I'm not planning on leaving until Twitter dies completely, but I'm at https://t.co/9em885T8HP if anyone wants to follow me there before the inevitable happens.
@ctrlcreep Gyroscope: "gyros" from the Greek "turning," as in meat on a spit. A device which detects slices of roasted meat nestled in pita with some vegetables and tzatziki
@alexc1ted I once arrived to help set up a Thanksgiving dinner just in time to stop someone from putting a pound of sugar in the cranberry sauce instead of a cup
@jfruh I've always seen it as like a sitcom marriage, where there's maybe some sex but it's not very significant or passionate. That option should be mainly about companionship, not about getting to fuck on the regular.
@nameoftheyear I'm always shocked when people tell me they intentionally bought something from an ad, and then they complain it was poor quality. I guess not everyone grew up in an era when every online ad would just give you a virus, so they don't assume every ad is still some sort of scam
@notdetails I think if more people were being moderately cautious, people who are currently very cautious could ease up a little. My dad is only comfortable having us over because he knows we mask very consistently and rapid test regularly. If we didn't, he'd be much more isolated.
@NN_EE_ZZ 1/3 seems like a pretty good ratio when you consider that most people follow 100+ accounts and aren't looking at Twitter all the time, and plenty of followers may be bots or just inactive accounts. Even without an algo, you wouldn't see every post from every account you follow
@morgankbell@vvictorman_uel @LuxAlptraum My middle school computer class teacher got mad at me because I tried to tell her about keyboard shortcuts. She was copy/pasting by going to the file menu each time, not even right-clicking!
