    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.

      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).

      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.

      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

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

      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.

        We do have to account for exaggeration to the point of nonsense though. I think @[email protected] 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.
