  Seems to me like you comprehend it perfectly!

  I also never really saw the appeal. And I closed the account I’d barely used since 2007 (When it was primarily for announcing you were pooping and Lifehacker told me you could make lists with remember the milk) when the first buddy bought it.

  I occasionally tried to use it for getting near real time news about things, but I guess I sucked at following the right people.

  Now, with privacy badger, I never have to interact even when sites embed xits (if we’re going with xitter, then it’s full of xits, right?).

  This just in: scientists disprove validity of thought experiment; philosophers remain concerned that they’ve missed the point.

  I thought you only had to join if you can’t beat them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do all languages share the same intonation for questions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if it’s more because we frame the question by altering the structure to indicate the appropriate response.

  We could just as well ask “you are from where?” Or “your name is what?” That matches the expected sentence structure of a response, and the natural pitch rises.

  I got my pet meds handed to me in a paper bag and somehow managed to give myself a paper cut getting the cat into the car while holding this bag. It was the first paper cut I’ve had in years, and my reaction was “I wonder if this is still recyclable.” Still better than plastic bags.

  You’ve forgotten Reader’s Digest.

  And we can’t forget the episode of Seinfeld where George takes a book into the bathroom.

  Absolutely.

  Sidenote: I keep seeing “xitter” being used, is it safe to assume it’s pronounced “shitter”?

  This article seems to omit the obvious solution to the same problem with diesel.

  You’ve hit all the great ones, most of which were already available.

  A billion a year is something most people would trade for.

  I mean, I’d be done after 1, but hey, that’s just me.
