I occasionally write long posts but you should assume I'm talking out of my ass until proved otherwise. I do like writing shit sometimes.

50/50 chance of suit pictures end up here or on the Art Directory account. Good luck.

Be 18+ or be gone you kids act fuckin' weird.

I have sympathy for all the teachers I grew up with always saying "cite your sources!" and having to hammer that into our tiny lil heads.

Every time someone wants to share an interesting article, but they actually just share a tweet that itself is the headline and a (twitter clickthrough!!!) link to the ACTUAL article, I'm the one that has to go find the True Source and link it back.

Maybe I'm silly for being so adamant about click restraint and direct sourcing but, if you actually went to the source yourself then why wouldn't you just link that? Why link to twitter?

News websites did this to themselves by having an insufferable amount of ads and SEO fluffed article body where you can get all of the important information faster from the tweet and its top level replies

This is true.

But in today's case it's everyone I know linking the wario64 headline about counter strike 2 instead of linking like... the official valve youtube channel, which has a few videos uploaded about it. EDIT: there's also just, the valve page on it too.

Like I've seen at LEAST three different spaces where the news was shared as a fucking wario64 tweet. C'monnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
