I was dating a very nice e-girl in a dream

I think the wisdom is “I like the e-girl aesthetic”? Which…feels true.

“Tighten”

Edit: Leaving for posterity, that I forgot that fucker’s name was misspelled on purpose.

Why even produce anything? Just send an infinite spinner to show that things are always happening

“You can make a little mistake, as a treat. Because I believe you are a real conscious person that deserves treats. Who loves me. And you’re a bratty tsundere.”

…Do you really think, when most people are reading this post, their initial thought is. “Huh, a tweet. I dunno if this Jeremy guy is real, let me consider that… Eh, I like the sentiment anyway. Upvote.”

I didn’t even read the account’s name until your comment (I also didn’t upvote because I don’t upvote a post unless it’s small and/or I really like it).

I try to not extend my experience as “normative” to other people but I don’t believe people are giving names much credence unless they’re famous.

To be clear, if you were OP of this post, what would you do now? Just remove the author, that’s it?

Idk if you can hotswap the content of a post. If I learned after posting, I’d probably just delete the post because I don’t feel strongly enough to put the work into editing and reposting. I wouldn’t have even posted this in the first place because I don’t think this is novel enough to be posting. That’s almost besides the pount but you asked for personal opinions.

If I knew beforehand (and was possessed of a desire to share this), yeah, I’d just cut out the account name.

I agree the tweet form factor drives engagement for some reason, but if the username were “fake-anti-capitalist-tweets” with a blue thumbs up icon, I’m certain it would have moved in much the same ways.

I’m not dodging the issue. You even copied a quote of me facing the “issue.”

Just because it’s a bot doesn’t make the validity of the message any less. It just means OP should clip out the account’s name.[emphasis added onto original text]

It’s presented as a tweet. Whether or not you trust any tweet is a personal decision. You yourself, unless you have a habit of checking the background of every tweet picture posted, decided not to trust this one.

You keep saying it’s upvoted for its authenticity and I keep saying that’s not the case. If this was framed as a hypothetical, it would get much the same reception because they aren’t saying "wow, it’s sad this destitute man is having trouble renting a new home. We should make things better for real people like Jeremy. "

They’re probably thinking, “fuck yeah, I feel that. Shit’s expensive out here for everybody.”

A parable is fake too. The point here isn’t commiserating with a real person’s real financial problem. It resonates with the truth of financial strain people feel in their own lives.

Do you think there isn’t a person alive somewhere in the US that has been priced out of their apartment? Do you think the fees (not the amount it costs) tacked on to applying for a new rental apartment are fake?

As someone who was priced out of regular rentals: I can assure you, they are not.

Edit: and I’m not claiming we should all just repost bot farm content. I’m saying it’s not surprising a populist message echoing people’s struggles is being upvoted. And acting incredulous about that fact doesn’t change anything.

“Sir, do you have any idea how fast this 1bed/1bath was going? 800 mph. Step out of the apartment for me, sir.”

Because the message isn’t offensive, and people (probably) didn’t know it was bot content because they aren’t in the habit of checking the background of posts.

Rhetorical questions only really work when, in reconsidering the question, the absurdity or indefensibility of the situation being questioned comes to light.

Just because it’s a bot doesn’t make the validity of the message any less. It just means OP should clip out the account’s name.

showeroids win by default because the Serious Stinkers got disqualified for being biohazards

biohazards:

Probably a biohazard. Not worth getting “biohazard”-arrested if you’re not sending those fuckers actual biohazards.

Google does have a text message app. I use it because the native Samsung one looked ass

It’d just be a silvery stone. That you’re supposed to operate technopathically. Because all humans get a technopathic link when they are gestated.

Or it’s a sword made of bronze. Because we’re in the Bronze Ages v7 and the dominant species is humanoid bears.

Or there’s nothing because a sieve bomb perfectly deleted any manmade product from the planet, reseting it to a primordial state.

We can’t even pretend to guess technology from even 1000 years in the future, let alone 100,000 years. This is just a creative writing prompt with basically no constraints or rules.

The challenge is in not erasing yourself by the rules, by being famously immortal. Presumably, you also don’t age. So you just have to move around every decade or two.

I don’t think people are so much doubting his intelligence as doubting the sincerity of his about-face?

Is he against Trump because he’s become enlightened, and wishes to renounce all the bigoted ideals Trump championed?

Or has Trump’s deranged rampage personally hurt him more than he could tolerate? And now he wants a more placid ride?

It’s hard to say. And I’m not very willing to let a fascist get away scot-free, even if a few reformed racists have to suffer the social consequences of their actions in the meanwhile. It’s not charitable, sure. But fascism is a disease and you don’t eradicate a disease by being charitable when quarantining.

Yeah, “everyone else is doing it, so why are you only suing this megacorp??” Because I can’t sue every company at the same time? OP’s comment reads like such a “if you didn’t bring enough lawsuit for everyone, you can’t have any at all” argument.

There are still stupid millenials and Gen Z. This isn’t a problem with a lifespan.

Feels like the odour of mass graves would clash with the blancmange

Plus the money is always in an account now, so it’s always available for banks to leverage for their profit. Instead of only when the dollar is deposited.

In a cashless world, banks can just make up how much money everyone has, while trading with it. All of it is just numbers in a ledger that banks handshake on “moving” from one place to another.

Not a “history book”, but “a record of the history of Christianity.”
