I can't imagine being so broken that I enjoyed engaging with brands on Twitter. When steak-umms pretended to be a depressed millennial a lot of people were replying with poo poo like "thanks, I needed to hear this today". I have been homeless and desperate before but if I ever start looking to brands for hope I will absolutely blow my brains out.

I haven't been on SA for years but the person who gave me my previous av as a joke felt guilty for doing so and decided to get me a non-shitty av

The only thing I've liked is when Wendy's tried to insult steak ums and got roasted.

Just that one time a year or two ago.

I checked and they also have write-ups and stuff of all the restaurants theyre featuring, so its a lot more respectful than some random coffee company saying "we LOVE broads, type AWOOGA into the coupon code for a discount"

Thinking of it as interacting "with the brand" is conceding more than we should. People on Twitter interact with social media personnel posting on the brand's account.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Deltora Quest is cool. Also strangely popular in Japan to the point they made an anime of it.

They are good - well, BotL thinks they're trash, hopefully that's a point in their favor for you - but at least I think they're good and the TBB consensus on them is that they're pretty good.

I mean, not perfect. But he picks his premise and rolls with it.

I read a chapter of the first one and it's not bad. It's definitely on the pile for when I finally finish Deadhouse Gates

lowtax is absolutely right when it comes to twitter's lack of consistency in banning people because of their lack of guidelines. why is he so desperate to be an important figure there?

it's hilarious that slowbeef is verified and lowtax is ban-on-sight
