fat thread edition
Doesn't Fate just piss you off? I don't have objections against the idea of all things happening according to a design or anything like that, but when you see it in action you just think, "Could this happen in a more obnoxious way?". It's so annoying.
>>905
people believe in fate because it absolves them of any responsibility to change things on their own
try to develop an internal locus of control instead
>>907
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.
>>908 You might have mistaken the meaning of my admittedly dumb whining. I'm perfectly content with things going the way they are, but I'm practically having to constantly fight against the stream of GM railroading just because he's being so obnoxious about making me run into that NPC.
good night, friends
>>901,904
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. Actually it was the same on old Internet forums as well, how "established users" think their opinions are worth more, or they should be treated with more respect, because they've racked up 20,000 posts
>>913
I agree. Somewhat ironically, people with higher follower counts tend to be more boring because mainstream appeal is bland.
Fate doesn't exist; it's always either a natural disaster or someone (including yourself) being idiotic, malicious, drama-hungry or mentally ill.
i feel like japantimes doesn't get enough hate
literally every single article is either:
-"japan is very problematic and racist and needs to join the rest of the world in the current year" -by debito carudo
-regional elections aaaahh record-breaking turnip harvest in gunma fuck off no one cares not even the people who live there
-"loL have u heaR of oriGAmi??? ids very wafuu (thats japanese for japanesey xddddddd)"
i posted a very similar thought already in the previous thread and it got washed out by a torrent of autism. now i post it here, in the twilight of the current thread, so that dqns will be forced to look at it for a day or two.
Yeah I hate some random website too

>I could use some tips for getting more followers
for starters you could follow me back, aaaaaaaaaaah
>>924
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!
Elaborating on what I said about following people in hopes of them following you back: look at their ratio of following to followers. If they're more or less 1:1, then do it. But if they have 10k followers and are only following 200 people, don't bother. They are not likely to follow back at that point.

> 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
The shitty banner is actually my favorite thing about >>924's twitter. I really dig that semi-ironic I-don't-give-a-shit crap resolution mess.
I agree with some of >>928's advice, but the thing is if you follow all that advice you'll just be a boring-ass twitter personality that's just like everybody else. I say keep doin' your own style. Maybe take some of >>928's advice but not all of it.
What people thought the future would be like: flying cars, space travel, and post-scarcity
What the future really is: if you root your smart toilet, you can disable some of the tracking and even overclock it, but unfortunately that prevents you from getting security updates and there's a known remote code execution vulnerability. Also, Jeff Bezos made $3 billion in the past 24 hours alone, but my GoFundMe didn't get enough funding so I can't get surgery after all.
>>932 yeah, >>928 is good advice if like, you're the social media department at some fast food corp trying to establish a "twitter brand" as edgy-but-in-a-safe-way rebels or something, but not good advice if you're just looking for somewhere to see and post interesting content and write your thoughts down
In general twitter is, imo, probably the least-shitty social media network(no real name policy, lax policy on r18 content, useable without enabling javascript, etc) but the obsession with follower counts is the biggest demerit against it. just be interesting and post interesting things and followers will come organically.
>>933
We're basically living in a cyberpunk dystopia but with only the crappy parts. Where's my cybernetic body augmentations, the concrete jungles with miles of obscure back alleys lit solely by neon signs flashing vaguely asian-looking letters, or the philosophical treatises on what it means to be human in a world where you can just copy your brain into a robot body? All we got instead was the monolithic surveillance state and the abject poverty and misery of 98% of the population while a cadre of the super wealthy vampirise the last scraps of wealth and resources of this planet before fucking off to space.
What a shitty trade.
what we expected: star trek
what we got: GiTS, but only the shitty parts
>>937
yeah but they didn't have tinder or memes or medical marijuana in GITS
at least video games are good
>>932
really the key takeaway is: the best bet for most people is to create content that adds value to the people you wanna be online friends with (fans or other creators). you are best off filling a niche of some sort to have a chance of being popular, but it is not worth being popular unless it's a niche you love. if it is something where you are truly good at the content, you will expand your niche to its maximum possible reach when your best posts leak out.
also only post things that you are okay with literally everyone on planet earth remembering you posted it and responding to you. chances are they won't, but they might, that's the important part. you don't need to be "safe", necessarily, just okay with what is not safe about what you said.
also also, every second you spend on opinions that won't make a difference is a second you should have spent on opinions that will. is what you read a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing? k good don't give it any time. even ignore my shitty opinion if you want. nothing is true; everything is permitted.
>>927 That wasn't me, and I saw only one follow notification spring up. Probably to discourage that sort of behaviour, I guess.
>edgy profile pic and banner
Yeah, I've been considering going for a look changeover, but I think it still needs to be shitty. I've got this new art program though, and I'm still having trouble being sufficiently shitty with it.
>border radius
People can still see it if they somehow conjure up the effort to view the shitty profile's avatar, and I'd rather not concede to bad design decisions. I'd imagine most people have changed the CSS with greasemonkey by now.
>banner too busy
How dare you, that banner is my charm point! By the way, everything in the banner WAS done up to scale, but I'd compose them over eachother. I disabled all forms of anti-aliasing, but that's just because I think AA is an atrocity in general.
>captions
In any image I've seen with a caption, they tend to detract from it so much that I avoid liking it. The meaning of an image is generally self-evident, I think, adding text is just redundant. I can see how captioning a retweet would make my account seem much, much less barren, but that just feels even scummier to me.
>noise:signal
I've been meaning to post more, but I find that I just don't have interesting thoughts all that often. It's a serious personality issue. And when I do, I can't help but think that they'd be better spent on textboards such as this.
>bio
I had none earlier, that one's just inspired by this stupid line from a book. I know it looks fucking stupid, a little more than I find fitting for even my own profile, but the moment just formed such an impression on my mind. I'll probably change it, as you suggested.
>narrow focus
This'll probably fix itself when I start to post more.
>selfie
That image is probably the only image of me that exists on the clear web, aside from that one image of my moustache on this very site. Furthermore, I probably haven't posted my name on that site. Even if it does pop up somewhere, looking it up on search engine brings up entirely unrelated things, because of a funny coincidence. As for the composition of it all, I was trying to go with a look that says "this guy looks like a total asshole" for the joke, but it doesn't really translate well. I guess people have seen others do things more ridiculous than wearing 2 sets of sunglasses while taking themselves completely seriously.
>following:followers
But I want to follow them.
>engage with your mutuals
They always ignore me, a symptom of the aforementioned issue of me being an entirely uninteresting person.
Sorry if this post was a little long.
> I'm still having trouble being sufficiently shitty with it.
Even image quality aside, do you really think it's a good idea to have jokes about 9/11 and racism? Come on.
>In any image I've seen with a caption, they tend to detract from it
I don't mean a caption on the image itself, I mean you write text in your tweet when you upload an image.
>I'd imagine most people have changed the CSS with greasemonkey by now
Most people don't use Greasemonkey on computers. And more people use mobile as opposed to computers anyway. That seems like a weird thing to contest. Your image literally has cut-off text.
>I just don't have interesting thoughts all that often
Most people don't, but many people manage to tweet more anyway. Just come up with a list of topics that you'll tweet about, and then occasionally mention something about it. Current events are an easy way to post frequently. I don't mean general current events. But whatever niche you're a part of, there's probably something going on, so you can tweet hot takes about things that happened in your circles or hobbies lately. Or puns or jokes. Or life updates, like a new job, classes you're taking, things like that. What you wrote indicates that you think tweeting is only for really impressive stuff. Guess what? People tweet about going to restaurants or drinking with people. It doesn't have to be super interesting or uncommon. People tweet about dumb shit all the time.
>I was trying to go with a look that says "this guy looks like a total asshole"
My first thought was "this guy needs to shave and get a haircut and maybe get a gym membership." No offense though.
>They always ignore me
Do you mention people? Do you DM them? Do you know them? Do you respond to their tweets? Do you have things in common with them?
Think: who is your target audience? Why do people follow you? Don't just tweet aimlessly into the void. Think about who you want to see it, why they would like it, etc. It's hard to have an audience if you don't know who you're tweeting for. You can even view Twitter analytics to see who views your stuff, like what they're interested in and all that jazz.
I can't imagine being so invested in something so devoid of value
>>944
if you worked in social media before (as shitty of a job as it is) you'd notice little details like this
"people tweet about dumb shit all the time so don't worry about posting more dumb shit" yucky...
>>946
I didn't mean post really shitty things, just that it's more casual and you don't need a really impressive idea to post it. It's different for corporate accounts, where there's typically more effort per post, and you also schedule uploads too. But for a personal account, salience is important.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salience_(language)
If you never tweet, people will forget that you exist. If you tweet more often, people will remember and like you more, unless you post complete garbage. But if your tweets are acceptable quality, that's all that matters. They don't have to be masterpieces.
I just shit blood. Cute how it takes this pale shade of pink in low volumes.
You're lucky I can get along with anybody, you worthless fuck.
The sun is setting on me.
It's actually fairly normal to shit blood. Usually it's hemorrhoids or an anal fissure from pooping too hard. Wouldn't hurt to talk to a doctor about it, but if it's only a little blood there's no need to freak out or go to the ER.
Don't listen to me though, listen to doctors posting shit (lol good pun rite) on the internet:
https://www.iffgd.org/symptoms-causes/alarm-symptoms.html
https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/blood-in-stool
https://www.health.com/mind-body/blood-in-poop
TL;DR: only freak out if there's a lot of blood, the blood appears to be mixed with your poop (as opposed to just on the surface) or it doesn't look fresh
The internet lets you talk with strangers about bloody poop and anal fissures. What a time to be alive.
Surely this isn't what Tim Berners-Lee had in mind.

To be fair, he probably just envisioned a web 1.0 design where people had non-interactive pages of writing and low quality GIFs and guestbooks and pretty much nothing else. And don't forget the "this site is under construction" and "best viewed with a screen resolution of 1024x768 or higher" messages. I'm glad it's gotten better over time.
But then again, imagine what tech would be like without purists like Berners-Lee or Stallman. Sure, people can make fun of them sometimes, but if the web wasn't open, and we didn't have FOSS server platforms, shit would be a whole lot worse.

Technically, the Death Grips song "No Love Deep Web" should be "No Love Dark Web." Deep web is a real thing, but it's not what they were aiming for. Any page that requires a login or isn't indexed by search engines = deep web. Tor = dark web. If they're going for the edgelord angle, it should be dark web.
>>986
deep web is boring and not that interesting
people commonly say deep web when they really mean dark web
deep web = some regular house with a lock on the door, in a regular neighborhood, nothing really interesting
dark web = secret underground crime syndicate and edgelords
not exactly, but you get the idea
death grips is edgy, which do you think they were going for?
they specifically mention Tor

Eeeh, maji? Easy modo?
>>987
i mean, yeah they were going for that cyberpunk vibe but aren't really tech savyy. they also thought 4chan was a cool hangout for hackers but wasn't really.
but, to be honest, i find the concept of the deep web itself a whole lot more fascinating than "the dark web". i mean, a lot of criminal shit probably gets arranged on facebook messenger and whatsapp. so it's boring and mundane but in a way so is crime.
behind locked doors, someone might be planning some weird embezzlement scheme, you never know.
>>990
you logging in to gmail or twitter is the deep web
wow, fascinating
and yes, some people are dumb enough to do criminal stuff on facebook, but they do get caught
big tech companies cooperate with law enforcement and I'm sure they flag certain keywords or even image checksums (and also image recognition via neural networks), so you're owned as soon as you post something bad, like talking about a drug deal, or posting bad images, like of drugs or weapons
you know how facebook can find faces in images and it suggests that you tag people? well image recognition can apply to other things too, not just faces, so if you post a bag of weed on messenger then it could know
maybe they don't actually do that, but I'm saying it's possible, just like how captcha knows about street signs and shit
it doesn't make sense for people to do crime on facebook when they could use Tor and whatnot instead
>just like how captcha knows about street signs and shit
Is it captcha that knows? I thought those things were like collaborations with relevant companies, for instance identifying the street signs, cars, bikes etc. was helping image recognition for self-driving cars and stuff. Maybe I'm wrong, but I got that idea from a few years ago when you'd get two blurry words, and one was a captcha test word and one was from an old book that OCR scanners weren't certain about, so people were indirectly helping to digitise old literature; there was a thing going round that, since the captcha test didn't actually know itself what the other word was, you could put any word and it would pass the test so people were entering "CUNTFLAPS" or something to fuck with the system XD
Same with when it was house numbers, at first I deliberately entered similar-looking but wrong digits because I was worried it was helping to catch crime suspects, and I am not a grass. But after a while that didn't seem to work anymore, it was more certain about what the number shown was.
Those are Google's captchae for its own purposes. Don't look too far into it.
they're developing self-driving cars that will make google execs richer and make millions of people unemployed
High tech, low life.
