I’m in the US and have never heard of such a thing. If you’re sick on vacation then that’s not eligible for sick leave.

Question: has anyone actually encountered a Nazi on Twitter first-hand? The way mainstream journalists go on about them, you’d think they were everywhere!

That's quite the contrast between the Japanese being known as feverish world travelers, and also borderline germaphobes. Who can blame them. Airports seem like ground zero for covid transmission, and who wants to be sick and quarantine

Crimethinc describing themselves as the ‘canary in the coal mine’ is hilarious. Social media started dying off when people weren’t allowed to voice their valid opinions. Those people were conservative, or more accurately not far-left enough

This man is having a legit meltdown. Go back to torturing monkeys to death and making your employee lives hell.

Interesting that Gettr, Parler and Gab aren't included in the ban list. The linktr.ee ban isn't a great idea, many artists use it to promote themselves on various non-SM platforms.

The UN, like world governments and agencies, relies heavily on journalists to propagate propaganda. You can clearly see how threatened legacy media is by Twitter being wrestled from their control. Hardly anyone buys newspaper anymore. Faceb

Should journalists be exempt from the rules of a privately owned website? They certainly think so.

Wasn’t Kiwifarms taken offline for doxxing and cyberstalking people only a few months ago? How is this any different?

‘Free speech is the backbone of our country and its democracy. Without it, we plunge into autocracy.’ I assume Eli had a similar set of posts for all the conservative voices silenced by Twitter bans over the years?

The FBI working with Twitter to censor the free speech of Americans is apparently not newsworthy enough for HN readers.

Getting the vegan message across is incredibly difficult. I don’t image many non-vegans would watch or be converted by this film. The two documentaries that made me go vegan were: - Forks Over Knives - Earthlings I’d recommend them to anyo

Hopefully Chris Cunningham is attached to it. He has all but vanished over the years but would be the ideal director.

I remember paying $100 for a 128MB Sony memory stick for my 1 megapixel digital camera in 2001. Adjusted for inflation, that would be $168 today.

The fake Kid Rock account on Gettr always gets a lot of attention, despite clearly not being Kid Rock. The thought of it being a Russian agent of disinformation makes me laugh though.

The inconvenient truth is that the push for spaying and neutering was simply to curb an exploding pet population that resulted in animals being put down. That’s it. America has a horrible history of pet ownership. I elected to leave my dogs

No need to overthink it. Inactive accounts get deleted and the username goes available. Simple.
