okay idk how much of this was in response to 's whole "don't QT bad takes" thing but now i'm actually getting annoyed about the reverse, where people are subtweeting a distributed cloud of takes and i'm frustrated that they aren't being more specific

the first tweet itself does the thing i'm annoyed at other people for doing so here's a specific example. i don't want to QT but i can still screenshot. i do not agree with this insofar as he's talking about my tweets, and insofar as he's talking about someone else idk who

i literally cannot find the most recent example that annoyed me to either QT or screenshot but it was something about "(post)rats" badly reinventing things from first principles instead of reading books and i'm like
1) why not both
2) WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

i want to reject the claim that "(post)rats" are a unified cohesive group with a unified cohesive pov on anything and as long as people are going to talk shit i want people to nut up and talk shit about *specific other people and tweets*

i'm probably going to regret writing this but let's give being more annoyed a shot and see where it goes

11 years ago on /new/ we got so tired of the line "Some members of X group say or do Y, but others say or do Z, is X group stupid??!?" that we would all explicitly call it out and move on.

And while that's more narrow, I hope I learned something about attributing beliefs or behaviors to groups

I would have called out your tweets directly, as you did to one of mine just now, but I didn't do it because I don't really believe in calling out one Twitter user for something that is a wider trend or phenomenon. Apparently you do.
