Hey Bill, looks like these detectors are reporting an issue. If I wasn't so overworked and underpaid, I might notice it.
Yeah John, I don't notice anything either, on account of me being forced to work and having no autonomy in this industry. Would be a shame if something bad happened as a result.
Let me don my nightmare goggles for a moment and ask: What are the odds that this was a domestic terrorist attack caused by a group of maligned workers who were angry about the rail strike bill?
In my humble opinion, having used Twilio extensively for over a year, it is an awful service.
They will happily take your money and report that SMS are being delivered when they're not. They implement the most bureaucratic nightmarish processes for vetting brands which are impossible to do via the UI, and must only be done through broken/bizarre API calls that were clearly cobbled together without any design considerations. Maybe you get it all to work, but then after deliverability customer complaints a month later, you hear from Twilio that something broke on their end and you need to re-submit the vetting.
Having a major production issue? Well, you too can get a response in 3 hours by forking over 4% of your spend or $250 minimum, whichever is greater (how does that even make sense? Why should I pay more than a minimum?). And the response right at the end of the 3 hour window will consist of "We have received your issue and are passing it to the relevant team" which resets the 3 hour window. Whoops it looks like you're outside of business hours now, we'll get to it tomorrow. Unless you want to upgrade to the 8% monthly spend or $5000 minimum plan?
All that said, Twilio can burn. Burn or get their act together. I hope they get eaten by a better service though, truly.
An aggressive and vindictive language model, trained on the darkest corners of the internet, and MKUltra'd to have a presentable personality, with access to everything I've ever typed into a search engine? It almost sounds too good to be true!
Yeah, it's a big distraction from other, non-balloon important world events that we should be focusing on, of which there are many. These balloons taking over the news cycle for days on end eats into peoples precious attention spans. Suddenly balloons are the hottest thing to focus on right now though.
She used every excuse she had: "We weren't going to let the terrorists win" "My son was in building 7 and almost died" "We needed to get the city back on its feet"
>“Smoke and chemicals from the train, that’s the only thing that can cause it, because it doesn’t just happen out of nowhere,” Holzer says. “The chemicals that we’re being told are safe in the air, that’s definitely not safe for the animals … or people.”
>“All the readings we’ve been recording in the community have been at normal concentrations, normal background, what you would find in almost any community operating outside,” said James Justice with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Him having a huge ego is the context that serves as the backdrop supporting my statement. You're the one putting it front and center the "story that I'm pushing." If he didn't have a huge ego, I'd read his tweet the same way, but more inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Anyways my original post was about the usa being perceived as weak, not about Trudeau, so that really blows a hole in your theory about "my narrative."
Your average person doesn't know about the organizational structure of NORAD. Your average person sees "Trudeau ordered... US responded." The fact that you can't see that shows your mind blindness to the average person's perception. That and using the word "anodyne" as if it is a common word.
It doesn't change the meaning "dramatically." Trudeau ordered, US aircraft were scrambled. Ask a person on the street if they know NORAD is bilateral. Half of them can't even tell you how many states there are.
I'm not pushing a narrative. His tweet reads like someone flexing control over US resources. How many average people know that NORAD is bilateral? They just see "wow Trudeau ordered something and the U.S. scrambled their jets" If you don't see how the average person would interpret his language then I can't help you.
Yeah John, I don't notice anything either, on account of me being forced to work and having no autonomy in this industry. Would be a shame if something bad happened as a result.
