Twitter fucking sucks, it has always sucked. All social media is garbage.

The lifeblood of twitter is all about WHO is saying what and to be SOMEONE on twitter all you have to do is: whatever it takes using an insufficient amount of characters to do it. I don't trust anybody on twitter.

Twitter is great, just don’t follow shitty people.

Twitter is great when your pal wins a Gwyneth fanjo candle in a quiz, it explodes when lit, she sells the story to a tabloid, and the story goes viral with many, many LOLs.

I noticed a few years back, in myself and others, that any assertion I made in a public online forum had a subconscious primary motivation. I'd conceive of an assertion, think it was coming from a particular place, but in retrospect, I'd be able to see the subconscious motivation for making that assertion. In certain cases, the primary motivation would be full-tilt psychological projection-- identifying a pattern of behaviour in others, publicly speaking on it, without realizing (at the time) that I was, in fact, describing my own behaviour.
Having noticed this, I became more trepidatious about making online assertions. Twitter is, I think, just the most obvious arena for this tendency to thrive. I see rich people asserting that they're poor, and accusing others of being ostentatious about their wealth. I see the smuggest individuals I've ever met accusing others of smugness.
I mean, even this post itself has to come with a disclaimer... I'm not posting this to claim that I'm "above the tendency toward psychological projection in making online assertions", just that it's kinda prevalent, a constant byproduct of being online, in my own posting and others

Extending generosity that they might not deserve, you could imagine that smug people are extra-sensitive to it in other people because they are trying to fight it in themselves... maybe.

it seems like a great way to meet new people, talk about interesting ideas, but also be silly and have some fun once in a while. seriously considering signing up for an account and getting in on the conversation.
