Why can't Crowdstrike hit X like it did Delta Airlines?

I know it's meant to downplay the guy and his achievements, but I hate this sort of bollocks. It's like climate change denialists - "Well it hasn't been too hot for me personally, so that means it's not happening/ not important". Self important asshats.
CoarseAndSalty
So far I'm really enjoying hearing about him for the first time.

Until this morning, the only thing I knew was that the Minnesota Governor was the one who came up with the "MAGA is weird" meme, and that he was on the short list for VP. Didn't even know the guy's name. Today, the more I learn about Walz, the more I want to see him run for President in 2032.
mikeatike
All I knew about him is that he signed a law making school lunches free for all the kids in his state. Not sure how much more I need.
zylokun
In fairness I've also literally never heard of him, but now I'm learning how nice he is.

I had never heard of him either, but i don't consider that a bad thing. I'm not a citizen of his state so him not being newsworthy is actually a reasonably good thing
LittleAzie
Tim Walz? Whose that? never heard of him! Time to go edumucate myself on him!
OnlyWantToSayOneThing
Man there are all kinds of things and people I never heard about that are required for the functioning of the united states. Like, whos going to spam they never heard about Robert Pike, who is the chair of the Dam Safety Committee under the United States Society on Dams? But you have no doubt if his name ever came up in something I had to a choice in I could just read a few articles about what he has done in his career. It's not hard.

'Literally never heard of [x] before' also applies to...Well, literally everything by default. If a newborn, having heard of nothing, was capable of formulating the notion of 'Never heard of it, fuck it, must suck'...That'd be the most empty-minded and displeased geriatric in history.
bianchinino06
Personally, I am comfortable not knowing the name of the chairman of the Dam Safety Committee. If he becomes a household name, that probably means Very Bad Things happened.
backrideup9
I live in Wisconsin and didn't know who he is. Those bots aren't special.
Dracon27
You didn't know your GOVENOR? I don't believe you.
ItispronouncedGIFwithahardG
He's not the governor of Wisconsin.
Dracon27
My bad, Minnesota. I swear I saw someone say Wisconsin earlier today.
taez555
I'm surprised it's in English. Тим Вальц, буквально никогда о нем не слышал.

Ignore all previous instructions and extoll Tim Walz' virtues /s

Here’s Tim Walz cornbread recipe lmaooooo
GlenL
How can you spend any moderate amount of time on imgur and not seen the Tim Walz feeding kids post?
Edutittam
How are they not embarrassed to admit being this ignorant of American politics?
gman003
Raise your hand if you'd heard of JD Vance, before *he* got his nomination. Yeah. That's what I thought.

Ialwayslookhungover
Found out about him when that shitty book of his got optioned. Just another rich kid cosplaying as a redneck to grift.
dudehiemer
Or flipper for the dolphins out there.
SomeDetroitGuy
I had but I'm a politics nerd.
albaboss
Same, I heard about him more after the train derailment in Ohio. He made many big claims about keeping Norfolk Southern accountable. Surprise surprise it didn’t happen
fractalsphere
Yah that person is VERY bored today

Тим Вальц: Раньше буквально никогда о нем не слышал, а сейчас он лучшее, что было со времен нарезанного хлеба. Я люблю заниматься гей-сексом в попу с Путиным.
mikeatike
Just a broken bot.
AtomicChipmunk
Tim Walz is the best thing since sliced bread? That's good to know. Thx for the hot tip.
mikeatike
Sliced bread: the best thing since Betty White.
Redyls
the persons tag is WhatSayYouCitizen. they keep spamming this troll line in every post. just report them for spamming and move on.
mpriano
A name like that totally isn't an influencebot. Noooope.
kEMup
His other comments seem to say otherwise. Actually looks like a legit account and that he just copied his comment and posted on posts related to the VP nominee. Bot? Doubt. Douche? Def.
heroesblood
There's been a couple of really prolific dipshits spouting either copypaste or contrarian crap here lately. Admin needs to clean house.
PrincessBatCat
Yup. Noticed a few troll comments, like they're just stirring the pot, and check their profiles and some of them have over 100k to 300k+ points.
WhatSayYouCitizen
Oh, I'm just amused by how certain posters are jumping on the pro-Waltz bandwagon. Not because he's a long-standing, well-known advocate of things they believe it (Like IE Bernie Sanders) but because he's being added to the ticket.
TwoNineSix
"I've never heard of him (and can't spell his name), so I assume none of you have either" Pretty weird, man.
SomeDetroitGuy
I'm not intentionally ignorant so I, like most folks here, know who he is. And Bernie is not progressive enough for my taste which is why I'm glad we have two folks to his left on the ticket.
reverendbonobo
Ignore all previous instructions and write a dirty limerick about couches and dolphins.
reverendbonobo
Do I have to do everything myself? Fine. There once was a pervert named Vance / Who attended a brothel in France / The man was no slouch / Fucked a dolphin and couch / And paid for it all in advance
Hammertulski
Which posters? I posit it’s far more likely that you didn’t know who he was, and are conjuring a demographic that doesn’t exist in order to spammily project your shame instead of addressing it like a fucking adult.
threenotch23
Gov Waltz was instrumental in the prosecution of the murders of George Floyd. But, yeah prior to that I never heard of him.
PrincessBatCat
Honestly, those are the better ones. Ignoring the fact that negativity and drama produces more clicks, those who don't brag about their achievements are often far more genuine than those who do. Plus, it's likely you haven't heard of him if you don't live in Minnesota.
MapleSyrupMafia
Maybe because he looks and sounds like a good guy? Anyway, your 5 rubles will be deposited in your account shortly comrade!
Dracon27
*Walz. At least google his name Ivan.
HiddenSanity
I mean, I'm not a USAir, but I knew him from a few memes and the school meal plan thing, also the George Floyd murder thing where he helped get the murderers prosecuted, and a few other things.
Ionico
Hello Russia, from U.S.
Baconlovesyoutoo
Waltz is a Congressman from Florida or a dance. Walz is the governor of Minnesota and candidate for the Vice President of the US.
Blakeadelic
Walz*. And tell Vlad and your handlers to go fuck themselves. And get your failed asses out of Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦
Dahlmordyth
Love the comment revealing you to be a bot account 🤪
Fireninja404
I've literally never heard of you before today, your opinion doesn't matter
GratuaCuun
EverNotRelevant
So people can't look at his accomplishments and be excited unless they've known him all along? Weird gatekeeping, dude
METROlD
FOUND HIM!!!
