This really gives you an idea of the scope of the problem of public transportation in LA. My house is down in the lower left about double the pink line from where it starts in the middle cluster. Iā€™m only a 30 minute drive from downtown on a good day. But itā€™s a 1.5 hour train ride at any time.

I finally managed to get my twitter account permaā€™d for not Being Best to Malaria Trump and instead of ban-evading, I deleted the app. I have to say Iā€™ve been in a noticeably better mood the past several days, stupid time change notwithstanding. Maybe Iā€™ll stay off there.

I need to do the same. Iā€™m losing my mind.

What about it makes you lose your mind? I find that I often canā€™t bring myself to have an emotional reaction to anything on Twitter.

Iā€™m in a state of constant anxiety and rage. Probably not optimal.

If drinking provoked this reaction, youā€™d have been the focus of an intervention a long time ago. Quit that trash site.

I wish there was a way I could quit it but not lose my old tweets. I assume they disappear with me right?

Iā€™d like to be able to prove I was on the good side when millennials and Gen Z are going around with the guillotines.

Change your password to random bullshit so you canā€™t use the account.

Did that a few weeks ago. Caved due to coronavirus. I was fine with the normal level of political crap.

I just did it again - and blocked twitter.com on my computer. Iā€™ll do the same for work.

If that doesnā€™t work Iā€™m nuking the account.

We used to play at school during lunch. I used my paper route money to buy the Monster Manual, which at $9.95 was a big investment at the time.

We had this big summer convention which featured a number of sermons against things like meditation, astrology, and D&D. I got home that evening and grabbed my bag of dice and Monster Manual and took them out to the trash bin at the curb. As I was walking, a cloud passed overhead and there was a strong sustained gust of wind, like a scene from The Exorcist. The hairs on my neck were standing up and I ran and threw my dice down the sewer grate and shoved the MM into the trash bin, then ran into the house like I was being chased by the hounds of hell.

Good times.

Youā€™ll have this forum for that.

Actually the odds Border Patrol looks at my twitter feed and decides not to let me into the country in some future Trump dystopia is probably infinitely higher than the Gen Z guillotine scenario.

If youā€™re a fan of happy Matt Christman the newest Chapo is for you

My Twitter feed is almost all sports and poker. People use Twitter to follow politics?

Yes itā€™s handy for going into an instant blind rage.

I get that feeling.

A compromise might be to download your Twitter archive. Then nuke the account. Youā€™ll always have that archive to look at and show off if you really care LOL. I did that with Facebook eons ago and never looked back.
