When the zoo gives a tiger a cake on its birthday they smash it to bits because they don't understand what it is. Same thing.
My theory is that tech bros hate humanities because they've all tried once to impress a girl studding English Lit by talking about a book and they were all laughed at for their complete misreading of the text.

I desperately keen for all the housemates to be in and for the boredom to start.
Please let them get bored. That's where we get the best Big Brother moments. #BBAU

I was recently labeled “rude” for expressing elation that noted war criminal Richard Cheney is no longer with us. I’d say something about the cold oppression of “civility” here but it would probably get labeled, so please, check your filter settings!
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
