Twitter is AWESOME

it is pretty good. Fair critique of West, too.

 

I very much enjoyed this humorous look at, basically, what every argument on Twitter now looks like, always.

The 29 Stages Of A Twitterstorm In 2018

 

I got into the 20s before I realized it was satire, and not an actual incident. That’s quite telling when it comes to today’s social media climate.

 

I know a bigger Stephen King joke: The first musical version of Carrie. It didn't get out of previews.

 

You do you, guy.

First tweet...fine. 2nd/3rd/4th? Overkill and whining.
I went to a Pan-Asian place a few weeks back and just wanted some of their roasted brussell sprouts as a snack. Seriously love those things.
I went in around 7 and placed an order. They were out, so I left. I made a joke on Twitter about having to go next door to McDonald's to eat fries since they didn't have what I wanted. The owner contacted me and added an order of sprouts to the app that you can order from. So hey, free food! Which is nice for just making an joke.
Damn...now I want brussell sprouts.

But yeah, live tweeting for a burger is sorta dickish. But also the explaination was overkill. Say sorry, refund...move on. Not our problem you were short staffed. That should have been addressed at ordering if it was such a problem.

 

No, the burger place doesn't owe this guy dick. It's a burger joint, not the air traffic controllers. They were shorthanded that day. Of minimum wage burger flippers. Jesus f'ing Christ, the balls on these millenials. Go get your own fucking burger.
And roasted Brussels sprouts. People hitching about their food, or lack of it, on Twitter and Yelp is a scourge.

O ryly?

I knew how old this old fart was. I just like it that millennials are bitched about constantly on this site for acting entitled. It is pretty much impossible to act more entitled then this asshole, in a series of 140-character messages.

 

a - like I said...I made a joke. I had no intention of getting free food. It wasn't bitching.
b - he ordered food. The burger place presumably delivers. That did not happen. That's on them. It's a business transaction and it was not done successfully. It's not entitlement to assume your business transaction is done properly.
b.5 - like I said, he was being a dick by overtweeting.
c - 280 characters in a Tweet now...come one man, get with the times.
