I don’t use it, but i’ll forever call it Twitter.
Can we call it Twix
No, thats a candy bar. Love it or hate it, there’s no need drag a candy bar’s name into this shit.
Is it a candy bar…or is it two candy bars?
Since they’re two for me and none for you, I’d say two, but masquerading as one.
This is a question philosophers have pondered for centuries.
He looks high as giraffe pussy in that picture.
Joe Rogan, is that you?
…ya know, I’m 40 years old, and up until this point in my life I’ve never once considered what a giraffe pussy looks like…and my brain isn’t capable of doing so. Maybe that’s a good thing.
Ask and you shall receive:
NSFW, but not pornographic
Click here for a non-sexualized video of the birth of a baby giraffe. It’s pretty high!
Did she prolapse or is the baby just wearing the amniotic sac? Jesus, birthing hooves seems unpleasant
I’m not going to watch the video, are giraffe babies born with fairy fingers like horses?
I’m very grossed out after looking it up, but I can’t tell and I don’t want to watch it again, tbh.
black lips to match the tongue
They got a zoo in your town?
I don’t think I like where this is going…
… To the zoo?
Yeah it’s way too hot for a zoo trip. 🫠
It’s giraffe pussy, why do you think that’s hot?
Any hole is a goal.
They kick you out if you get too close to the animals genitals :(
It got bad enough they had to put up signs
Binoculars, buddy.
The bottom eyelids are a dead giveaway
What is deadnaming?
Intentionally using the former name (“dead name”) of a (typically trans) person with the intent to cause harm
Okay, now that you’ve edited your comment to clarify, it makes sense. The term dead seemed quite literal in your previous and original text, but now I can see it is a term for that part of society, when they change their name and leave the ordinary behind., and it is insulting to that person.
Since it wasn’t clear at the start, but that’s okay. Now it makes sense.
Here’s a deadnaming example that should resonate with conservative women…
You get married and take your husband’s name, but your parents insist on continuing to call you by your maiden name.
I wouldn’t just say conservative women, since this is a really good explanation for anyone. My cousin and partner changed their last name to something altogether different when they got married. For them, it wasn’t fair to the one for the other take the first’s family name, so they just chose a new one. It was really hard for the rest of the family (there’s a history with that family name that caused the hardship in its change, and the name holds a lot of weight to the entire extended family). Do you know what didn’t happen, though? Absolutely no one, despite how hard it was for them, called the couple by their former name once they announced the name change. Not even our grandmother, whose family name it was and was carried over from her deceased husband. One of their former friends (not even family), however, refused to accept the name change, and kept calling them by their former name. I would consider that dead naming, too.
Name changes are hard for the people around you. Not always for malicious reasons. For me, for example, when a trans friend changed names, I kept calling them by the name that was ingrained in my head for a decade. I caught myself, and fixed it during the conversations. I apologized the first few times, and was assured that no apologies were needed, since it was clear I was trying. It took a bit, but the new name has now been associated with them, and I no longer stumble. Some people, I’ve noticed, find it offensive, for some stupid reason, when someone changes their own name, and will absolutely not call them by it. I will never understand that part. It’s not your name–i’s their name ffs–just flippin call them by their preferred name.
I went off on a tangent, but all this to say that you offered a good, generic, applies-to-all-generations explanation.
I did not edit my comment. Why are you lying?
Look, if you did not, then that’s fine, but I completely read it differently earlier. To me, it read, as though you said, a dead trans person. That made it so niche that it was bizarre and incomprehensible that anybody would even understand it. But as people have commented below, I now fully understand.
I guess I hit reply. Started typing.
You hit edit whilst I was typing. I replied some minutes later.
Makes perfect sense to me.
That is incredibly niche. I’m sure 99.999% of the population would not know what that is, were it happening to them.
I mean, how many names of dead trans people would the general person on the street know?
It’s not specifically of dead trans people, they meant of all trans people. The term deadname typically refers to the birth name of a trans person that they no longer use.
It’s just some edgy troll thinking they are being clever
Yeah he’s not asking that question in good faith.
Oh… I’m not very good at determining if people are, so I tend to treat everyone like they are asking in good faith. Maybe at least someone else will see my comment and find it useful I hope.
You did good 😊
This is a good practice, i appreciate what you’re doing. If anything, i occasionally like to respond to posts like that in order to set the record straight for other people who may read the comment. Debating or disproving the commenter isn’t necessary as much as putting correct information right there next to their bullshit. Some people might buy their lies or faux good-faith, but anyone on the fence or unsure will hopefully benefit from having the truth repeated right next to the lie/bs.
Thank you for the clarification. Yes, I can see that the person I replied to has now edited their comment also be more specific. It literally read as though they meant someone who was literally dead, and was trans, which made absolutely zero sense.
That is incredibly niche.
No, that’s you thinking you’re funny when you troll so poorly.
I’m sure 99.999% of the population
Are more amusing than you.
No, the person I replied to has simply edited their comment to be clearer. They originally wrote it as though they meant a literal dead person.
The only thing I added was the first parenthetical to clarify that “dead name” was the term for the former name.
Reading “the former name of a (typically trans) person” as “the name of a deceased trans person” is still on you :/
Let’s say you knew someone named Bob, who later came out as a trans woman named Sue. If you insisted on calling her Bob instead of Sue, that would be deadnaming.
Excellent description. Thank you for the clarity. That makes more sense.
When saying the name of a trans person, it’s when you use their previous name from before their transition. E.g. saying Ellen Page instead of Elliot Page.
Presumably it can also mean just calling someone by their previous name that they prefer to leave behind, even if not trans.
I have no idea who Musk’s child is and no desire to look it up.
He (or she, I really don’t remember) became famous from receiving a really bad name.
Different child, I think. Vivian Wilson is Musk’s trans child who has disowned him. She’s 20 now. I don’t know what her birth name was but “X AE A-XII” was the one born in 2020 that was all over the news for having an absolutely insane name.
Though most of the rest of his kids names aren’t much better. “Techno Mechanicus Musk” is in that list, as is “Exa Dark Sideræl Musk”. He has 11 children and counting, and their names have gotten increasingly more unhinged as time goes on. So for all I know Vivian did have some insane name that she abandoned.
Anyway, she changed her last name and disowned her father when she came out as trans and he responded by posting all over Twitter that she had been, and I quote, “killed by the woke mind virus”. As in he literally told the world his child was dead, rather than publicly accept his daughter as the person she is.
Oh god I thought I couldn’t despise him more, what are those fucking names… Like he played some 40k and also wants to colonize mars so he made a kid named
adeptusmechanicus I guess? What an absolute imbecile
yeah I was thinking, is it the one with a random sequence of letters, digits and maybe even symbols that I vaguely remember existed at one point? But I still do not care.
This is Musk’s oldest child, she chose the name Vivian when she came out and despite being genetically related to Musk actually seems like a pretty cool person. She went through some legal procedure to remove herself from his family, and IIRC basically walked away from all of that generational wealth because severing connections with an abusive father was worth more to her.
Different kid, actually. IIRC he’s got a bunch of IVF kids with different women because apartheid emerald money is sexy or something, but he couldn’t be bothered to actually fuck them properly. Also couldn’t be bothered to be present in their lives as a dad properly either.
I still don’t use twitter
What about his child? The one with the name that qualifies as a good password?
Hey, good news, Elon. Most of us have gone from calling it “twitter” to calling it “that facist shithole that used to be twitter”.
Good job wasting 43 BILLION dollars only to see it’s traffic literally cut in half, you micro-penised shitstain on society. You will not be remembered as the genius your group of ass kissers tell you you are. You’ll be remembered as being dumber than a one brain celled orange tabby.
Well he did take a fairly neutral platform used to spread ideas and form movements and destroy it. So I’m sure the right and the rich are happy about that.
They are. This is the equivalent of a 19th century steel tycoon buying up newspapers all across the country. It’s an investment.
Nag, I just call it shitter when I’m bored of “Twitter”.
That’s giving him too much credit, orange cats are just dumb not evil. He sucks the life of of people, encourages the spread of disease and death. He’s a mosquito. Just an annoying, insignificant bug that will only be remembered for the discomfort he caused.
And it’s now less than one year salary because greed.
…who’s salary? I don’t make anywhere close to 43 billion a year. What job do YOU have???
They’re talking about Musk’s income…
You’re being optimistic. He won’t be remembered at all.
All the biggest disasters are remembered.
I thought we always called it “radical shithole”. Not much changed. It’s just SJWs making indie gamedevs suicide were replaced with Christians making everyone else suicide.
God I hate the pedo hunts, like yeah even if they find real freaks… The fact that so many who weren’t guilty had their lives ruined and in some cases ended over bullshit accusations is offensive, especially since evidence collected in an illicit manner is not admissible in court. Prosecutors call it “Fruit from the Forbidden Tree”
I’m still pushing Xitter, pronounced with the “shee” sound
That’s what I call it.
This is the way.
don’t worry, i don’t mention either name
Awww. Poor Twitler doesn’t like his propaganda arm called Twitter.
Twitter twitter twitter, you asshole
I was following various folks on there but never much posted.
Then, a couple weeks ago they implemented some kind of “live” feature that started spamming notifications like crazy. The only way to disable it was to disable user notifications, which means Twitter went totally quiet for me.
I’ve checked in a couple times in the interim, but looks like I’m pretty much done with that app. I guess it was Elon’s next step on the path to destroying Twitter.
Corporations are not people. They do not have a sense of identity. They do not deserve the same rights as humans. They are not capable of being affected by things like gender dysphoria. A corporation does not have feelings and is only a word we use to describe a collective form of actions made by ACTUAL humans.
You literally can not deadname a company. But Elon should understand the hypocrisy none the less.
X is still such a stupid fucking name. I feel cringe saying that.
I always just hear it referred to as xorg, which I pronounce “x-org”
I always pronounce the dot.
I pronounce it “the 2nd best windowing system currently used by GNU/Linux users”
I like saying it like “zorg”

It’s very “hacking, trenchcoats, and Muse are cool” isn’t it?
Like, yeah. Obviously this guy thought of it…
What did Muse do to deserve this?
I want to know but am afraid to search for it… I liked Muse but havent lept up with their recent works.
Other than Matthew banging all the models and the bassist getting help for alcoholism, I don’t know of any other news, other than they are fuckin rad!
I won’t. It will always be twitter, and he bought it because people made fun of him.
He offered to buy it as a joke, and was forced to finish the transaction because he had taken it too far by actually signing contracts and putting money down. He was gonna go “Just kidding” and pull out, but then the courts told him that this already constituted a legally binding sell and if he tried to back out now he’d go to jail for fraud.
That sounds like the courts are fucking stupid and ill-prepared to do their jobs.
As long as twitter.com redirects there, it’s twitter 👐
agreed, this is how i think of it
I’m gonna deadname his company for as long as he deadnames his kid :)
I will absolutely not call it anything but twitter
