But I feel bad for the kids who don't fit in in real life what with the normification of the internet.

what is the purpose in having an account? Keeping up with people is EZ if you dont have one

Because you don't have to remember every person you want to keep up with, and can interact with them/others who like them if you have one.

right but twitter interactions are shit by design

Depends on what you're after. If you want long form nuanced discussion then yeah it sucks, but that's why I said it sucks for politics.

140 characters is only good for smalltalk and platitudes, so you either have a long string of tweets to discuss one thing, or you use another service

nuance exists outside of politics

Same reason to have a youtube account. I *could* just remember every person I want to watch the videos of, or I could just make an account

They doubled it to 280. Still not amazing, but much better. I only started using it at the start of this year. Like I said, just don't take it seriously. If you're only after serious discussion, then yeah look elsewhere

they doubled it for everyone? Because they initially only did it for the privileged elite <:VeRiFiEd:463064374236413962> 's

also you can have full, nuanced replies on YT, you just might run into an idiot

Yeah, they did for everyone.

well that's at least a little better

Aug 4 is going to be insanity

I thinking someone might die

That one punch man proud boy could have killed that antifa guy

lets hope for the best

Didn't that antifa guy get his skull caved in and brain damage from that punch?

probably

he went rigid

sign of brain damage

I hope that there's no serious violence but if there is, I'd put my money on the Proud Boys

I could see someone getting grievously injured, but dying is a pretty remote possibility given the lack of effective weapons and immediacy of first responders.

There's always the chance of some lunatic bringing a lethal weapon of course, like a gun or IED.

But mostly this is fists and placard sticks.

At the end of the day people are pretty fragile. People die from being punched in the head all the time, and lethal weapons can be anything from a fruit knife to a rock you found on the street.

that punch could have been lethal

I dunno man. I've seen some pretty awful injuries and the people involved make near complete recoveries.

so could him landing a shot with the baton

exactly

either one could have been killed and its only guna be worse
