There's nothing helpful or insightful about saying "hey, check out this information that's pertinent to the discussion".

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Yeah, it’s not called “fake verification emoji” but that’s the function it’s trying to serve.

The Sega Dreamcast was pretty cool. I cannot remember any games for it because I was only allowed nintendo products as a child, but it seemed cool when I played it at other locations.

The Berserk game on it was pretty rad, plus like Power Stone and a bunch of real good arcade stuff.

I'm not up on current WWE. Is there some repackaged bad gimmick of some recognizable player that brought on this?

I don't think he's talking about anything specific, he just wanted everyone to know those darn viewers ruin everything in WWE these days. He made a post a while back about the Montreal Screwjob 'tricking' people into thinking Vince was evil.

Probably Raw treating Piper Niven as an unidentifiable brand new competitor despite having been a perennial NXT UK Women’s Champion Contender and someone who’s had deep runs in the Mae Young Classic.

Apparently a calm and respectful "this is a bad example, Mick explains what he thought of the gimmick in his first book" tweet is as "jackass" being the opposite of "being helpful and insightful." At least if you're Rob's friend, Angela.

Why would you post something on Twitter and then get mad that people are responding to it? Isn't that the entire loving point of the app?

I don't understand wanting to be verified on Twitter. Especially not so much that you'd fake it. All it does is that it makes it so that your bad takes can be traced to you directly instead of some cool persona.

THEY HAVE VERIFICATION REQUESTS OPEN AGAIN. ANYONE CAN DO WHAT I DID.

But enough of that!

Rob has elected to go with "I WAS BEING SARCASTIC!" even though his friends were replying as if he wasn't being sarcastic about the idea that current fans are uniquely negative or the first to complain online or whatever and then he replied back in kind:

I would screenshot this one person's tweets that I wasn't following, not tag them, and just laugh at their stupid opinions. They actually paid a lawyer to send me a cease and desist order, despite the lawyer practicing about 6 states away from me and not being on the bar anywhere near where I lived.
