One of the best things about an Oculus Quest 2 is the Move app that tracks your activity. It mimics the app an independent dev made for the Quest, and squeezes that developer out of the market. They absorb other people’s ideas, and then squeeze them out. The lucky ones get bought out, but everything will be absorbed.

Opinion: Five former IRS commissioners: Biden’s proposal would create a fairer tax system. Opinion by Lawrence B. Gibbs, Fred T. Goldberg, Margaret M. Richardson, Charles O. Rossotti and John Koskinen
washingtonpost.com
The Treasury career staff estimates that the administration’s tax compliance initiatives would raise $700 billion in revenue over a decade. Some believe the revenue potential is substantially larger — two of us have conservatively estimated the possibility of raising twice as much: $1.4 trillion through investments such as those Biden has proposed. The significant revenue at stake is a byproduct of the magnitude of the tax gap, which costs the country and honest taxpayers 3 percent of gross domestic product annually in taxes that are owed but unpaid. Uncollected taxes today equal the total taxes paid by the lower 90 percent of individual taxpayers. The scope of the tax compliance problem means that comprehensive proposals to address it would reap substantial benefits.

That account, and the one just banninated, imply that he’s looking to his new social media site as a vehicle for backdooring his way back onto Twitter. He wants to be able to do this himself, though, rather than relying on minions. He doesn’t trust the minions.

Trumps tweet style is so unique. Unless he gets really good at masking it (which I doubt is within his capability), it’s going to be painfully obvious if he tries to sneak back on.
re: #154 The Pie Overlord!
Is that “significant global figure” a troubled person who can’t follow the rules we all follow, who was banned from Twitter for violating the TOS after being given far more chances than anyone else gets? If so, you’re in violation of the TOS, and should have your account locked.

I was looking at in in a way, like, “This account is merely reporting what is posted on the social media site ‘The Desk of Donald J. Trump’, it is not Trump himself, please leave this account alone” and then it would basically just retweet whatever lame shit he’s posting on his own page. So basically, an end-run around the ban.

And they were dumb enough to think it would work. Deep thinkers they are not.

In a primitive way, they have a point. If his site was open to posts by anyone except the tangerine wankmaggot himself, it might even have had a chance of working.

This is up there with Chuck Johnson’s wesearchr Twitter account tweeting “I am not Charles C. Johnson. I’m Guy Fox” several years back.
