  • Plenty of people make plenty of money and have plenty good careers without ever making a twitter account.

    Sometimes doing the right thing is hard. Twitter became worth leaving a long time ago but anyone who is still on after the changes over the last 6-9 months just doesn’t value their time enough. It’s a self-respect issue. Like people who still moderate on Reddit after Steve and co made it crystal clear how much disdain they hold for their moderators and users 2 summers ago.

    There are very few people/businesses/things that will fail simply because they leave twitter - you are being dramatic and you know it. And let’s also not fail to realize that if your life or livelihood depends on Twitter to succeed, you are tied to a really sick horse and one day you’re just going to fail. You better look for a second option starting today. But again, there are very few people who absolutely depend on Twitter in the first place. To argue it’s that critical is ridiculous.





  • Nah. You either do the right thing and lose a little exposure or you stick with it and accept that you’re a part of Elon Musk’s political machine.

    Blue Sky is a perfectly viable alternative. Hell half the podcast I listen to now rattle off their blue sky now instead of Twitter. The seas are shifting and there is plenty to gain over there. Leave Twitter. Blue Sky is not perfect by any stretch but it’s a hell of a lot better.

    Fuck off I have kids, lived in the 90’s, and even I recognize Christmas vacation. Haven’t seen it in its entirety, but I am familiar with it as a cultural touchstone and seen chunks over the years because it was a common rerun. Hence why most people get this meme.

    It’s not a crime to not recognize a movie but don’t throw down “as a PARENT I am too BUSY to watch movies” while you indignantly post on a niche web forum about how “you were there so you know” as if that is any more valid than an out context meme.

    Mac users really struggle to understand the concept of local files without being shown

    Of all the critiques of Mac users’ computer literacy I’ve seen this doesn’t even seem to me like it’d make the list.

    To be clear I am not saying you are wrong or don’t know what you’re talking about or something. I am just genuinely surprised to see that and I’m curious what you mean. I assume I’m just unaware of the issue.
