JayHost··on Twitter Considering 10,000-Character Limit for Tweets
How about the long form tweets get turned into pictures so no rules are broken and TLDR is obvious? Otherwise limit of 1 like pinned tweet.
JayHost··on Martin Shkreli indictment [pdf]
My first reaction to his arrest was joy and then I saw comments about him getting "beat up in jail" to put it lightly.

People who say those kinds of things are no better than him. Possibly worse.

The solution to dealing with people like him is to be able to separate them from society or fix the system so it can no longer be exploited so "easily".

He may have hurt a lot of people but it's been through proxy as far as we know. Like Drone strikes, if you can't see the damage you're doing you can't feel guilty about it.

Like Morgan on the Walking Dead. I do believe Martin is a good guy on the wrong path.

It's easy to come together to have shared hatred for this guy and it's hard to realize

I can do better as a human being with empathy towards someone who is broken; sad and probably doesn't understand why people hate him.

He's just being "successful" as it was always defined to him.

Like the Boston Bomber. Getting "Revenge" does not stop the perpetual cycle violence and misbehavior.

The Wolf of Wall Street was a glorification of this type of behavior and a lot of people saw Jordan in that movie as a "Hero"

JayHost··on Lawrence Lessig wants to run for president in an unconventional way
I made 500 phone calls for Mayday last year on their behalf.

This is not Win / Lose or Patriots vs Seahawks.

This is forcing the most important issue to be confronted on the big stage.

JayHost··on I Tried VR and It Was Just OK
I believe the DK2 is something like 3 models behind the Consumer version.

On DK2 website they ask users to wait to buy consumer. Best VR for me is Horror/360camera even on Cardboard.

It's just another waiting game for more "Apps". It's like buying a ps4 without any new NaughtyDog Titles.

JayHost··on Twitter’s Ill-Timed ‘Frat Party’
There is a big difference between a party themed "Corporate CEO's and HOES" (Penn State+) and people getting together to play beer pong. Beer pong's likability is analogous to Corn Hole. Anyone can do it. Almost anywhere.

The sign than reads "Twitter Frat House" is unnecessary.
