am i wrong or is twitter trying to use ai slop to sell their services

this background image does not look real to me

yeah spending 250 dollars in ads on a website that doesn't even care to fork out 20 bucks for a stock image is definitely a great idea

paying for overwatch in bitcoin in 2016 might have not been my best financial move

i feel like a big part of my (pop) culture background has developed like it is today mostly because growing up in the early 2000s and consuming a lot of TV meant that i didn't always choose what I was watching and was exposed to different stuff all the time (moreso since I had to split the TV in my bedroom with my sister since for the longest time we shared a bunk bed and we had different taste in media pretty often leading to fights on who got to hold the remote)

on the surface tiktok/reels/yt shorts does a similar thing with an endless scrolling feed BUT it's constantly tailoring it specifically for you and what it thinks you might be interested in based on what you have already watched, creating a sort of echo chamber

i am not saying oh i miss the good old times but idk it's cool when you don't just keep seeing the same stuff over and over again

i think normal youtube (not shorts) is still pretty good for this at least

finally watched "one for the road" yesterday and holy shit that ending got me EMOTIONAL, i'll miss the trio

the end of the grand tour feels kinda personal for me because the top gear trio (and most importantly clarkson's way of talking about cars) is the biggest main inspiration for what i do on youtube personally, trying to have fun and tell stories about something but without only focusing on the one thing but trying to accurately (and entertainingly) portray the context and era and everything

i know me and him do not look or sound alike and even have completely different opinions on some stuff but i owe him what is now effectively becoming my career at this point

OMG THIS IS SO CUTE this is a literal redemption arc in one image lmao

also happy to have improved, i never settle and always try to do better in general :3

talked about this a few times but i have been speaking english since i was born basically, it's been my secondary/tertiary "main" language in that sense, but accent-wise, growing up in another country, i am still improving daily, so yeah happy to have improved in that/confidence too lol

when i heard about the healthcare ceo killer having left "delay", "deny" and "depose" written on the shell casings i imagined the entire thing like an 80s arnold movie with him saying a one liner like "YOUR INSURANCE HAS BEEN DENIED" with the strongest austrian accent you have ever heard

this video is SO GOOD and oh my god totally spies is such a core memory for me

i was apparently born to be typecast as a generic european spy in some random y2k movie

one of my older relatives (currently living in italy) is getting tiktoks from SILVIO BERLUSCONI STAN PAGES (no they are not ironic)

the guy is dead and this is just old foreign politics now so I might as well put my degree to good use and tell you a story

Berlusconi was fucking wild (i am not talking about his actual policies or anything, just about the character/aura/vibes and why people loved AND hated him),
you can literally just look up any of his public speaking events and you will find at least one instance of him saying something quotable (for better or worse, the guy did and said some HORRIBLE stuff pretty often)

this was his answer to people on the left criticizing him for being incompetent/being a landlord that was in their opinion only trying to help the rich pay less taxes:

like how the fuck do you flip an attack like that into a flex this is genuinely wild
