I paid for my house (4 bedroom 2 bath on 7 acres) with cash from the sale of another house in a nearby town. I own my cars. I have an orchard, berry bushes and a large garden. I'm very frugal and pay with cash.

@TheWapplehouse It's amazing to me that people would pay $2500 for this kind of trash

This is the incredible value Dom Lucre brings to this platform

@travisakers I did that poop in a box thing. It's very easy and non intrusive

For the record, colonoscopy prep really sucks.

@TreeLakeRain Remember what Edward @Snowden said? "They usually don't expend resources on random individuals"

Can the CIA see me picking my nose?

You can't buy the latest shiny thing. Those days are past. You're on your own and you have to be ready for it. Being an adult is being able to pay your own way.

I hear young people complaining about not being able to afford a house. It's true, you can't buy a house at a young age with a low income and debts. You have to pay everything off, invest early, and buy a fixer upper in a rural area. You have to be frugal.

@RaminNasibov Humans evolved to benefit from other forms of communication other than language. For example, we use music from our birth as a method of communicating our needs

What's one thing humans will always do better than AI?

@Thirdworldisus @vintagemapstore oh, my lord! I never thought of that

@stringshike @vintagemapstore Well, there goes the neighborhood

Squirrel species found across the United States, mapped state by state, v.2.0 . Work by me.

@VraserX They're not trying to compete with YouTube, they're trying to compete with TikTok...note they want you to "record your own videos with voice over" which is exactly what TikTok users do

If you don’t treat your X account like a YouTube channel now, it slowly dies. And honestly, that’s sad. I never came here to be a YouTuber. I came here for thoughts, ideas, and real conversation. That’s what made X special.

@AMAZlNGNATURE In the wild, but they've attacked people in captivity

One of the biggest mysteries to me is how Orcas, the ocean’s most efficient predators, have never attacked humans in the wild… almost like they know something we don’t.

@RaminNasibov I don't know, but there weren't "coffee shops" around when I was a kid. There were restaurants, but you didn't go in one for coffee. There were diners where you could get a cuppa joe

What’s the difference between a specialty coffee shop and a regular one?

@Hot_Pepper76 We had a similar store, locally owned, called the "Movie Place". Simple name. It had all the right stuff, plus a whole lot of indie movies.

I know it was less convenient. You had to drive there, burn the gas, walk in, and hope what you wanted was still on the shelf. Convenience is not the same as a better experience. I still miss this. There was something fun about walking the aisles, picking up different movies, changing your mind, finding something you were not even looking for, and making a whole night out of it. That was the experience. Now you pay for a subscription, then get told to rent the movie anyway, and somehow it costs more than it used to. Tell me I am not the only one who misses that. And if you are too young to remember this, you missed out.

@earthcurated cold

What’s the first word that comes to mind when you see this ?❄️

@WallStreetApes Trump should just close it Nobody uses it any more I pay all my bills online

The US Postal Service plans to suspend pension payments to postal workers and civil servants to save money due to budget issues It will also suspend contributions into Federal Employees retirements “The agency says the temporary move could free up about $2.5 billion this year and won't impact current retirees in the short term.”

@lady_valor_07 Sewer/ceptic cleaner

Anyone know of a good job for someone who hates people?

@mark_k yeah it definitely feels different I'm seeing zero "conspiracy" posts (Epstein, etc) and lots of really good and thoughtful content

Is the new Grok based X algorithm already active or not, what do you think? My feed feels a bit different now, very international with posts in all sorts of languages (auto translation). Other than that, it's hard to tell?

Definitely NOT a networking site I came to Twitter, now X back in 2006 from Myspace, Two years prior, Facebook came out for college users only. You had to have an .edu email. I had one, so I could use it. It looked just like Myspace with less color. I remember those early days

Nikita’s been positive for X. But there’s a fundamental misunderstanding of why most people come here. People come to X for conversation and for the opportunity to make friends / network. They don’t come to X to watch hour long videos or be lectured. X is a networking site.

@dom_lucre I think he's disabled pricing on his website

I’ve been told this app isn’t the same already. I’m done defending myself, as I have seen time and God do before, they will reveal everything. Every change people begged for to hurt me hurt the entire app. Arrogance will be all of your downfall. I’m sitting at the top of my tower watching the world burn.

@nikitabier @BillyM2k I frequently use it to answer a question. So I'd like it to do a one line answer, or to speculate

@BillyM2k What if it showed a tooltip when tapping it and gave you some options? • Fact check: Is this true? • Summarize this • Explain like I’m five

i find myself using the “ask grok” button on the upper right of posts very frequently these days, especially since grok 4.20 feels a lot smarter than previous iterations it’s really helpful when something looks like fake news and i can quickly check if it’s been vetted anywhere

@MyLordBebo Good suggestions I'd like Notifications to be buried under "more" because I rarely look at them.

💸 The problem with X now is that they constantly change the rules, and it’s hard to figure out what is happening. A person can’t figure out if he should invest in video editing to make better content, or if he might be demonetized for some mistake, or if quick reposting is currently the money maker, or whatever. In addition, it’s not transparent what brings money, how much, and what does not—and these metrics change constantly. So you can’t just make an X strategy and then execute on it against some KPIs and a dashboard to earn money, at least not until X stabilizes its model and provides analytics on monetization. Now it’s just guessing. To b clear, I’m not complaining—X is paying people for tweeting. It’s just tough to make money because it’s unpredictable at this moment. So be patient and hope they stabilize a working model soon. They just run X with quick iterations like a startup. Anyway, enjoy the ride and remember: until recently nobody was paid, so every cent is an extra you would not get before. My feature requests: monetization dashboard and an author created community note, so that I can fix wrong information publicly myself. PS: Also, commentary was the strength of X, and just slapping this commentary in a voice-over would degrade the concept of X and TikTokify it. Most people just want to read a short digested version of a thing here and not watch a video blown out of proportion out of two sentences for the sole purpose of making a video so it can be monetized. But that’s just my two cents.
