eh no one seems to know, fare the well

no more parsing, makes me feel worn out. adios, be well, etc

xp yeah

cant twit 'er

i wonder what the next thing is on twitter is now that the outrage olympics are wrapping up

being pretty chill / stories about happiness

thats what im about rn just little stories i can tweet

nice

kinda ruins my plan to start all my tweets from now on with "here is a depressing truth"

here is a depressing truth: the world is full of sadness

otm

here is a depressing truth: gravity

I like misandry

it was good, as a joke, but jokes dont last (5000 likes)

idk I think militant misandry is no joke and I approve 100%

i dont thats like a real thing actually

twitter?! i hardly know 'er!!!!!

moscaddie is funny

naaw

sry you are outvoted, motion passes

this is so unfair

tho if we want to get deeper into my feelings on the topic

an interesting cycle on twitter is like someone is good at twitter, gets popular, becomes bad at twitter due to the forces exerted by twitter popularity

his writing for grantland is... so bad tho, bringing up the whole concept of twitter as a form which is p interesting to me but maybe is horrible to others?

I thought his home alone jigsaw piece was pretty good xp

yeah i liked that too tho even there with a compelling concept addressing a subject matter dear to my heart (the saw movies) u can see how he benefits from a format that demands pithiness

like so many very hilarious tweeters when writing longer are revealed to be guys who think ironic formality and goofy words (there was an ilx thread that addressed this sort of humor maybe? that i cant find) are really good

(there was an ilx thread that addressed this sort of humor maybe? that i cant find)

Is this the thread you're thinking of?

Origins of the faux-naif bloggy voice?

no it was called like "that thing when guys go *half cocks elbow* 'hello sir'" or that sentiment is expressed within or something, idk i tried searching for it, im a fan of faux-naif bloggy voice obvs lol

didn't know you were into saw *updates notes*

subsequently im pretty much an internet hermit wrt social media generally (save a LinkedIn that is at least a yr out of date by last accounting) so my op may not hold much water here

hey how is this workin out if you don't mind my asking? I have some anxiety over this stuff, I probably can't ever hermit out completely because FB's pretty valuable when I'm away from home a lot & other social media stuff is part of my work, but I'm curious, because I have been thinking of social media time as this weird SOMA state or something, not gratifying but not irritating enough to spend less time on

i just unhid everyone tonight for some reason! well, not everyone...

it's an experiment in terror.

i spend the majority of my free/bored at work internet time on one facebook group now and it's kinda everything i ever wanted from interactive internet. don't have to bug my regular facebook friends or people here half as much with pictures of records and record talk. you're welcome! i ignore regular facebook pretty good. but some of my best real life pals are on there so it's worth it for that.

just went on fb for the first time in like a month and so much stuff is going on like ppl getting married and parents retiring and ilx0rs/their babies being cuet

kinda feel like there is a disconnect and i am on the wrong side (which isn't necessarily because i'm old, although that helps). in days of yore it was maybe ppls' duty to let their friends know what was going on? and now it's ppls' duty to monitor their friends' feeds?

i dunno -- i am ever-increasingly isolated in general, but i'd prefer friends communicated with me directly via any number of means rather than assuming that i follow their internet trails

fb is bizarre now--I used to get status updates from friends in my feed, but now all I see are outrage links

outrageous

like Jem and the Holograms

showtime (platform) synergy

Cheer up, Leonard. Forty years from now, the fridge door will never close. Every minute of every hour of every day, you'll get reminders of how wonderful everyone's life out there is. Unless you unplug the fridge altogether, which is easier said than done.
