That's why he has a dog that keeps biting everyone.

Hey thanks! I let the code rode for like a week so I didn't Holla back until I got onto it. I think you followed me there already.

Twitter banned me for no discernible reason and I couldn't manage to make another account so it has spared me from debate clubs. Mysterious are His ways!

Honestly the jank is worse. I experience lots of lag or the app sending me a mile upwards, I got banned for absolutely no reason - I wasn't even beefing with anyone - and there hasn't been any follow back from X since I appealed their decision with their support, users are rate limited now so you can no longer search users' tweets or their likes, media and replies.

I tried to make a new account but couldn't get it to work. It might work now, but at least I can read tweets while banned.

I don't have the problem of No Body on Blusky since some of my favorite twitter people quit the service formerly known as Twitter and hang out on Blusky instead. So just from my POV there are people to talk to there. That's true of Twitter for the moment as well but the attrition is real and visible. I mostly just view specific users to see whether there's any updates.

I only use Blusky on my phone so I can't comment on the desktop UX but to me Twitter is weirdly laggy making, e.g., long threads impossible to read without constant reloading and losing your place.

Really my problems with Twitter are the banal ones, the ghost towning, degradation of latency and UX and threats of further downgrades. The political aspects of the enshittefication haven't been enough to stop being a habitual user. I remember taking a month off because I was too compulsive at Twitter, but I am no longer under any threat of that.

I read that and The Art of War as a teen just to see them for myself. Tbh the reputation of AoW is kinda incredible. It is an incredible amount of not a business guide. "Hey remember logistics? Don't announce what you're gonna do. This is an actual field of expertise, btw, and the basics really matter."

The pet-what combo?

Motivation is having fun? That's a cover for something. Luckily for society, that green owl is a narc.

I've got the opposite attitude. If you read it you'll know what all the self-help authors are ripping off (and a ton of contemporary non-fiction is functionally self-help) and you can be inoculated against the bullshit. If you have a critical, reflective attitude towards reading it, it's all grist to the mill. And Carnegie is a better writer than most in the genre.

I wouldn't be worried about a book ruining you. You're not gonna keep up with bullshit that goes counter to your values anyways, unless you're avoiding something, which is something that a book isn't culpable for.

Tbh I am reading a kinda terrible BDSM guide at the moment and while I find some of it insightful, I find it more useful to understanding what the fuck people on Fetlife are talking about. Like there is a veritable epidemic of One Twue Way on there scattered among the groups and now I got some understanding of it.

Amazing. That owl is pretty punchable, ngl.

Remember when it was the hottest of the hot to check your privilege, count the speaking women characters in stories and, like, be aware of things? Well we tried that and things are worse so what happened? Lily Alexandre offers her perspective.

Basically all Unix command line utilities because they were conceived in the era where typing was the reserve of female secretaries, not real men.

Hey. I want to get in

This is to me just like teens who don't understand that Archive of Our Own is, in fact, an archive and not a social media site so it will never have an algorithmic feed.

Sonic Computer Entertainment is proud to represent their newest console, Sony Dreamstation. The launching titles are set to be Crash the Echidna: My Girlfriend is a Human and Bon Muet, a bildungsvideo game about a teenage French mime who must silently avenge the death of his father by asphyxiation at a Corsican chestnut festival due to falling into a trough while drunk, the trough being in a flagrant violation of the French food service regulations of the 80's.

It's very striking.

If you make your parents install parental control for Switch you can use it to make naughty calls.

The Kentaro Miura tribute last time around was genuinely touching and I don't care if that is cringe.

Cartoon milf porn is not about skill, but heritage.

No private property, respect my intellectual property.

Yeah it's based on the eponymous Earthbound level. That said, adjusting the background is oneline change. Maybe I'll look into it.

It's a restaurant level dish so some complexity is to be expected. The essential concept is that you can make a superlative vegetable dish with just pan frying dandelion crowns in olive oil and topping them with lemon juice, pepper and salt.

I followed an apple orchardist on Twitter and they have some incredibly niche knowledge about varieties. I guess the one thing they'd be bragging about for real would be the vastly better storage capability of apples - there's a newish variety that can be stored up-to a year.

And dead pixels? Aborted.
