    I like how reactionaries think young people are weed monsters who [checks notes] drop a $50 daily on that weed. Tell me you don't speak to young people without telling me.

      These are the people who never smoke weed because they want to "function at maximum cognitive capacity at all times" and spend their weekends simping for their bosses and arguing about woman protagonists in video games.

        I feel like it isn't talked about enough just how miserable the lives of these freaks are. Totally joyless existence who's only pleasure comes from hurting others for a fleeting dopamine rush.

      This is the product of multiple decades of local police departments holding media conferences to announce that they just took a kilogram of weed "whose street value is half a million dollars" off the street.

    Do they really not know why they put your name on a coffee cup in a coffee shop?

    They think coffee is why millennials are poor, they think 18 year olds are millennials and they think a blue check mark is a necessary expenditure to be a functioning adult.

    [monkey's paw curls] Starbucks announces it will start charging an extra dollar to write your name on the cup

    Starbucks provides the service of coffee, Streaming services provide the service of shows to watch, nobody in their life spends $50/day on weed but if they did they're still getting something for their money. I'm not saying any of these things are great but at least it is an exchange of money for SOMETHING.

    Twitter will put a tiny .jpg next to your name on the free website that provides a service literally hundreds of thousands of websites will provide for free, what a service.

      Where else are you going to get cutting edge, as it's happening, reactionary hot takes about why lynching the homeless might be a good thing if you just thought about it for a minute.

        There is something magical about Twitter and Facebook, those freaks so often just type whatever crazy thing they are thinking and send it out to the rest of the world. That was so rare with old message boards, for example. People would type long posts, then read and edit them multiple times before posting. And they would edit out the crazy shit.

          Again, old forums and boards were actual communities, which were community moderated, so you naturally tended to act like a real human being or eventually get booted.

    It is hilarous how the time that these hogs have been baying for has finally come, and they're more unhappy about it than ever.

    The only real "perk" of getting twitter blue is pushing tweets and replies. Which is useful if you want to be a reply guy, but not for much else.

      They hoped it would give them the respect and prestige they feel like they have earned by being boomer weirdos working in America. And now that it’s not they are lashing out at others for not making their weird beliefs a reality.

      It’s the same as always happens with these people.

    The biggest dismissal is just that "verification" doesn't actually do shit. If you can verify yourself just by spending money, that's not actually proof you are real in any way. Johnny Trollman can make an account, spend $8, and then change the avatar and display name to Barack Obama. The exclusivity was/is paramount to the authentication.

    If you're going to try to sell a service at least make sure it does what you say it does.

    It's entertaining how Elon's fanboys have all adopted the strategy of harassing and berating people for not buying a product they don't want. Bunch of off-putting weirdos

    It's kinda sad because you can hear all the way from your home computer how fast the wheels are spinning in their head, trying to make synapses and finally connect the concepts of surplus value with commodity fetishism so they can tell millenials "this dumb reason is why you pay 3x for your coffee", but then a wrench violently interrupts the process and they spurt some stupid shit like "people pay starbucks to have their names badly scribbled on the cup with cheap sharpie"

    Its time we get a tiered checkmark system on Hexbear. Maybe we could combine it with a nft service ? Hexbear premium checkmarks only 6.99 (its cheaper than twitter)
