Unable to access my main account for reasons that haven't been explained to me. I guess X is trying to teach me a lesson because I won’t pay to verify my acct.
@trueLiberalist You’re not wrong. If my brother and his wife (she’s from South America) are having a party at their house, and it starts at 7:00, they tell her Latino friends and relatives that it starts at 6:00.
@soulgroove42@polesnail_ I’m not the least bit concerned about the feelings of the kind of people who shot up her neighborhood.
Snail Pole has kids. I don’t know if they live with her, but, if they do, I think her tweet could put her and them in danger. Why take the risk?
@BernieSanders When you type “o,” I bet it autocompletes to “oligarchs.”😄
The only thing that begins with “o” that you spend more time thinking about is “other people’s money.”
@JohnHMcWhorter “He put his hands on me. I told him not to.”
Interesting. So Karmelo thinks people should do what they’re told? Like when they told him to get out from under their tent?
I guess in “disrespect culture,” people have to respect you, but you don’t have to respect them.
@JohnHMcWhorter (2/2) coddling. More law and order, not less. Everyone who participates in the toxic, violent, dysfunctional “culture of disrespect” should be made to live in fear. They need to be “scared straight.” It’s time for zero tolerance.
@JohnHMcWhorter (1/2) If they could learn the wrong way to behave from the whites of the Celtic Fringe, then there’s no reason why they can’t learn the right way to behave from mainstream Americans. And one way to teach that lesson is to keep handing out 35-year sentences. Enough with the
@chzchopgnipgnop The unreviewed-content warning is the most annoying part about Reddit. They make you log in to view content that’s completely innocuous. I don’t know if there’s a legal reason for it or if it’s part of the “you wouldn’t have to deal with this bullshit if you had the app” strategy
@chzchopgnipgnop Peak internet was 10+ years ago. Content moderation and “download the app” ruined it. I miss when the internet was the wild west and people were free to speak their minds. The only things that need to be policed are threats, posting other users’ private info, revenge porn, etc…
@chzchopgnipgnop All that does is guarantee I will never download the app. Google Maps, Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok, I’m looking in your direction.
Every time I try to watch a video or do street view on a map, and it makes the App Store window open, it fills me with homicidal rage.
@chzchopgnipgnop The most annoying thing is that they intentionally make the website versions worse so that you’ll download the apps, e.g., they disable features that used to exist on the website; they make you log in to access content that you previously didn’t have to log in to access, etc…
@SenSanders I have no doubt that Bernie Sanders and others of his ilk will solve the problem of the richest country on Earth being unable to provide affordable healthcare, housing, or other basic necessities for its citizens…by making sure that we’re no longer the richest nation on Earth.
