oh i don't know jack fucking shit about twitter at all

in fact, I often have a very difficult time even parsing what the fuck anyone is trying to say or why they're saying it

I don't know if that's because of the UI, my own brain problems, the style in which people tend to post, or all three

Also, I am 100% of the time fooled by troll accounts now. Always. Because they no longer are any different than just normal humans.

I may have eventually gotten used to the formatting such that I can follow twitter conversations, but that doesn't mean Twitter isn't still a completely dogshit way of presenting a conversation.

Using Twitter for conversation is like going to Arby's for coffee.

I mean, I kinda feel like an old man ranting about kids on his lawn when I say that Twitter is terrible in every conceivable way, but...it is, isn't it?

Twitter is terrible in significantly fewer conceivable ways than facebook is, but their dev team is working on correcting that.

Not kidding, I've seen shit like that on wiki occasionally.

I mean, not that level. That is amazing.

I think all four of these have made it onto the boards at some point, but putting them all next to each other like this really does highlight the absurdity.

All of them are insane but the parking one is just magnificent. It takes a truly fucked mind to write something like that.

See, the parking one is outright abusive. "We know you have no money to pay parking tickets so we're going to try to incentivize you to do so (on top of the fines if it's late)" is just asshole bullshit marketing because police departments rely on that money and have no souls.

The Schumer "we must prevent suicides at all costs while I argue we do nothing to stem the causes of suicidal tendencies" one is so bleakly absent minded that I would have forced my thumbs into his eyes if I read it for the first time in front of the man himself.

The Schumer one is the least slimy but has perfect comic timing.
