How well do you personally accept compliments?

Is it paranoid or reasonable to think that, if someone says something nice about you, that they're either lying or making fun of you?

The difference between Alex Jones and run-of-the-mill media pundits who you've never heard of before (because they're not interesting) is that Alex Jones understands memes and viral marketing.

You think his regular political genuine beliefs are unique? hell no. It's just that he dresses them up with silliness.

It's the frogs and gay chemicals meme tier shit that makes anyone even pay attention to AJ in the first place.

You think he's dumb. I think he's a successful self-promoter.

Those aren't mutually exclusive.

He's undoubtedly good at self-promotion and selling (just about literal) snake oil, but it sounds like 25 years of conning people has erased the line between his on and off show persona and beliefs.

858 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-9113 00:39

Sure, there are plenty of jobs where software engineering skills, business sense, UX etc. matter more than CS knowledge. CS courses should probably teach these skills more often. However, there's still plenty of problems out there that need CS to solve them. Plenty of innovation is still being done by the people writing CS papers.

It's not like the two worlds are mutually exclusive, either. Plenty of computer scientists write papers and also make practical implementations. It's never a bad thing to learn more. Why can't we all just get along and share knowledge?

>>865 The art of sound design and foley is fascinating! Sometimes you use creative sound synthesis using programming and software, sometimes you use your imagination to record real objects. The trick is to think outside the box to make sounds more impactful or satisfying or gruesome for the effect you're trying to achieve. For example, snapping bundles of celery or slapping steaks together or bags of walnuts for bone-crunching combat sounds, or pouring bowls of soggy cornflakes for vomit sounds. The raptors in Jurassic Park used geese sounds. You can play with the pitch and tempo and various effects to create otherworldly yet organic sounds.

In your video, you could maybe make those mech sounds with like power drills, or balloon whippets for the hydraulic sounds.

I once got good anti-aircraft gun sound effects from pushing a big wooden table across a wooden floor so that it juddered with a big hard booming sound. Another time, for a sort of card game, ripping duct tape off a wall gives a much more satisfying sound for opening a booster pack than if I was to just to record the sound of me opening a real one.

If you've been keeping up with the news lately, there's actually been a lot of violent rhetoric from leftists.
From the "Unite The Right 2" rally, which was actually just antifa rioting and breaking things on their own, with no one else there:

>"It takes bullets to bash fash."

Remember: according to antifa, anyone who isn't antifa is "fash," so they are inciting violence against anyone who isn't a left-wing extremist.
And let's not forget the blue checkmarks on Twitter saying shit like "punch a nazi" when they define nazi as anyone who isn't as lefist as they are.
This will backfire for leftists, as it pushes more and more people to the right, as the left is kind of imploding in on itself and there are liberals who are attacking other liberals for not being as liberal as they are.
I used to be a liberal. Not anymore. You will find that there are many people like me. Blue wave my ass.

877 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-9113 20:08

You might think I'm making up the part about being a former liberal, but in high school I was forced to be a part of an anti-gun petition thing and I had to write about gay rights and stuff too. I also used to call myself a feminist, which was a cringe-worthy phase in my life. But that was all due to indoctrination, back when I didn't think for myself. Now, I've been pushed too far by other liberals to the point that I want nothing to do with liberalism anymore and I'm voting for Trump in 2020.

No, your lack of commitment to changing things is getting in the way. Fate is bullshit.

What is it that you want to happen? Instead of dismissing it as fate, think of ways you can achieve your goals. They might be difficult. You might need to seek out help from external sources. But you have to do SOMETHING.

This is what puts me off a lot of social media platforms, people are more focussed on likes and follower counts, seeking validation for their useless opinions this way.

Get rid of the edgy profile pic and banner. People who think your tweets are clever will still be hesitant to follow you because of the offensive shit.

Make sure your profile pic doesn't get cut off due to the border-radius thing Twitter does now. Your pic currently has text that is cut off.

Your banner is too busy. Needs less stuff. And some of the images have poor scaling and incorrect aspect ratios. Use something like GIMP to resize with a constraint aspect ratio and use cubic interpolation.

You post too many images with no text at all. Twitter isn't Instagram, you need more text. You retweet lots of unrelated things. You should add captions to things you upload, and you should consider possibly quote tweeting things sometimes. You also have a bad ratio of retweets to content from yourself. Your timeline is mostly just a bunch of retweets from other people, and images with no text or context. That comes off as silent. You need to have more of a voice. That's what Twitter is for.

You need to have a more descriptive bio. Include titles and maybe a one-liner joke.

Your account needs a narrower focus overall. It seems like you're going for edgy humor, but then you retweet random unrelated stuff. People want to be able to pigeonhole an account as being for a specific thing, not just all over the place. If you want to be the edgy guy, be the edgy guy. If not, don't.

You posted a selfie... on an edgy account. Either go PC or full anon. Don't upload personal stuff like selfies on an account where you're making 9/11 and race jokes. Also, your selfie was bad. It was from an unflattering angle, in poor lighting, and you need a haircut and a shave. Fix those things and it will look so much better. Take pictures from above and away, with good lighting, not below and up close and dark. A good backdrop also helps.

Your ratio of following to followers is really bad. Also, be sure to follow people who follow you. And engage with your mutuals.

Consider making a CuriousCat account and linking to that in your Twitter profile. It can increase follower engagement.

Tweet with more regularity if you want people to follow you.

Your pinned tweet has no numbers. I looked through your other tweets, and you have two funny tweets that have a lot of likes and retweets. One of those should be your pinned tweet.

About your handle: it's called DM on Twitter... not PM. Maybe change it to SendEyeBags, since punctuation is bad.

Unfollow people who don't follow you. When you are following hundreds of people and only have a couple dozen followers, it looks bad. Of course, if you ever get successful enough at twitter that you have thousands and thousands of followers, then it becomes impossible to follow everybody back and then engage with each and every one of your mutuals.

Lastly, there are a couple effective (but shitty) way to increase the number of followers: be kind of a leech and respond to tweets by very popular accounts. You're essentially piggybacking off their fame. It's effective, but don't overdo it. There are some Twitter accounts with tens of thousands of followers simply because all they do is reply to Trump's tweets. It's a shitty form of self-promotion. I'm not saying you should tweet at Trump, I'm just saying you could get more followers by finding accounts relevant to your interests and then engaging with them. Then, the people who like those accounts will like you, since you are related to the stuff they already know they like. Example: if you're into sports, respond to tweets about sports from accounts with 100k+ followers. If you're into video games, respond to tweets about video games from accounts with 100k+ followers.

A second way to get more followers is to simply follow people who are similar to you. Search profiles for hashtags, words, etc. that are related to you and your personality and posts. Who are you? What are you interested in? Figure that out and search Twitter. A lot of people do follow4follow, as shitty as it might be. But it really does work. Just don't overdo it!
