        We do have to account for exaggeration to the point of nonsense though. I think @tweak@feddit.uk has a point, esp. in their subsequent comment.

        And while you’re technically correct, this guy has been shitting on human rights for long enough to get a little mild counterbalance in return, even if it’s just a product of his imagination.

        Thinking of all the women (some underage) he abused, and men (some underage) he fucked up, I viscerally hate this guy and approve of any abuse that will get the whino out in him.

        Sure.

        But I don’t inherently believe his claim that he isn’t getting clean water.

        I’m much more inclined to believe that he is shitting himself though, just not for the reason he claims. “I didn’t poop my pants because I’m facing the consequences of my actions, it’s because I’m being abused!!!”

        His conditions are far more likely to be compliant than the conditions he forced others to endure. The benefit of the doubt doesn’t swing one way here, he’s hung it up that way. He is a serial liar and everything he states should be questioned.

        In any case, my beer betting money is on him not getting deported. If he weren’t a US citizen I’m sure it would happen, but he paid for his Trump gold card, and I’m sure they need some proof it’s worth it to sell more.

      Yeah, this. Like those whiny types that got in-celled after Jan6.

      I seriously don’t understand why taking their phones away is not the first order of punishment (after their guilt has been proven beyond reasonable doubt of course).

    The deplorable treatment of prisoners is entirely independent of the soulless sexual violence of the Tate Brothers.

    This is not any kind of actual social justice. It’s merely a single high profile individual getting caught in the same misery machine as hundreds of thousands of other people.

      While I understand the desire for these asshats to suffer, hearing of the deplorable conditions is a reflection of the US prison system as a whole and should not be celebrated.

    I really don’t like ratio squarkers. As in: the first person to bring up ratios in a twitter thread. Having to read that childish crap is hard, to be honest.

      Ratioing means nothing. It’s so easy to do. Of fucking course accounts with large follower counts are going to have lots of inactive followers, and of course replies to that account are going to be disproportionately visible and thus get a lot of likes.

        True. The exception is maybe when world leaders say something, but you can never really be sure someone hasn’t artificially roused all their followers to “ratio” them

    Derek Guy mostly writes about clothes. But he takes some time now and then for other pursuits.

      I think a lot of twitter posters do lists like that when they want to drive home a point by listing many bad things all at once.

      'tis drawn from the bullet list after all

      He’s able to complain and be heard. They were locked away to be used and forgotten for others to profit on their misery. He has quite a way to go.

        Slightly off topic ramble:

        I was doing an online course on the precise, forgotten rules of English grammar, punctuation and writing style. One of the final exercises was “take any extract you want and rewrite it in a more concise and direct way that conveys all the original meaning minus the decorative and unnecessary language.”

        So I went to get a random newspaper article, which would be more challenging than just a book. This one about the Tate brothers’ arrest caught my eye. And what was so notable about it was that, stripped to it’s barest and most essential information, it’s hilariously clear how guilty they are - even when the article itself is politely dancing around that and full of the lawyers’ denial of their guilt.

        I did know they were guilty beforehand, but working with the data helped me to consolidate that understanding, and also opens one’s eyes to how extensive their crimes were.

        Would recommend this exercise to anyone who doubts the Tate Brothers’ guilt, if only there was any way of me contacting such people.

      what people haven’t mentioned, I don’t think, is the original intent of the phrase to “get ratio’d” was to have more people reply to your tweet than like it. As it’s significantly more effort to write a reply than to hit like it usually indicated the person had said something foolish and people were rushing to correct them rather than simply like the tweet

      Get significantly more reaction/likes/upvotes to your reply than their original comment did.

      Greater ratio of likes vs them.

        Yes, but IMO the comments need to be at odds. I wouldn’t consider your reply here a ‘ratio’.

          Originally, yes; but language evolves.

          Additionally, some people will attempt to “ratio” a tweet themselves. This entails a person showing up under a disagreeable tweet and betting that their post will receive more favorable statistics than the original post.
