Things I learned about myself from Twits on Twitter

[Feeling the Bern]

1: I am gay (my wife would be surprised to hear that)

2: I'm a loser who can't get laid (again, my wife would be shocked, as would all the women I dated before I got married in 2014).

3: I'm fat (man, that burns. I mean, I may be fat. . .never knew being 6'2" and 245 with 14% BF was fat. . .but these people are stupid and I can diet)

4: Trump is going to sue me (I live in Asia. Good luck serving those papers there)

5: I hate America (apparently, being a deplorable means you cornered the market on patriotism (tm)).

6: I'm not a historian (One of my BAs is in history, PhD in Chinese History - dissertation on the life of the Chinese under the collaborist government of Wang Jing Wei after the Rape of Nanking - producer/screenwriter that specializes in period pieces. . .worked at the Rape of Nanking Museum for four years, field work with Rape of Nanking/Jeju Massacre/Terracota Warriors and university history professor for seven years in Hebei in China and Jiangsu in China)

7: I bought my wife (I'm sure my in-laws would be surprised to hear that)

8: I married a Chinese "whore" because I'm a loser that couldn't find a real woman (love that xenophobic bigotry)

9: I live in my parents basement (apparently, my parents live in Wuxi with me and not in Arizona where they actually live)

10: I don't know anything about politics (My second BA is in Political Science. . .one of my Master's Degrees is in Geospatial Sciences, concentrating on urban development and land use. . .just because I am not one of these paid pundits on TV doesn't mean I know nothing, Mr. Deplorable)

Twitter is a cesspool. I am on there simply for professional reasons. I post a little in politics and these people come out of the woodwork. That "block" button is nice. It ends all bullshit quickly.

1. Jesus...that is rough.

I ignore ugly responses...just delete them.

2. Good grief!

Too bad you even need to be on Twitter. That's one social media I haven't connected with and probably never will.

3. 140 characters is all those people can deal with. Twitter is a cesspool

[tymorial]

4. I have never understood the appeal for twitter

Or for social media in general. I have a Facebook account but honestly that was created because it was recommended by a headhunter who told me that people without a presence on social media were viewed with suspicion by some companies.
