    You are probably giving him too much credit. Even though you are right about all this, those are just unintended consequences off his actions. Consequently, twitter's importance is rapidly decreasing so people will probably move to chat services like whatsapp, signal, telegram etc but none of them are like twitter. Maybe Threads emerges as a clear winner. Who knows...

    That's exactly how I feel at the end of the whole discussion. Very anticlimactic.

    People will geek out for a little while, then go back to work and xbox. It does not affect their day to day lives, there will be no panic or craziness outside of a few loons on a vindication high. It will actually change very little other than the direction of a couple long running debates.

    I've been playing Titanfall 2 on pc for a few weeks now and it has actually ruined all other fps games for me. That game is so much fun (even when you are getting killed every 10 seconds lol) that I couldn't recommend it more to other fellow gamers out there. In-game mechanics are incredible and I get the dopamine rush every time I chain the movements before killing a pilot. The flow of the gameplay is great. I can't say I have played games that had the flow so on point like Titanfall.

    Some weapons are more suited for different playstyles than others so I wouldn't go with the "some weapons are OP" route because veteran players are crushing with the "underpowered" guns regularly.

    PS - You can get Titanfall2 on Origin for $5 now so go on and try the game because I'm not going back to COD's and similar titles. Also, it takes me 2mins to get into a game on PC even though I've seen some streamers waiting 10mins to get in on Xbox or PS.

    The Millennial generation is the largest in US history and as they reach their prime working and spending years, their impact on the economy is going to be huge.

    Millennials have come of age during a time of technological change, globalization and economic disruption. That’s given them a different set of behaviors and experiences than their parents.

    They have been slower to marry and move out on their own, and have shown different attitudes to ownership that have helped spawn what’s being called a “sharing economy.”

    They’re also the first generation of digital natives, and their affinity for technology helps shape how they shop. They are used to instant access to price comparisons, product information and peer reviews.

    Finally, they are dedicated to wellness, devoting time and money to exercising and eating right. Their active lifestyle influences trends in everything from food and drink to fashion.

    These are just some of the trends that will shape the new Millennial economy.

    I'd like to share with you my music project "Black Screens" which you guys might like because of the backstory -

    Black Screens released their first single, “Sweeter Than Ever”, which encapsulates a physical desire for the human touch, instead of being seduced by an ever-growing world bonding emotion with screens of technology in place of the intense emotions produced by the touch of another person’s body.

    “Black Screens came out as a question — What happens when you turn off your screen? The answer lies in self-reflection, the alienation of one’s self in the technology which sells you as a product, just so you could realize yourself buying another product. It represents the moment of contradiction and a moment when you start to see yourself in the black screen.”

    I'd love to hear your opinion and if you like it, feel free to read the short write up on the single - https://medium.com/@ThatCiceroGuy/black-screens-go-deep-with-sweeter-than-ever-142b6fb3615d
