The Proust of Twitter

Hello, my name is riskyy@ronny5 and I am addicted to comments boards.

'Don't bite. They're trolling again.'

"We broke up. I wanted a proprietary platform - she wanted open source."

"Honey, come quick! This guy in the comments section just solved the Middle East crisis."

"I had a great weekend... My Grandpa talked about the war again and my Dad about his most daring facebook comments!"

'I can watch T.V. shows on the computer, so who needs a TV?'

"I'm suffering the unbearable loneliness of being right on the internet."

"I know you're wrong, I just can't get the computer to say it yet."

"Not now, honey. Daddy's arguing with strangers about the sexual orientation of puppets."

"I learned my social skills on social media. . . what's it to you anyway you stupid cow?!"

Unsocial Networking.

"I can tell you about this article or you can just read the comments online."

"Whatever the politicians might decide, I'm well prepared because I've got enough hate comments for the next five years!"

"Thank you for participating in this poll, but because your answers do not coincide with your social media rantings, you're obviously lying."

"Hmm... I wonder what I can find to trigger my self-righteous indignation today..?"

"Now Eve wants free contraceptives."

Every man and his dog gets to have an opinion on social media.

"Great! Now I'm torn between whether to post rants on X or Meta."

'Don't internalise that simmering rage -- get it out of your system on website comments sections.'

"They're powered by Internet outrage."

"It's the first law of social media."

"Yeah yeah, nice, but how many online followers do you have?"

Humpty Dumpty sat on a paywall.

"You never told me what you thought of 'Wolverine.'" "I was waiting." "For what?" "For the consensus." "My own immediate reaction to any piece of entertainment could be biased. I need to read tweets and posts before I settle on a verdict." "If my view differs too much from the hive mind, it's not valid."
