Twitter is highly unlikely to be allowed to die any time soon. It's too useful of a propaganda tool.
It will be kept afloat by those interested in maintaining the existing propaganda networks on twitter. It's a very cheap asset when you view it in this light, and likely the primary reason for its current ownership structure. And those owners are more than wealthy enough to keep twitter afloat indefinitely, while ensuring that they have more and more control over it as twitter's money woes continue to pressure the staff.
For a better reference, see length of Japan staying in the war after nuclear bombs were dropped.
P.S. Yes, I can argue the case that bombs were just the official reason, and actual reason was USSR breaking neutrality and making successful landings from the West too. Does not adjust the analogy to analogy point.
Just how little control "shareholders" have when grand scale geopolitics are at stake was demonstrated very well in Germany in 2014, when it was dragged kicking and screaming into sanctions against Russia that hurt shareholders severely.
When things are about grand geopolitical designs, shareholders are told to suck it up and shut the fuck up.
From finnish point of view, where ambulance costs something like 20-30 Euro (rest paid by the government), you get not only the unit but trained personnel. These people can quickly assess the nature of your medical emergency and treat it on site when possible. Many smaller traumas or sudden bouts of illness benefit significantly from quick identification and application of correct treatment.
As a result, here you call an ambulance, and they'll often arrive, diagnose and treat the problem and leave you treated, because there's not even a need to visit the ER in the first place. The "mobile ICU" can handle the problem on site and leave patient in acceptable condition for him to be able to remain at home. At the same time if problem is actually serious, they can bypass the queue at the ER because they already performed medical triage and can provide ER doctors with relevant information about specifics of the problem.
Which is results in savings for the entire system as it becomes more efficient overall. People with problems that don't need a visit to ER do not use ER resources. People who need to be treated ASAP before they condition worsens, and costs a lot more money to treat get to go past the queue of "I am drunk, tripped and fell and I need a few stitches" people. Something very important in country with fully socialized medical system, where efficiency of medical treatment of everyone is a key factor to the entire system continuing to exist.
Trump seems to be both extremely successful in public sphere and private sphere. He is rich, pushed for presidency and appears to have a good and loyal family. Something even his arch nemesis admitted to openly in the debates.
If he's "fucked up", you must use really warped standards for people.
If you were to ever listen to "Donald", you'd know that his opinion is the exact opposite.
That's why lower social classes voted for him in droves. He was very consistent in the insistence that they don't want hand outs. They want opportunities. And his entire platform was built around providing them with opportunities that were taken away from them by globalism.
This is notably the traditional leftist answer. It's the modern left instead insists that they should buy votes with social handouts. Specifically because modern left is just as study suggests, well educated and lacking in empathy. They don't understand that poor people prefer having an opportunity to lift themselves out of their problems, rather than be lifted out by others in overwhelming majority. That's why most poor people look down on "wellfare queens" even more so than rich right wingers do. To them, it's not a caricature. It's the worst thing they or their children can realistically end up as.
The campaign of raw hatred being waged on the same people ever since on the left is exactly because tyrants with no empathy hate those that don't bend the knee to them.
Windows does in fact offer per application volume settings. They're behind a few clicks though. Nothing like just scrolling your mouse wheel in winamp.
Don't run the current w/e social BS winamp. Run the older fully offline versions. They never need to be updated. They just work and they don't need to ever go to the internet.
Capitalism is an economic system, not a system of governance. Communism on the other hand is both an economic system, and a system of governance by the simple necessity of totalitarian governmental control to achieve the economic "flattening" of population.
As a result, capitalism has no intrinsic interest to spy on people, unlike communism which needs to maintain control over people to maintain the system. The reason why capitalism ended up producing the systems for communist regimes and eventually migrated them to Western governments is in the fact that capitalism attempts to find the most economical way to meet any needs that can be profitable to meet.
That means that once the needs of communist and other totalitarian regimes are met, the know how becomes available to much less totalitarian regimes, including capitalist ones as essentially a surplus.
Unlikely. Miners care about cost of the rig + electricity vs returns. That's why they don't care about 1070 and higher grade cards all that much. It's the 1060s that get snapped up, as they are in the sweet spot.
Fun part. In your spiel, you misspelled "communism". This movement to spy on every citizen through backdoors of every kind imaginable started in China as a tool to maintain population control by their Communist Party about two decades ago. This funded a lot of research into knowhow, that was quickly put into use in China.
And once people in power realized just how easy it is to spy on everyone, for profit and/or control, it snowballed very quickly and since most of the ground work was already done, all you needed was to put the tech into essentially everything. But don't put the blame on capitalism for this. This is very much a communist initiative.
Being in any way relevant, factually correct and so on is utterly irrelevant in this aspect. All that matters is that it's yet another piece that temporarily reinforces the caricature that certain portion of the population has built in their minds about Trump, and that needs constant reinforcement as reality keeps fracturing this caricature.

Fun detail. Iranians are the main enemies of "ragheads", aka arabs. They're persians.
Not that you'd know.
It is in fact fairly common around here. Here in the Northern Europe, common sense still rules supreme over "cover my ass, always" attitude.
It's one of the main reasons why we can offer as wide of a social security net as we do in comparison to most of Western Europe.

Common definition.
So any game that doesn't have clear win conditions, or isn't well organised isn't actually a game?
When you have to redefine meanings of words to suit your narrative, you concede.
And his children being good people was brought by Clinton herself in debates as his best feature.

And preparing ICBMs to attack US, since MAD is in effect.
Geopolitics by definition is a game.
Just because stakes are high doesn't make it any less of one.
I'll take that bet. How much money are you willing to gift me on the bet of "Russian invasions of NATO"?
Read the wording of these stories. They don't know jack shit. They assume, because that's what they have been doing for a long time.
Read up on Jimmy Carter.
In reality, you get a single block in a city that has people. Not all that many either. Everything else is empty.
This is well documented.
You're forgetting the most important problem of all. How to make money off you.
Windows does in fact offer per application volume settings. They're behind a few clicks though. Nothing like just scrolling your mouse wheel in winamp.
To give this useless piece of crap of a player some marketing using a known brand that is still in heavy use?
Pretty sure there's a plug-in in winamp for almost every audio format in existence.

It's noteworthy because it's anti-Trump.
