    What????

     

    No.  

    Ya it’s not like twitter accounts have been banned/suspended on Covid related issues because there’s only a one sided liable opinion and any opinion that went against it were then labeled as “disinformation” 

     

    Twitter blocking a New York Post tweet about the Hunter Biden laptop a few months before the election which then turned out to be true 18 months later. 

     

    Its not like a satire account was banned for over a Man of the Year tweet

     

    Or an account that would post memes showing the hypocrisy of tweets which was mainly directed at one party (democrates) and said account was banned without notice and warning. They did retrieve their account a few days later.  

    To name a few

     

    You’re right, I must be mistaken though

    I think we should be pretty clear about a few things regarding this Elon Musk / Twitter situation.

     

    First, being a publicly traded company comes with significantly more oversight and regulations to follow i.e. more public accountability. That doesn't mean all publicly traded companies are better than privately traded companies, or vice versa. However, if people are genuinely concerned about Twitter's content moderation strategy and accountability, privatization does nothing to alleviate those concerns. Instead you transfer the onus of responsibility and accountability onto fewer individuals with less legal accountability obligations. It's befuddling that people are confident this is somehow a good thing for Free Speech as it is highly, highly debatable.

     

    Second, he has stated that his position is if something posted online is "in a gray area, it should probably be left." He is not saying "F it and say whatever the F you want." That's what morons like this Mike The Mad Scientist seem to think this all means. Somebody is still going to have to define that gray area is and moderate that gray area because we all know that you can't literally be allowed to say whatever you want, whenever you want, wherever you want. That is not and has not never been what Free Speech is.

     

    I don't have a dog in the race as I'm not a huge Twitter user most days, but people have developed some whacky narratives with all this.

    I don’t think anyone believes that Elon has this mentality of “f it just say whatever you want” or is rooting for that to happen. Believe me no one is rooting for that.
     

    There’s only one acceptable position on twitter, only one allowed opinion and anything that goes against the narrative, people are suspended or banned. This has to do with more about censorship’s than about free speech 

     

    I think if you watched the video I linked above, it should answer a lot of your questions.

    I literally gave you a rebuttal before correcting the grammar. :lol:

    To the question you had asked me sure but the grammar correction was a different conversation which is what I’m referring too

    You mean aside from calling a guy who rescued kids trapped in a cave "pedo guy" because he (rightly) refused Elon's crazy pants idea of some whackadoo experimental submarine?

     

    Nothing. Nothing at all.     ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

     

     

    "aisle"  :rolleyes:

    Lacks any rebuttal so they go after the grammar lol

    Twitter becomes private, runs by Elon’s rules….and then they will be then ones complaining about how it corrupts free speech. The irony.

    Rules that won’t be favored to one side of the isle now? Oh the horror

    Welcome back to HuskerBoard, huskerjock. 

     

    What's your fascination with Musk? Are you all for open internets?

    What’s not to like about Musk? Almost two months ago people cheered when Musk sent Starlink satellites to Ukraine & now people are losing their effing minds because he wants to buy Twitter. 
     

    Its quite funny watching all of the leftist who cheered for censorship lose their effing minds today because someone got tired of all the censor BS

    I mean it's kind of similar in that they both lose. At least in football it appears as though there's effort on the part of both players and coaches, even if it's not working. 

     

    In basketball Fred's team barely appears to try. They're one of the worst teams in the country. This is probably the erst team in program history, which is saying a lot. 

     

    Fred deserved to be fired and it's extremely obvious he has absolutely no chance to get things to work. This is a money saving move, plain and simple. 

    Effort or not they didn’t win games…that’s what matters

    Probably not the best time to have a leader as weak as Biden in the White House.

    Notice how he didn’t invade under the previous administration? Putin waited til there was a potato in office

  9. Juwan Howard got ejected last year for getting into a heated argument with the Marylands head coach, his players started a scene after the Rutgers game this year and now this. 
     

    Its pretty hypocritical of Howard to get upset with Greg Gard for taking a timeout with a late timeout when Howard has done the same thing in like 3-4 other games this year when he had a substantial lead & took timeouts under :40 seconds. Also Howard had two starters on the court doing a full court press against bench players during that time out…cmon man. 


    If you’re upset that the coach grabbed you well then smack him and not a different coach…makes no sense at all. First thing I thought of was Woody Hayes striking that Clemson player. I know it wasn’t a player Howard struck but again you still struck someone in the face. I think it’s hard to see Howard retained after striking someone in the face. 
     

    Also the Wiscy assistant doing the WWE “suck it” sign should probably get suspended a game

  10. According to Jay Foreman it was the worst kept secret in Lincoln about Adrian’s broken jaw
     

    When Adrian is entering weekly press conferences removing rubber bands out of his mouth, people are gonna start putting the puzzle pieces together. 
     

    This whole thing is stupid to begin with. Unwanted drama that people are trying to stir up

    Does anybody really care one way or the other? I can’t imagine a dumber thing to get worked about, doesn’t matter if they kept it the way it was or changed it. I honestly thought they had quit using the Herbie logo years ago. Oh well, carry on.

    I liked the old look but I don’t mind the new look either. 
     

    To be honest I wish he was holding up the shocker sign haha

    That's the thing.  It's not really used for white supremacy.  It was a joke on the internet that dumb people fell for.  Now we have to appease those dumb people.  Not altogether surprising.   It's the way of the world now.

    And those same people will not like your comment too lol

     

    How do you determine who’s a white supremacist if and when someone makes that hand gesture? I’ve seen several athletes and politicians make said hand gesture after 2017. They must be white supremacist right?

  13. I like the new look of the #1 but I still like the old look too. 

     

    It’s pretty ridiculous how far this has been taken from a bunch of dweebs on 4chan glamouring that the “ok” hand gesture is a symbol that white supremacist use and then the media running with it.

  14. 1. Lower the donation price for season tickets. 
     

    For the product they’ve provided is within the last 20 years especially the last 7 years, the price of donations should reflect the product on the field. 
     

    Reduce the price substantially, more fans will buy season tickets and we won’t be having this discussion when it gets close to week 0 again.
