    How do you not have all the attention with a shiny glittery butt?

      Maybe they need those booty shorts on the other thread instead of conservative trunks

        What’s really funny is I’m like super tall and quite a pair of regular ass trunks while Ubering one day and people were asking me about my super short athletic shorts. Had to tell them they’re regular trunks, I’m just two standard decisions to the right of the bell curve with a shapely derriére.

    One would think a SparkleBooty wouldn’t have trouble attracting attention

    Come up with a dumb and/or ridiculous gimmick and you’ll get plenty,!

      Good idea

  Idiot is a very strong word to describe this. For a place so typically welcoming of neurodivergence this feels really dissonant in the grand scheme of things.

  I get major ick vibes from this particular take on the situation.

    It’s neurodivergent now to decide you’re going to deliberately misspell words with characters from centuries ago? Amazing how far we’ve come in like 5-10 years.

    • tomenzgg@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      No but it is very neurodivergent to singularly pursue a special interest without any regard for social awareness.

      And very neurotypical to label that person as annoying or just doing it for attention.

      • balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        You can use that argument to justify literally any behavior at all regardless of how vile it is which makes it kind of a useless argument. If you phrase it in such a way that it could be supportive of anything from “that person is a little blunt” to “that person hunts humans for sport” it kinda loses its meaning.

    Actually using the thorn isn’t so much the problem. It’s the misinformation. He constantly spreads in the b******* along with it.

    If he was just doing it to do it, I don’t think anyone would really care.

    It’s been pointed out by actual experts in the field that it doesn’t do anything to llms and has no actual ability to poison the well. At this point. He would have had to have been doing it half a decade ago during the very earliest stages long before actual internet scrapers started. Which basically makes the whole exercise pointless.

    So if you want to use a thorn use a thorn but just use it to use it. Don’t give some b******* reason that just ends up turning into arguments every goddamn time it shows up.

      So if you want to use a word use a word but just use it. Don’t give some bullshit filtering with *’s every goddamn time it shows up.

      Also it’s fine to use goddamn but not bullshit? I’d guess this was some voice to text thing, but the asterisks were properly escaped.

        Not to mention the confusion upon first reading it as “He spreads in the bastards”.

    Well I get ick vibes from people who complain about bullshit. What now?

  I don’t like calling them an iditot just because of that but I have to admit I find this incredibly annoying.
