I think the act reflects more of taking an actual dog’s face and rubbing it through your crack, as opposed to it just reflecting a nose-sniff greeting; the apology makes more sense to me lol
nope, there are actually people who don’t have an inner monologue. they think with pictures, associations, and feelings but cannot hear themselves in their head.
Agree; this could all happen, yes. What my original comment was trying to convey—and your reply adds to—is that the variables and complexities required to be maintained by X/Musk to ensure that the lie they are defending are hugely disproportionate to other operations that can field similar results. It is also an incredibly high-risk operation for X/Musk, in that a collusion operation of this magnitude risks global repercussions. The required amount of time, effort and resources against politicians or reporters wouldn’t be worth X/Musk’s investment when simpler techniques can be executed at lower risk and require far less resources.
It really just comes down to a cost/benefit/risk analysis. Do we start fake-posting official accounts and risk massive legal and public fallout? Or do we pay Putin $X million to spin up a bunch of bots and push a particular message that could sway public opinion in a similar direction, with very little traceable evidence and virtually no risk to X/Musk?
What I’m trying to convey, in the face of your obnoxious sarcasm, is that while the administration would of course interfere in what should be an objective investigation, politicians and reporters have a wealth of powerful advocates in their support networks. The administration can only control the message/investigation of the SS. They cannot control the message or investigations of the victim’s support network, however hard they may try.
Let’s run a little scenario: a reporter’s post is doctored or posted completely outside of their control. Their boss calls them in:“Did you post this?”“No”“Yeap, treason!”
Please don’t confuse enthusiasm with critical thinking.
So, the victim watches their post publish. Acknowledges it’s been doctored. Attempts to edit. Receives some error. And shrugs it off and puts their phone away…? They’ll turn to the closest person with broader knowledge of IT and then it snowballs from there. And that timeline post-publishing would be sufficient evidence for reasonable doubt.
