Similar story here. I work away from home for months at a time and I got locked out of using it on all my devices. Fuck Netflix.

What was Elon Musk’s strategy for Twitter?
Well, he is kinda following a random message he got from an unknown person:
The three texts were sent on April 4, 2022. In the nearly 18 months since then, many of the decisions Musk made after he bought Twitter appear to have closely followed that road map, up to and including his ongoing attacks against the Anti-Defamation League, a nonprofit organization founded by Jewish Americans to counter discrimination.
The text messages described a series of actions Musk should take after he gained full control of the social media platform: “Step 1: Blame the platform for its users; Step 2: Coordinated pressure campaign; Step 3: Exodus of the Bluechecks; Step 4: Deplatforming.”
Seems he's killing it to get cheers and adulation from the far right.
Is it actually culture shock or is he just glad that it's so familiar?

The messages from the unknown sender were revealed in a court filing last year as evidence in a lawsuit Twitter brought against Musk after he tried to back out of buying it. The redacted documents were unearthed by The Chancery Daily, an independent legal publication covering proceedings before the Delaware Court of Chancery.
The wording of the texts matches the subtitles of the article, “The Battle of the Century: Here’s What Happens if Elon Musk Buys Twitter,” which had been published three days earlier on the right-wing website revolver.news.
He's following a stupid right wing plan to screw it up. It's all on purpose.
Airbnb, in a statement, said the legislation will not alleviate the housing crisis but instead will take money out of people's pockets, inflate the cost of accommodations for visitors and decrease tourism revenue.
My eyes rolled so hard they popped out of my head
Mmmmm, I can really taste the rich fuel-air mix. The 91 octane is divine.
“A thing about campaigns is sometimes you just do things for the lolz,” Rob Flaherty, a deputy Biden campaign manager, wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, of the decision to join Truth Social.
This guy knows what's up.
I have no idea, it's something to do with the Evangelion anime anime series. I read the wiki and I'm still confused. It's like the third global apocalypse or something.
Unverified reports of ‘40 babies beheaded’ in Israel-Hamas war inflame social media - NBC News
Marc Owen Jones, an associate professor of Middle East studies at Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Qatar who studies misinformation, told NBC News that he found that the source of the “40 babies beheaded” allegations largely stemmed from a viral Israeli news broadcast clip that did not specifically refer to the allegation.
Nicole Zedeck, a correspondent for the privately owned Israeli news outlet i24NEWS, said in the video that Israeli soldiers told her they’d found “babies, their heads cut off.” The video has been viewed more than 11 million times on X, according to its view counter. In another tweet, Zedeck wrote that soldiers told her they believe “40 babies/children were killed.”
“Somehow those two bits of information were connected, the story became ‘40 babies were beheaded,’ and in the British press today, about six or seven newspapers had it on their front pages,” Jones said.
An IDF spokesperson, Doron Spielman, told NBC News on Tuesday that he could not confirm i24NEWS’s report.
In it, CIA spokesman and podcast host Walter Trosin cites the claims of agency historians that the majority of the CIA’s clandestine activities in its history “bolstered” popularly elected governments.
“We should acknowledge, though, that this is, therefore, a really significant exception to that rule,” Trosin says of the 1953 coup.
CIA historian Brent Geary, appearing on the podcast, agrees.
“This is one of the exceptions to that,” Geary says.
I don't know, it really seems that most, if not all, coups brought down popularly elected governments.
Lewisville Texas? Oh man, stay away from the Barrow apartments. The apartments are infested with roaches, they shut down the water line like once a week to fix something that's broken, and management is pretty terrible all around. It wasn't that long ago that someone set fire to cars like once a month for 18 months and they did nothing to deal with it.
Lewisville in general is pretty sketchy. But if you have to go to Lewisville, take a car, public transit is pretty awful and drivers don't take too kindly to bicycles or motorcycles. The laws are pretty harsh in the whole state for drugs so don't even smoke weed.
While I can't recommend anything in Lewisville, Denton is pretty great. It's a college town with the University of North Texas being the heart of the community. I heard the community college there was pretty good. I didn't go myself but I did drive past it a few times and it looked decently funded.
As for finding a college on your own, Google is your friend. There are sites that compare schools' graduation rates, rank education based on majors, and which universities they feed into. I bet there's one that will suit your needs. Don't forget to separately search "[school name] crime" or something similar to have an idea as to what you'll need to watch out for while continuing your education.
Lastly, look for fun stuff to do. There are parks and hiking trails nearby and pretty good museums and music venues in Dallas. And I've gotta mention guns. Shooting ranges are easy to find, they're fun to go to, and usually staff are happy to help show people what to do and how to do it.
I found this interesting article when trying to understand why he's doing what he's doing with Twitter. What was Elon Musk’s strategy for Twitter? - NBC News
That pressure campaign is against the Anti Defamation League which Musk has been trying to do.
So I guess he's doing it all for far right adulation.
