care about Truth Social? I'm sure if they knew Musk was going to buy into Twitter they never would have launched it. Who cares? Regardless, Musk is now on the board of directors of Twitter, and look for him to increase his share over time. You people can't stand free speech huh? No more censoring stories detrimental to Democrats during elections times, like the way the Hunter Biden story was censored.

cause your boy is Trump... you're a Trumper - that's why you care about (yet another failed Trump business venture) TRUTH Social.
ya ya, Musk will shortly be on the Twitter board (now currently at 11... Musk will make it 12). By declaration, while on the board, Much can't own more than 14% of the Twitter shares. Your claims about twitter bias... that it censors Conservative positions/statements... is just the sour grapes of far-right nutters who have been rightly censored... and finally punted for their insanely misinforming, and/or hateful and/or racist statements/claims. Twitter certainly doesn't censor 'normal' Conservative people/positions - or perhaps you can showcase some of your claimed twitter bias against Conservatives - sure you can! We could have some fun here, hey!

Elon Musk is a thin-skinned weirdo who has used his wealth to shut down critics and is known for firing anyone who disagrees with him or points out the horrible safety record of his plants and "driverless" cars. The idea that this demented manchild cares about free speech is so absurd only the loser Musk fanboys would believe it.

Man, you were doing so well posting actual substance, until now. This diatribe is about as useless as a screen door on a submarine. It's funny that Elon Musk triggers you so badly.
-
There's already rumors that Musk will un-suspend The Babylon Bee's account. They were suspended on Twitter for posting satire.
-
Musk is being lobbied to make 2 significant changes.
1. End politically motivated algorithms.
2. Users must register and tweet using their real names, to help end abuse.

Musk isn't a majority controlling shareholder... and so long as he stays on the board, will never be - so your fevered aspirations are moot! As for your nattering over politically motivated algorithms... which you've already identified as "censoring Conservatives"... try this on for size, hey: Twitter algorithms amplify conservative content more than that of the political left, researchers find (https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/10/22/twitter-algorithm-right-leaning/)
Twitter researchers analyzed millions of 2020 tweets by elected officials in seven countries — Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Spain, Britain and United States — as well as posts that linked to political content from news outlets. Researchers relied on outside experts to determine what was right- or left-leaning rather than deciding for themselves.
“Our results reveal a remarkably consistent trend: In 6 out of 7 countries studied, the mainstream political right enjoys higher algorithmic amplification than the mainstream political left,” the researchers wrote in a 27-page report.

Amplifying content doesn't address the imbalance of those who get suspended vs who doesn't. Regardless, if you believe that these algorithms amplify conservative content, you should be in favour of eliminating them. I think we have something we can agree on.

Pure speculation. Regardless, what he's done for Ukraine, for EV research and development, EV battery research and development, and Space X research and development is immeasurable.

Pure speculation.
So who is dispensing the funds? Who has received a dime? The answer to both is "nobody".

Talk to the IRS. Until then your meaningless speculation is noted.
A terse regulatory filing in mid-February disclosed that Musk, who is currently worth $235 billion according to Bloomberg, had earmarked $5.7 billion worth of his Tesla shares for charity in late November. And yes, that’s the only detail Musk has provided about where the shares have gone: “To charity,” according to the bare-bones prose in the SEC’s disclosure form. No nonprofits have recently announced receiving any money from him, and Musk did not respond to several Fortune requests for comment.
Having worked in the philanthropic sector, big donors usually love to have their names attached to large gifts for the good publicity. The idea that a fame-**** like Elon would pass up an opportunity for self-promotion is hard to believe.

It’s not hard to believe. As bad as cancel culture is right now, and group that takes money from Musk will probably get targeted. Regardless, you’re just spewing more speculation. I get it, you don’t like him.

This website has been loaded with anti-conservative bigotry since its formation. It is also one of its raison d'etre. I know some right-wing posters on the other board that were denied registration on here cuz the admin didn't like them. But leftwing trolls are allowed to post here with impunity, and the conservatives are bullied and harassed until they get fed up and leave. RIP SirJohn and TimG.
Many of the lefties claim moral superiority and then treat their fellow man like garbage because, well, they just don't like their political opinions. Giant phony hypocrities. Where's omni at? That giant bigot.
Shout-out to the bleeding hearts who are actually not jerks.
Definition of bigot:
- "stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own."
- "A bigot is a person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities that are different from their own. Mostly, the person's opinions are based on prejudice. For example, an outspoken member of a political party who blocks those with opposing views, would be a prime example of a ‘’bigot’’."
- "the fact of having and expressing strong, unreasonable beliefs and disliking other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life:"
- "obstinate or intolerant devotion to one's own opinions and prejudices"
-

what a stooge Musk is! Twitter San Fran follows a model of sub-leasing floors allowing for maximum flexibility... even expanding floor space of late in the face of a hybrid work model where most Twitter employees choose to work from home - it's certainly not losing money with a sub-lease strategy.

What happened to you?
I logged about 300Km in 2021 and haven't run at all in 2022 because I've got a tweaked groin on one side and what seems to be a pulled/torn calf muscle on the other side. Getting old suuuuucks.

I thought my foot was f***cked. By the time I got to a physio she said I just had an inflamed... something.
By then the baby was here and winter. So I am slowly getting back.
Amazingly, the physio said I was in good shape structurally. News to me.

My experiences with physios have led me to conclude that physios are pretty useless for managing the tweaks and niggling injuries that come with age. Or maybe it's a me problem in that I'm lazy and if someone hands me a list of exercises or stretches, I'm more likely to toss it in the bin than follow it.

1. Well, she seems smart and cute too. Not that I think of my medical professionals that way. Or that I try not to. Yeah, too young. Also skinny. Sorry, where were we ? Oh yeah, her deep knowledge and training has already alleviated that one complaint I had.
2. Yeah I am barely following and still it's helping. Dude, follow up. Maybe I care more than I used to because I have to live to see my kids turn 30...
-
I had good luck with a physio who dealt with sports injuries. He was a hockey team’s physio, so he saw all sorts of injuries all the time and knew the proper ways to heal injuries.
Otherwise, not so much…. I think many physios simply don’t have enough experience dealing with injuries. It’s like they’re consulting a book.

Mine seems very knowledgeable and confident, maybe I lucked out with my first time.

*Breaking News*
Musk to buy Twitter outright!
His statement.
I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy.
However, since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form. Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company.

Anyhoo just leaving this here: Claim of anti-conservative bias by social media firms is baseless, report finds (https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/feb/01/facebook-youtube-twitter-anti-conservative-claims-baseless-report-finds)
Facebook reportedly skirted its own rules to protect conservatives from disciplinary measures

Facebook reportedly choked traffic for left-leaning news sites

Yes, I've already read the left wing "studies" claiming that Twitter AcTUaLlY isn't bias! LOL. They say the same thing about the mainstream media. Good one.

Or being a "free market conservative" cheering for monopoly capture.
Lol, you guys are priceless!

Where did anyone say Musk shouldn't be able to buy Twitter? You're absolutely **** at this.

That's not what the meme is referring to. Keep whining though, it's delicious!

Made up "facts" by your leftwing groups aren't facts. It's like your made up facts regarding the increase in violent crime in the United States or that only rich people care about inflation. You live in an alternate reality from everybody else. It's truly bizarre.

Who here said that he shouldn’t buy Twitter?
You’re arguing against ghosts.

Sure buddy. Wake me up when Twitter censors a negative story of Donald Trump's son during the middle of a presidential election, published by the 3rd largest and one of the oldest newspapers in America.

I just provided you with evidence.

LOl, no, you didn't.
It's a fact to say that Twitter temporarily restricted the NYPost article on Hunter's laptop, but your claim they were motivated to do so by left wing bias is a matter of opinion, not fact.

Yes I did. They purposely censored the story. For MONTHS.

This is, as expected, factually inaccurate, a gross oversimplification of things and not evidence of left wing bias. Too bad, so sad.

Anyway, I'll bet the price of Elon's hair transplants that this takeover bid is withdrawn by the end of next week and he dumps his shares.

That Musk ends up buying Twitter or not. Loser leaves the board, no alts, no sock puppets. Gonzo.
-
Musk thinks Twitter should be even more of a cesspool than it is already? LOL ok. No one needs to use it, whether it’s a platform for woke libtards, or a platform for Nazi f*ck heads who get to spread vile hate.
Either way, it’s a private company and private platform who can set their own terms of use. If Musk takes it over and hands it to Nazi sympathizers like Shady, then that’s what the new Twitter will be. Who cares?
-
Who cares ?
Not me ... but
All cyberspace is corporate controlled and nobody is suggesting otherwise.
The good owners and the bad owners are still allowed to boot someone at a whim and it does happen

No, it's just not that important to me. Besides, it could take months, and several offers before he ends up buying it.

Shady thinks otherwise. He thinks his 1st amendment is being infringed upon. Musk is his free speech saviour.

It’s more about fairness than freedom of speech. If everyone was treated equally, it wouldn’t be an issue.

So what?
you're right Retro - in the face of a share price decline, Musk offering $54.20 per share means little when your boy's want to secure freeeedum for {right-wing/alt-right} twitter users is his driving motivation! Carry on!

Exactly. Not to mention that you’re on the side of Saudi Arabia and fossil fuels. One of the Saudi share holders has rejected the offer, as he’s concerned that Musk would have too much influence of electric vehicles over oil and gas. Good on you for supporting the Saudi government buddy! 😂

Why would a private company need to be fair?

So private companies don’t need to be fair? So different seating arrangements at a restaurant for Blacks is totally cool with you huh? What about different prices? iTS a pRiVatE ComPAnY!
-
Btw.
“I’m going to leave Twitter if Elon Musk takes over” is the new “I’m going to move to Canada if Trump wins.”
-

Not in the way you seem to think they do.

Do you know what a “protected class” is? Hint: being a whiny b*tch like you is NOT a protected class. Being black IS a protected class.
This means a company CAN discriminate against a whiny b*tch like yourself but CANNOT discriminate based upon skin colour.
-
Elon doesn't seem to feel as strongly about free speech when it involves Tesla workers discussing unionization.
-
Looks to me that he's perfectly comfortable with private companies having the choice to react unfavourably to someone else's speech.

Protected class is subjective and is anything people decide it can be. It’s clear that you support discrimination based on political beliefs. Shame on you.

Are you making stuff up because you don't know what you're talking about again?
The Canada Human Rights Act is explicit, not subjective, when defining protected classes. But it's nice to see someone who calls people libtards hate himself so much for his discrimination of others.
Protected classes in Canada: "Race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, family status, genetic characteristics, disability, and conviction for an offence for which a pardon has been granted or in respect of which a record suspension has been ordered."

Of course it’s subjective. It’s a list that’s been put together based on the opinions of the people at the time that wrote the law. It’s good to see you as well finally taking the veil off and supporting discrimination based on politics. Good on ya!
-
Ah...all laws are subjective. Good argument. Makes a lot of sense. Way to go.
I also accept your groveling apology for calling people libtards.

Keep supporting discrimination based on politics. It’s eye opening.

I don't. I called you an idiot when you used the term "libtard". I can't wipe your but for you.

How is it subjective when it is listed in legislation?? That’s just fuckin’ dumb.

Yes, I support a business being allowed to discriminate on anything legally allowed.
If they don’t like the fact you spout white supremacist beliefs, they should be allowed to discriminate.
If they discriminate because you are a woman, then they’re not allowed.
Is this really that difficult of a concept to understand?
-

Yeah, what's wrong with that?
Anyway, Twitter and facebook don't discriminate against conservatives, it's just that conservatives are more likely to violate the terms of service. Twitter and Facebook actually love conservatives because right wingers are an endless well of engagement and rage clicks.

It’s the terms of service that is the problem, and those who enforce it. For example, conservatives were banned for discussing the fact that covid may have come from a lab. They’ve also been banned for insisting that there are biological differences between men and women. Even former Twitter boss Jack Dorsey is criticizing Twitters anti-speech platform and the board.

Yes, fake news and misinformation are a violation of the ToS. If you can't play by the rules, go to Gab or Parler.
But again, Twitter and Facebook have both admitted their algorithms amplify right-wing content, but that doesn't fit your victim narrartive.

The lab leak isn’t fake news. Nor are the biological differences between men and women. You’ve made my point.

People were also banned for sharing the real Hunter Biden story.

1. The lab leak is fake news
2. Prove that anyone has been banned for stating there are biological differences between men and women. The fact that there are tons of TERFs on the platform says otherwise.

No, the lab leak is not fake news.
Right now the Babylon Bee, a satirical site, is banned for exactly that. Luckily your nazi type censorship days are coming to an end.

False.

1. A private company enforcing its terms of service is not analogous to repressive state censorship.
2. You've made it clear you actually support repressive state censorship (including banning books, restricting speech in classrooms) so STFU
-
Also 'lab leak' doesn't differentiate between:
-accidental lab leak, which is unknowable but guessable via looking at the virus
-on purpose, which is mostly crazy people talking crazy talk

Agreed. I've always been on the side of accidental. I don't think anyone can argue that it was on purpose. It just doesn't make sense, especially with what's going on in China now.

no - it was given a 12 hour suspension... and could return whenever it chooses if it simply deletes an offending tweet; one that awarded a 'Man of the Year' award to a transgender official in the Biden admin. It seems your treasured "Conservative parody sight" thought it prudent to offer the award in response to a media outlet announcing the {transgender} official as one of its 'Women of the Year'.

The offending tweet? They're satire? Regardless, the "woman" in question is a biological man. That's a fact.
