    I spend years getting a degree and working my ass off to get into a job i’ll work for the rest of my life, just to afford a slightly comfortable existence. This girl says some dumb redneck shit for 5 seconds and is set for life.

    We live in a society. Bottom text.

      Idk, I think my only favorite thing about the whole debacle is that almost literally everyone just ignored musk’s whole name change thing, and still call it twitter and tweets. Because everyone recognizes what a fucking stupid name X is lmfao.

        One of my wife’s friends gets really upset when people call it Twitter for some reason. She doesn’t even use it. Just gets irate and reminds everyone the name was changed so if you want people to know what you’re talking about you should call it X.

        Strange hill to choose…

          “Do you use twitter?”

          wifes friend

          “IT’S CALLED X NOW!!! NOBODY KNOWS WHAT TWITTER IS!!! IF YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT, CALL IT X!!!”

          looks at her, looks back at the wife

          “So do you use twitter?”

          wifes friend

          “NOBODY USES TWITTER ANYMORE SINCE ELON MUSK BOUGHT IT!!!”

          “Yeah, ok. You’re right, but not for the reasons you think.”

        I guess everyone ignoring it allows me to remind people it’s gone to shit.

        if everyone leaned into it I wouldn’t be able to interject.

        Drag is disappointed that Hank is still on Twitter. Drag respects Hank and doesn’t want him giving the Nazis his time and energy

        I’m on Hank’s page on this, I think everyone agrees with him, and my proclivity towards correcting the use of twitter/tweet is deliberate absurdism to point out X is fucking stupid and maybe you should find an alternative.

        it’s pronounced Xitter, btw.

    This would have garnered a sensible chuckle showing up on my feed 10 years ago.

    Now its a reminder of how fucking manufactured and over-promoted whatever the trending meme on X The Everything App ends up being. Reminds me of the “Pieces of Flare” bit from Office Space.
