that actually matters ;)
tbh that's sorta why i joined twitter, and how they get away with stuff, they censor so much that it makes a false narrative that people are happy with what is going on. it's important that people know the concensus is that we're not.

Twitter still sucks. Their moderators are still the same liberal morons they had before. Musk isn't paying attention or he doesn't care.

I've already been forced to remove things that were not against the rules multiple times... after a 3 year ban for not breaking the rules...

I also have a bigger mouth and a rum habit though lol

lol yeah.. im stayin off it when im drinking :P

im pretty good at not crossing the line tbh, but they started censoring people for very mild stuff a while back, and banning people for just having the 'wrong' opinions in general - sometimes even if not expressed on that platform.


what it is really though.. is there's kinda a general zeitgeist - there's not a literal translation for the word, but if you dont know it, it basically means "the spirit of the age". it's kinda like the overall atmosphere. the problem is they manufactured a false one by selectively removing people from platforms. so it's kinda enough just to exist on it and make comments.

Try reporting something actually against the law/ rules. If it's left leaning or antifa... it stays. But I get suspended for hate speech if I tell a guy to fuck off. Even now.

The feds didn't care either. Tried contacting the people involved who would have become victims but they probably thought I was trying to scam them.

Actually contacting anyone inside of twitter is made impossible on purpose and it still is.

i think a lot of it is dodging the automatic stuff tbh.. i dont think many things are dealt with by actual people.. like using fck instead of fuck for exmaple.

lol bruh, didn't you say you worked in a school?
check this out



cos she confiscated his nintendo switch...

how nonchalant is everyone while he's beating the unconscious woman in the back of the head? lol
i mean it is really harsh, but if that was a maga hat or something i bet the place would be in uproar.
but this, just another day lol. i suppose it depends what you class as outrageous.

i mean watch the guy in the biege shirt in the background lol

i guess no-body likes that woman or something?

+title is actually wrong.. he doesn't "beat teacher unconscious", he beats an unconscious teacher..

honestly tho, this is a universal atmosphere that all kids are exposed to, and it's like this?
that's insane, this is what we are teaching people is normal?

Kids aren't made to suffer any consequences for their actions at school. Got a kid on camera hanging from a light pole until it falls over? We replace it and the kids might get a slap on the wrist if they even say anything.

When I was younger my parents were liable for whatever damages I caused. Now it's a liability issue I guess. Might offend someone.

High school kids are used to seeing fights and to being cowards. If I had done that as a kid my own friends would have kicked my ass along side the school resource officer. No just walking off after, felony assault charges and juvenile detention till 18 at least.

i just couldn't believe how chilled they were about it, like "yeah, i'll slowly amble over"...

getting kinda bored with twitter already tbh, it's just packed with modern Disney type people... it all seems to be about marvel, modern trek, modern star wars, and gayness. plus a lot of griping about politics.

maybe i need to follow some more interesting things.. hmm.. doesn't seem to be any real references to classic stuff, or like, anything per-2016, unless it's posted as a relic... it's all very vacuous

https://www.reddit.com/r/foxholegame/co ... x_be_like/

ya know im actually kinda intrigued to watch little mermaid, cos the audience score is really high, and to be fair, i some of the disney live actions have been alright.
68% critic score, 95% audience score tho...

I could say a lot but the it would just turn into a rant. Thankfully I'm tougher than that teacher. I've been threatened by kids that look like Mizzy (is that ladder stable?) and hit by a few kids. I either told em to try it or fuck off or grabbed em and took em to a teacher.

About the same as when I was a kid tbh but at least they tried to give you a basic education back then whether you wanted it or not lol.
