No ... sure I could click to login with my Google acct and then Elon has my email address.  Elon doesn't need my email address just like I dont need his X.  He just wants to send me ads.  It ain't free!

Why are you pushing X so hard lol. I also don’t have it bc most social media is garbage for your brain. The only thing I do feel left out in is wrestling discussions.

As said earlier I could sign in by simply hitting login and signing in with Google acct.  Likewise Elon could simply ACH me $1B but he ain't going to and neither am I.

Nice. I commend you on your dedication and fortitude.

I have an xwitter account - with fake name and fake email address that I've never posted a thing to. Created years ago in order to follow some wrestling team scores before they were readily available other places.

Almost never logged on to it, still have never posted anything with it.

If Elmo takes it away, as he's been prone to threaten xwitter users with (which is incredibly bad form, btw) - he can have it.

Can you tell me why you don't have X?  And I would be happy to post if you give me the reason

Just not for me. Not really a social media type.

brother I don't care about X as a matter of principle - I view it purely as a matter of utility.  It is a very common place for news to be shared.  I might think the most common.  I follow as many wrestling sources as I can find (combined with other interests like economics, regional food items, as well as lost cities).  It's pretty wild.  You can follow whatever you want, but for me its a news aggregator among my core interests

Because its a lousy arena for it, was fun with smaller crowds before out of bounds rule change but not a good fit after.

I really couldn't tell.  I though he was shaking his arm in a strange way - as if to try and shake off pain - but then the way he went down, seemed to be awkward regarding his legs.  and then he tapped the mat when he went down.  really not sure

From PSU's forum:

  Quote

Richie Figs hurts ankle vs Ashton Jackson of Purdue. Jackson took Figs down early. During action Figs hurt his lower leg/ankle. Figs used all of his injury time. Jackson choose neutral and took Figs down again. Figs was in to much pain and MFF out.
