one of the weirdest things that people believe on a website where the collective mood changes every thirty-six hours is that events completely unknown to 60% of the population, where 90% have the facts wrong, will have persistent effects eighteen months later

appealing a label that just factually reports how often i post by saying i'm "going through some stuff"
There's a thing on your profile page that says how many labels have been applied to your account
You can click it to see what they are and who applied them, and "appeal" to have them changed or removed

wait why does this guy think a post where he just screenshots an instagram pic of steve jobs's daughter and says "steve jobs daughter btw" is a "banger" post
Twitter created an official account that features posts that got lots of high quality engagement, and this guy is going absolutely Nasim Aghdam mode over his post not being included. They sent him something like $10k over it originally

Joseph II: all his reforms may have failed, but nobody could ever take these incredibly catty letters about teaching the King of France how to fuck away from him.
