  • My understanding is, in the early days, you could send an SMS to Twitter to post, so the limitation was imposed by SMS and not necessarily Twitter.

    No. The twitter were build with the limit in mind, in fact it is its whole spiel.

    Why? It’s not thar deep.

    1. It games the attention span of viewers. You can read 3-4 articles before getting tired or going about your day, but you can guzzle infinite number of twits, because they are small, engaging and various

    2. It not only games the viewers but posters too. Maybe you want to write an article, or blog post, but you know it’s going to be long. So you better do it on the weekend. Or when you have more time. Which for many is never. But writing a couple sentences? Easy! You can do it on a bus! You can do it on the toilet! And, if everyone is on the same level as you, you don’t feel bad for keeping it short.




  • While it seems logical at first, when you consider it seriously it quickly falls apart.

    Even not considering such questions as “How do you enforce it?” (What are you going to do? Take the kid from them? That would quickly turn into a giant mess) or “How effective in actuality it is going to be?” (What stopping someone malicious to ace the exam and then abuse their kid without legal repercussions?) much simpler reason is that it would even further hinder the already falling birth rates. And most of the goverments and people don’t want that.






  • Like, I kinda just hate Cantonese. I mean, almost every interaction in Cantonese is with an abusive person.

    I mean, yeah, I think it’s completely valid in your case. I think people are very good at linking together the sound of something and the atmosphere it is being heard in. This is a very mild example, but I heard many many times the story of " I heard the music that used to be my alarm, and jolted in pain for a moment". So even in such simple cases the effect is strong, and you just had to go through terrible things, all accompanied with the same type of sounds. So yeah, it isn’t weird or bad, it’s just your associations with the awful things that you needeed to go through.

    I hope that one day you be able to grow much more warming associations with these sounds, or even just letting them go entirely and embracing another language as the powerful language of love.


  • I don’t remember where I heard it, but basically dogs do understand that they and their humans are different species, but think you’re their leader/master because you provide food and shelter.

    But cats are different - they do not understand that they are a different species to their human - they basically think that you are a big strange bald cat. That’s why they don’t fear you (because cats mostly don’t eat other cats) and that’s why they sometimes bring mice or some kind of food to you: they think you fucked up on a hunt or something, so they bring you “food” so you do not die.


  • The problem is not in the enctyption, nor the message - it’s in the unregistered broadcast in itself. It can interfere with some stuff and generally can be suspicious, thats why all amateur radio must be properly registered (the damage can be even bigger if you don’t know what your doing, so it is required to pass a test where I live to register an amateur radio).

    So you can brodcast anything you want, but if it’s unregistered, be prepared for consequences
