Reply to Twitter’s $20 verification charge, because you should pay Twitter to promote Twitter. by Core1989

I never understood Twitter. I tried it years ago, but the space limitations were so annoying. Trying to craft a statement that fits, and having to cut words out of a sentence, hoping it still made sense when chopped up. Why?!?

Then, I tried it again, solely because I kept hearing about all these wild and crazy Trump tweets. But using Twitter didn’t add anything, as the tweets were always discussed on the news, anyway.

Seems people mainly use Twitter hoping to get news a minute or two before it breaks through official channels, despite the reduced reliability of the information. It’s all about speed.

Reply to TIL The Temple of Debod is an ancient Egyptian temple that was dismantled and rebuilt in the center of Madrid, Spain. It was moved due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam and the consequent threat posed by its reservoir. by iboughtarock

Not to be confused with Temple of the Dog, the group formed to pay tribute to Mother Love Bone frontman, Andy Wood, after his death by OD, featuring Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder, and the (edit) Mother Love Bone musicians, who along with Eddie would become Mookie Blaylock, before being forced to change their name to Pearl Jam.
