Holy shit. Read this, seriously, I'm laughing myself into tears over here. This guy is tweet-storming an absolutely insane "Twitter novel" about...modern politics? And the Oprah conspiracy? I swear it's a lot funnier than that sounds. It's utterly mad. SUPER long, and still being written I guess.
Totally loling over here.
There was a time when I felt that I was far too offensive and controversial to entertain the idea of a career in politics. I swear too much, and care about people's opinions and the arbitrary standards of decorum too little.
However, the past year has made it clear that I was simply ahead of my time. 😎
I don't buy this whole "Trump vs. Bannon" thing. Bannon was on good terms with him last month. Granted there's been some friction; who knows, 's ire might even be genuine. But in no way do I think that Bannon made some kind of a mistake and ended up on Trump's bad side. Bannon is calculated as fuck, and it wouldn't shock me in the slightest to find out that this whole thing is one big red herring meant to divert our attention - which is a standard Trump move.
Eyes open - stay frosty.
The Alabama chapter of the KKK must be rolling in their graves right now LOL
Went to a club for NYE. Knew I would hate the inflated prices and long bar lines, so I had a flask stuffed in a tampon box in my purse.
When I was in BCT I had my ex send chocolates stuffed in tampon boxes because it was the only thing the DS wouldn't check. Chocolate is like cigarettes in prison - currency. I used to pay other recruits to do my laundry so I could sleep in (if you've enlisted, you know sleep is worth more than gold in BCT).
Prison economy ftmfw. Happy New Year, bitches!
The Mastodon guy is also objectively wrong when he claims that regional blocks are ineffective because it won't stop dedicated bad actors. Most bad actors are bots or otherwise *not* dedicated - they rely on mass numbers. IP and proxy blocks won't stop all of them, but it hugely reduces them and makes it much more manageable for moderators. I'm a community manager by profession and barring Bangladesh/India/Russia/China almost nixes spam accounts, in my experience.
I really am not seeing the big deal with other Mastodon sites isolating CoSo. I mean it sounds like they're being dicks, but who cares?
The #1 instance is a Japanese lolicon community - it's all drawings of foxes with dicks and sexualized preteen girls. All of the top 10 save for CoSo and the main Mastodon site are non-English. So sue me but are we REALLY missing out by not being able to cross message with them? Cuz I dunno about you guys but I don't chat up furries.
CoSo user #53. Anti-fascist. Leftist.
The little engine that wished a motherfucker would. Hands rated "E" for everybody.
