The rant thread

A few things for an old guy's edification: OF girls? Engagement farm? Blue tick wankers?

And by the way, now that that cunt Musk has changed the name, what do you call the messages? Twitter had Tweets, what's X got? Kisses? Gobshite. They had a cool little cute logo and a good  system going - twitter/pointless chatter/birds/tweets. What the fuck do you do with X? Man I hate that guy.

[Guybrush]

Yes. At least twitter had some modicum of identity with a charm to it. X vaguely reminds me of of axe bodyspray and juvenile toxic masculinity.

Tweets are now just posts. Zero personality. He had such a hard on for X. PayPal was once called X for a bit before it got turned into PayPal which makes more sense.

OF girls = only fans girls(they post pics of themselves in lingerie hoping to get people to look at their profile to click the link that leads to their amateur porn site that you have to pay a subscription for or subscribe for free. The free subscription ones just end up bombarding your inbox with locked messages that you have to pay per message to reveal pics/vids.

Blue tick wankers = anyone that pays for it on X. You can pay for it and get certain ads removed. It used to be helpful to tell when someone was an official account like a celebrities official account now anyone with 8 bucks I think can get it. There are other benefits but I haven't looked into it.

Engagement farm = people say controversial takes just to get people riled up so that they comment, like, re-post and share the topic and it gets more views. In the back end people get paid based off of how many views, comments and likes a post gets. So much so that people will buy bots to reply to people's comments so that they get more comments added in the post for a higher check/payout.

Since you mentioned bots, you just reminded me of the amount of boomers on Twitter who accuse people of being bots and clearly don't know what a bot is.

I asked one why he called someone a bot and he said 'anonymous account resorting to abuse, and has right wing opinions'.

Instead of being called a bot I was once called AI 😆.

I took it as a compliment and joked about it. People don't really know the difference between bots and real people. If they don't like someone's opinion they are automatically a bot.

One of my early and small forays into python coding was customizing, compiling and running a talking IRC-bot. Think it was called a gruftibot? This was probably the very late 90s.. And I named it Didymus, like the fox creature that guards the bridge out of the bog of eternal stench.

It's so deeply fucked up how my fellow countrywomen have internalised our retarded, misogynistic, Eastern European culture. I mean, I kinda get why the men perpetuate it, it's a pretty sweet deal (if you're an amoral piece of shit). But I see so many smart, nice, otherwise quite modern women living together with some parasitic, hateful loser who treats them like a servant, being unhappy as fuck and being all like "Well, to endure is a woman's lot, it's been like this for the previous generations, it's gonna be the same for me." (And yes, the previous is a real quote). Like what the actual fuck.

Ugh, yes. Sad state of affairs.

developing an IRC bot is pretty cool

ive made a butt ton of stuff with python but never even thought about an IRC bot, i stopped using IRC in 2015

i was a big IRC user though and a python bot fren would have been fun lol

Bought some flushable wipes for cleaning my arsehole after a shit.

Flushed two.

My friend just told me you're not supposed to flush them even though they say flushable.

I feel frustrated, stupid and disappointed.

I deserve everything I get.

Why in the name of Satan's portion would they say they were flushable and then tell you not to flush them? Surely that's like saying, oh this vehicle can off-road, but don't ever off-road in it! Reminds me of a client I used to deal with, said "Here's my home phone number, but for god's sake don't ever use it!"

Do the rip test. If they rip as easily as regular toilet paper then it's fine. Usually flushable wipes tend to be slightly stronger than toilet paper and shouldnt be flushed if that's the case. It means they won't break down as easily as TP.
