America needs a new political party. Both of the current ones are bad. Republicans are way too reactionary, Democrats are pro-censorship, and both are getting more extreme. Neither appropriately represents an average person.

verification was made up by humans though… so it’s an arbitrary definition. And, the original system was fundamentally flawed (like all human systems). You could be verified just by being friends with a twitter employee or by paying someone enough (in which case it literally does mean, ‘i have money!’)

And, you’re not just paying for the blue check. You also get monetization (!!) and other quality-of-life stuff. I think it’s worth it for a power user, just for monetization.

The everything app argument is different, but just because they’re adding new features, doesn’t mean they’re deleting the old ones. And, you don’t have to use those features if you don’t have to. No one is forcing you to.

Personally, I think such an app would be nice, if done right. It would be an easier UX to have the same app do everything, rather than a different app for everything.

i was thinking about the pay-to-get-verified thing that’s happening now. verification is designed to tell people that an account is actually what/who they say they are, not a badge to say ‘i have money!’

secondly: this whole ‘everything app’ thing is…silly. honestly if someone opens twitter, they are probably looking to post something or look at things, not order food or cash a check or whatever other shit musk thinks twitter needs.

twitter is no longer worth saving

Twitter is on its redemption arc. As a daily twitter user (I don’t have an account but I scroll on there), it has gotten more funny and engaging than ever. And you can now make a living off of twitter. If (and when) I start a Youtube channel, I would definitely start posting the videos on twitter and being monetized.

And yes, I know all of your reasoning. I’ve heard it all before. Twitter is objectively getting better (unless you care about politics more than user experience)

I think, if anyone other than Elon had bought it, you wouldn’t be complaining this much.

  • ubuntu sucks now

  • the mango-flavored chewy candies are disgusting. any teacher who dispenses them should not be allowed near children

  • twitter is no longer worth saving

  • not everything needs to be about politics. literally, i go anywhere other than school or home, and the moment i try and talk to someone they just decide to bash me for my political beliefs and then go on and on about theirs

Pro tip: Trigger any filmmaker, director, movie critic, or actor with these 2 words:

Napoleon Dynamite

Hot take: Other people should start posting their hot takes.

I’m interestred on other users unpopular opinions on this site, especially the ones who bash/ratio my takes! Who likes banana on pizza? Who thinks Lis was a good prime minister? Who thinks Blackberry phones are still great (does that company even still sell phones?)

These posts also get users engaged with one another in comments and reposts. So come along, what are YOUR hot takes?

Hot take: an Apple Watch is better than or at least equal to many Android phones

The extreme pace that my mind runs at is very hard to live with. It feels like I overclocked my brain and the rest of my body isn't powerful enough to keep up
