The fun part is .. when you change your profile picture if you have a PAID membership, it automatically sends your account for review, takes off the checkmark and locks you out of changing your profile picture .. FOR UP TO A WEEK!

So yes .. people are paying to NOT be able to change their profile pics on a fucking social media platform 😂😂😂

I’ve been super active on twitter for a little over 2 years. It has absolutely done a fucking nose dive after Elon took over. So much dumber now.

there is so little real value there nowadays though. it’s all memes and shitposting .. even at the high level. at least that’s what’s popular. there are lots of valuable things being said and shared on the DL, but it’s all drowned out by the loudest dumbest voice.

It’s a little different than that, worse. Musk is basically making it almost necessary to stay relevant. They are starting to filter comments and posts prioritizing checkmarks. I’m on Twitter a lot, you kinda have to have it for people to take you seriously now. I don’t have it on my personal account.

“imagine: realistic photograph, portrait, 85mm, black and white, smiling, shallow depth of field, striking eyes” is not art

you can absolutely tell. maybe in the beginning when AI stuff was just coming out it was hard to tell because we didn’t know what to look for. but now it’s super obvious if you’ve seen enough images.

early to mid 20’s were tough .. lots of uncertainty, falling short and feeling lost. now I’m 41 and I might have had the toughest year of my life .. lots of uncertainty, falling short and feeling lost plus a family.
