I have removed 20+ “followers” (read: bots) this week alone. I’m fairly certain if I wasn’t constantly cleansing my followers I’d be at 500 by now, but it’d be literally 95% fake accounts. I’m mostly a lurker, so what am I doing that is attracting them? Or is this universal?
Speaking of bots - I’m still getting followed by one a day or so, but X isn’t notifying me so they start to pile up before I remember to purge them. Odd. Pretty sure if I didn’t remove them I’d be over 100 followers with 80% being fake accounts
I sometimes think we are already in a cyberpunk dystopia, just w/o the good stuff (I could really use a bionic eye for example). Using crappy chat bots to automate scams is just bottom barrel stuff though - it has no shame, and trolling back is less satisfying.
Walked into my 2yr old twins room to find one of them sitting on an upturned laundry basket with clothes scattered everywhere. "Oh wow" he said, looking around "Clean up?" He followed When I said yes, he got up, went to the door, said "Have fun" and shut me in his room.
Paul Harrell, one of the best gun YouTube accounts, is dying from pancreatic cancer and is near the end. We've gotten him over 75k subscribers in a couple days. Can we get him over 1 million? Do your part. youtube.com/@PaulHarrell
All three of my young children were napping at the same time. It will never happen again, I'm sure, but it was a really enjoyable 13.5 minutes of quiet. #ThreeUnderTwo is quite an adventure, though at least I'm a few days away from #ThreeUnderThree
Came home from library only to realize I’d forgotten to have the clerk remove the anti-theft tag from the 6yr old’s chosen movie, rendering it unwatchable. You’d think I’d given away his puppy or something. “Worst dad ever!”, at least until tomorrow when I go back.
The toddler is trying to say *Fire_trUCK* but is merging them in the worst way. Really hard to keep a straight face to this. Guess we won’t be bringing any toy trucks to church for a few weeks.
Let’s be honest. The consequences of getting the toddler twins dressed for bed *before* everyone has ice cream is 100% one me, not them.
Assuming all disagreement stems from 'hatred' is a sign of immaturity.
Politics is a healthy interest, a bad hobby, and a terrible obsession.
My own two eyes just read a book blub that thought “20th century London” was an appropriate description of the setting, and now I’m feeling old. Not as bad as that “despite releasing last century The Matrix is still relevant today” nonsense, but still.
I could use your help reaching my fundraising goal. Every single share and donation makes a difference. gofund.me/6807a9a3
Scientific progress, unlike Thermonuclear War, is not a situation where the only winning move is not to play By all means, make it a structured debate - I.E. predefined set of claims to discuss cuts down on firehouse and gish-gallop But it must happen, or there is no progress
If you have a plan to solve a large-scale problem that begins with the phrase, "If everyone would just..." please stop. Everyone wont. Even if its a good idea or your plan includes force, nothing short of the Almighty can ensure everyone does something, and He's given us agency.
Thank you @TerryMatalas for an amazing finale to a superb season! This life-long Trekkie is hoping to see more in a #StarTrekLegacy spin-off!
I lost my best friend last year.. Today would have been his birthday. I miss him more than words can say. This video helps me today maybe it will help some of you. ❤️
Politics I want in my games: Never trust a Capellan. Does this unit have a Soul? The Dark side corrupts, always. Politics I don’t: Anything dealing with anything real world. Orange Man Bad / Senile Man Creepy… both of them need to stay out.
I just want to say that responding to ‘get real world politics out of games’ with ‘but politics exist in the game world’ is the douchy-ist response. Its someone pretending to be smart yet playing dumb at the same time.
This is out next month, hardcover, ebook, and audio. Preorder available at the link.
