Probably should have waited until after Chipotle, as it would have come out even quicker!

The only thing needing a pardon in this thread is your lack of punctuation in the original skeet. 😂

Do you need one?

I'm currently at 2 for 3 but you'll have to figure out which one I'm still doing.

For the past couple of days I have had the random uncomfortable laugh as my brain replays the events over and over. I just can't believe I did that.
Moral of the story: Don't drink water.

I go back to my seat, still mortified. One of the people from the other table comes over after a minute and gives me a hug and insists it was fine. My group tries to comfort me and tells me that now the other group has a fun story to tell.

Finally, I decide I have to go apologize. I stand up, turn around and walk over to their table. I apologize profusely. They have a bit of a good laugh but I'm still melting into a puddle.

Fast forward some minutes and I discover that that other table *wasn't* part of our group. I've randomly walked up to a table and stolen their water. The other table doesn't really say anything to us. I'm dying in my chair. I'm feeling so terrible. People are telling me its ok.

Reported to moderation. They can figure it out. 🤷🏼♂️

Can we just settle on "Anything but 'tweets'"?

My app calls them posts and replies, so that's what I shall call them. 🤷🏼♂️

How about we block the 3 Ts:
TikTok
Temu
Tw*tter

By day, I don't do much coding, more scripting. I've got some local php and js apps, but haven't really dived into other languages lately so it's been a good excuse to get into python more, learn Django, etc. I'm not getting paid in cash, but not everything of value is measured in cash, so win to me

..unless you meant more web-centric artistic projects. I interpreted your usage of "artistic" fairly liberally. My bad. 😂

Yep. Currently working on some discord bot stuff for a game community I mod. It's a nice change of pace from the day job. Won't ever be paid for it. Wasn't even asked to do it. Just jumped in and started writing.

Ok, I'm willing to fully declare for the "Block early, block often" camp since it seems all my little mental caveats aren't all that big of a deal. 😂

oh, I do that. I check their replies and see if there's a pattern. Sometimes a person misunderstands a post or has a bad day. It happens. When you're consistently a jerk, you're gone.

When I got to this post, you got an audible "You go girl!" from me, just so you know. I'm so happy you stuck with school/your dreams.

oh, mute over block because mute gives me an opportunity to reconsider, but at least I'm given the choice to see versus the dichotomy of "it's just in my face or it doesn't exist at all."

They ended up blocking me instead so at the end of the day, you're probably right. I'll just have to be clubbed over the head by it a few more times.

I had someone that didn't follow me comment on an unthreaded post and really kinda came at me. They boiled down some of my statements to the point where they weren't even my statements and I didn't block because I had to understand where they were coming from. Probably dumb on my part. 🤷🏼♂️

Blocking outright trolls? Done deal. Blocking because there's a bit of friction... I cringe. I want *some* friction because it helps me know I'm not in an echo chamber or just seeking what I want to hear.
Obviously you do you. I'm not trying to tell you what to do. Everyone has their own system.

I wish I could bring myself to this. 😑 I often settle for mute right now.

I was going to make a joke about "When is Wicked 2 gonna hit?" but then caught myself because there *is* a Wicked Pt 2 already coming out next year. 🤣 Something Something Wicked 3 Something I guess.

The media preview lists the locations that I had seen.
I'd be curious how enforceable it would be to say a company must monitor all of the replies on their social media posts as a means for notification.

Good to know regarding CCPA. What I had read all mentioned either an in person request with the vendor, phone call to the vendor, email to vendor, or a web form via the vendors website. There wasn't any mention about a skeet/tweet/other social media post.

Interesting.
I apologize for coming across as a dick earlier. There's literally many dozens of the exact post text I originally replied to earlier with many thinking posting that is enough without putting in the rest of the work. I should have handled it differently.
