It's a lot of work to vet new followers. Let me help:
If you EXPECT a follow back, don't follow me.
If you have 12 followers but follow 4.5 thousand, don't follow me.
If you have no posts and follow thousands, don't follow me.
I'm not here for a follower count. I'm not here to be data scraped. TY

This really gets at the scale of OpenAI's ambitions, a world in which it's not just a chatbot living inside a browser but an entire platform unto itself. from @willknight.bsky.social @laurengoode.bsky.social and @thiccreese.bsky.social

Re: the male loneliness epidemic, there is *still* not enough emphasis on how many heterosexual girls and women are staying single out of self-preservation, because the sexual norms that many heterosexual boys and men have adopted are exceptionally dangerous.
