Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
I don't think my lurking counts as breaking the rules, I'm just fulfilling my commitment late.
I will say that if the old name was racist, stop fucking using it. The Washington Commanders, Cleveland Guardians, etc.
Otherwise, fuck 'em.
I will happily call it 'X' because it is a stupid name and one of the dumbest decisions Elon has made and tried to enforce. Why are we trying to protect him from his stupidity?
His momma name him Clay imma call him Clay.
I'll be long gone before I start calling it "X"
I just deadname buildings. Anyone been up the Sears Tower lately?
not lately, no. I should go back there lol
Rose garden represent.
Deadnaming Corporations-In-General: chef's kiss
Corporations ≠ people. I don't care what SCOTUS has to say on the matter. They have proven themselves to be illegitimate
I’ve been known to deadname the one true church. Joseph Smith named it the Church of Christ, but the Mormon church is going through its little phase 💅 and insists on being called, and get this, no abbreviations allowed,
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I got supremely lucky one day when they knocked on my door. I happened to be in the middle of carving up a full beef tenderloin flank into filets and tips, and was expecting company, so I didn't bother cleaning up, putting on a shirt, or even putting the butchers knife down.
So what they got to see was a 6'3" blonde haired, blue eyed, viking looking fucker open the door in shorts with blood covering my arms and the hand I was holding the knife in, (I took the time to wipe off one hand with wipes, dont want blood everywhere), who promptly yelled over his shoulder, "Hey guys you can let the goat go! I just found us a couple of virgins!"
They scarpered quickly.
I’ve been referring to it as “x formally known as twitter.com” every time I say it for months now.
Umm. I think you misspelled shitter
What is a rule
There's just something so pathetic about failing to start your dream company called X in 1999, and then twenty years later when your ultra rich buying some other company and renaming it X to try and finally feel like you won, you did it, you made a globally important social media company called x. The struggle is over. At last.
I cannot prove this as it is a theory someone else proposed, but I sincerely believe that his obsession with the letter X is due to the fact that many native African tribes signed away all their rights and privileges with an X mark, since they were illiterate.
globally important
This is continually decreasing.
It's even funnier that the website itself is still using "twitter" as URL.
Well, not anymore. It's already fully migrated to x.com.
It still refers to itself as Twitter though.
Small brain: Calling it X
Big brain: Calling it twitter
Galaxy brain: Not acknowledging that shithole at all
Free and open source brain: referring to the platform as Nitter
Nitter is dead though, right?
https://nitter.poast.org still works
the only way to get it to work now iirc is to have it puppet actual accounts rather than guest accounts so it's a bit harder to do, but privacydevel made a fork that can do that
I see, thanks for the info.
But he can start paying me if he wants me to call it X or whatever. I'd do so. For some $8 a day.
That's a deal at twice the price.
