Because I know there's Green Party people I know still on this cesspit, I'll repeat this post here: I feel like it should be easier to find a political party's actual policies than their shop selling t-shirts with slogans on them. Bit disappointed with the Scottish Greens, TBH.

@jackreacharound @IfindRetards @IfindWankers That's a long tweet and a lot of emojis for someone who is pretending not to care.

@StepneyHammer My man, you're a whole five years older than me and ranting like the triggered snowflake that you are. Me putting you on a list on twitter is enough to provoke this and you don't think you're a special sensitive little snowflake? I disagree, strongly.

@BootsVernon This reply only confirms the post you're replying to. Good work!

FYI, if you fancy some easy trolling, boomer terf men are all over Twitter and have no idea how the internet works. I assume they would have learned by now if their toxic opinions (or, in one dude's case, doing time for murder!) hadn't alienated everyone they know under 40.

@TheMobRules73 @DreyfusJames This seems to have really triggered you. Maybe step away from the computer, social media can be incredibly damaging to people of your age and you're probably at higher risk of a stroke if you get too upset.

Just FYI: there is no ethical way to use the current crop of LLMs which are trained on stolen content (lithub.com/how-is-meta-ge…) and abusive scraping (thelibre.news/foss-infrastru…). The better the product of those LLMs the more stuff they've stolen to train on.

@thetimmorgan Those were my favourite pens for taking notes/aimlessly doodling in the margins at uni.

@KatieInBoston1 I mean, for fuck's sake, you're replying to a thread where I was offering a 3d printer for free. What the fuck is wrong with you people?

Hi makers local to Edinburgh/Fife, I still have this 3d printer free to a good/indifferent home. It's been a good workhorse printer for me, just needs a bit of care to get back into use - or use it for bits for some other fun project.

Dear local people I know who still use Twitter, I fucked my 3d printer so hard I had to buy a new one, so I'm giving away the old broken one. It's only a _bit_ broken, so someone smarter than me could probably fix it. Details here: mastodon.social/deck/@semantic…

@KatieInBoston1 "please go"? Look, you came onto my replies with your personal agenda and feels that you've confused with objective reality. So why don't you please go and - with all the respect you're due - go and play hide-and-go-fuck-yourself.

@KatieInBoston1 @BenGunnEx @atwas00 ...I'll take my wife's opinion on that over some internet rando I've never heard of before. She's been living with MRKH for a few decades now, set up the first online support group for it, etc, etc. I'm aware that some people with MRKH have strong 'I R ALL WOMAN!!!' feelings.

@Sixty6Webb TBH, I wasn't offended in the least, the opportunity for cheap lols was just too good to pass up.

@BenGunnEx @atwas00 You absolutely do not speak for all intersex people, and additionally you're an ignorant moron. The surgery used for, eg, women with MRKH who choose to have vaginal reconstruction is *exactly* the same as 'bottom' surgery for trans women.

@BenGunnEx @atwas00 I don't think bioprinting is at that stage yet, but won't it be a great time for trans and intersex people when it is? I mean, you're to much of an idiot to understand that almost all trans healthcare is also used for other people as well, so you probably don't get it.

@just_Liles You need to learn what a 'username' is and how the internet works. And probably make sure you retain good counsel for the next time you threaten people in public.

@QcWynter For the longest time I intentionally didn't add women to the list because I felt it was crossing a line, but these days? I just don't care. Terfs, maga, etc, I just don't feel the need to be polite to fascists and their enablers any more.

@belhavenbear You'd think, but I literally cannot even remember what the trending topic was that I found his post in, or what his post was. It's clearly upset him enough to try and set his followers on me, but fortunately for me his influence is small enough that it's only funny.
