Whichever Chrome extension one of you recommended months ago still works for me. I exclusively view Twitter on my laptop, and it remains only people I follow and posts I want to see, no ads, no suggested garbage or anything. I don't post, but the second that changes is the second I stop even lurking.

this may be what finally gets me to start a twitter account, just so i can block every other user

Very funny.
X will begin to have users verify their identity by having them submit a selfie alongside a government issued ID. The process requires users to consent to X storing their information for 30 days and sharing it with AU10TIX, an identity verification company based in Israel. pic.twitter.com/0NrDNEguWU— PCMag (@PCMag) August 18, 2023

Apparently, Twitter has deleted every photo posted before 2014.Could be a bug, but it doesn't seem like it at first glance. There's a reproduction search you can try in the comments. https://t.co/fkvGSpWZEQ— Mosquito Capital (@MosquitoCapital) August 19, 2023

By the way - in 2014 Ellen Degeneres posted a selfie from the Oscars and it became the most retweeted photo of all time. That photo is now gone from Twitter. https://t.co/fbH11wzbDV— Tom Coates (@tomcoates) August 19, 2023

seem to be two viral posts today* a reddit AITA with a grown man throwing a wobbly about his girlfriend making him a cake slightly different to the one he wanted for his birthday, in front of his girlfriend's kids* a French person saying they think French food is better than American foodin each the ratio of fucking idiots to reasonable responses looks like about 50-1, even when you scroll way past the blue ticks.it just feels like a shitty subreddit now.

I'd never heard that phrase before, but the internet thinks it's just a normal bit of Brit slang.

interesting variance though -- the reddit thread is pretty clearly in the "you're a fucking grownup" camp, all the upvoted posts tell the guy he's the asshole here. on Twitter, tons of people saying "absolutely not the asshole. it was his special day and he should get what he wants." reddit is not great, but Twitter really shows itself here

One may legitimately wonder how the Twitterati of 2022 would have responded.

this js a guy on twitter telling me I'm a terrible parent for reasons I am unable to comprehend
This is ridiculous. You sound like a terrible parent. Allowing yourself joys and pleasures is absolutely allowed as a parent. He would have done it himself but SHE OFFERED.

― mookieproof, Sunday, 27 August 2023 23:00 (nine months ago) link
there's somebody down thread who wants to argue that baking the wrong cake is really abuse
NTA, and everyone here is so ignorant about emotional abuse its painful.My man, you are better off with out her. Every one here is piling on and it's ridiculous. I had a partner that was exactly like this, her pattern of emotional abuse was to specifically ask what I wanted so she could deny it. She had it out for you and when you didn't blow up like she wanted she blew up herself. In any context, asking someone what they want, and then specifically doing something else so you can hold your (volunteered) effort over them so that the man is the bad guy. It's bullshit dude, you are better off without her and everyone in these comments is acting like someone doing something for you is always good, she is acting like an abuser and you disserve better.
lol yeah that's it exactly. it's abuse when I don't get the cake I wanted

what I also don't dare add to the twitter discourse is that these "devil's food" or w/e cakes with layers of chocolate frosting are all awful and all taste the same anyway
