𝕏 under @elonmusk is as tyrannical and capricious as anything under the old Twitter regime ever was.

No one thinks this was “violent”, not even the spiteful mutants who mass-reported my ancient posts. 𝕏 has restricted it anyway.

Nothing good is going to grow from this site.

@cozenom @woke8yearold Right. This is actually an interesting nth-order consequences problem. The immediate counterfactual is that they would sell for millions, but only certain people can think past that to see the nth-order consequences.

[Thoughts About Stuff @ThoughtsAbStuff]

@woke8yearold Almost nothing because they would all be vandalised and trashed immediately by the subhumans living nearby

@orm0nde Will Brendan allow me to play Total War: Warhammer instead?

[Thoughts About Stuff @ThoughtsAbStuff]

@XLilliputian @r_vonhagn @PaulSkallas Yes, it really makes sence.

[Thoughts About Stuff @ThoughtsAbStuff]

@r_vonhagn @PaulSkallas Ha, no.

@BovrilG He does exactly that: “Restore’s bourgeois insulation from everyday Brits … the middle-class youths who swell the ranks of both Restore’s and the Greens’ digital fandom”

He also fantasises about strong, muscular black men beating up weak white men

Plus ça change

@ThunderTrundle @PaulSkallas You're joking, but this is similar to what presenters here have to do! If you want to show that lots of people have a mortgage, say: “Put up your hand if you DON'T have a mortgage”. Most people won't put their hand up regardless, and you can carry on as if most people have one.

@ThunderTrundle @PaulSkallas It's just a cultural norm. We hate sticking our hands up in conferences. We hate conferences, actually. Americans line up eagerly to go to conferences, and when there they stick their hands up like good little boys. Brits don't.

[Thoughts About Stuff @ThoughtsAbStuff]

@ThunderTrundle @PaulSkallas You wouldn't get it

@RuairiAodh @Hugh_might @Uvejeje Again, you don't know what an archipelago is.

[Thoughts About Stuff @ThoughtsAbStuff]

@Hugh_might @RuairiAodh @Uvejeje In practice, Irish nationalism has led to the destruction of the Irish people through the Western world's worst mass immigration. We would have been better off if we'd stayed with our brothers in the British Empire. Nonetheless, that doesn't change the name of the geography.

[Thoughts About Stuff @ThoughtsAbStuff]

@Hugh_might @RuairiAodh @Uvejeje That's a map highlighting the outline of the two states that also make up nearly all of the British Isles. There are multiple ways of describing similar concepts. Next you'll be claiming that northern France is in the UK and Ireland because it was shown on the map.

[Thoughts About Stuff @ThoughtsAbStuff]

@Hugh_might @RuairiAodh @Uvejeje In Irish nationalist terminology, I agree.

[Thoughts About Stuff @ThoughtsAbStuff]

@RuairiAodh @Hugh_might @Uvejeje SOURCE?!?!?!

You are literally this meme.

[Thoughts About Stuff @ThoughtsAbStuff]

@Hugh_might @RuairiAodh @Uvejeje This is an excellent example. It was made by a Communist who lives in Vietnam, and at the top of the article he said it was explicitly made to avoid offending Irish nationalists. I don't care about offending you, so I use the real name.

[Thoughts About Stuff @ThoughtsAbStuff]

@Hugh_might @RuairiAodh @Uvejeje You … you read me saying “You: ‘I am very smart.’” and thought I was referring to myself? Really? Lol. Lmao, even.

[Thoughts About Stuff @ThoughtsAbStuff]

@RuairiAodh @Hugh_might @Uvejeje I've said it to you many, many times before for the last several years, every time you ask it.

One can quibble about the outer extremities of the archipelago (geologically, the Channel Islands and French islands don't appear to be linked to the archipelago), but basically yes.

[Thoughts About Stuff @ThoughtsAbStuff]

@Hugh_might @RuairiAodh @Uvejeje It's fine that the Irish state came up with a new name for the British Isles as a matter of racist principle, like Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico. I can get on board with that. But you must realise that that usage is idiosyncratic to the Republic.
