I received a nasty email from someone I blocked on BlueSky (blocks are public). I will not be replying, but this person has actively called for my death and libeled me with lies. So why would I want to have anything to do with such a hateful cunt?

I might reconsider if the person had offered an apology. But instead it was all rage at being blocked. I haven't even PAID ATTENTION to this person in years. You don't exist in my universe because of YOUR behavior. Not my problem.

Falling into the more annoying category of Cold Call BS today, I had an email from a Cybersecurity Sales "Executive", with the subject line "test", several image links (undownloaded as our Org policy is to block by default) referring back to their sales lead generation tool, and the individual's contact information.

Annoyance multiplied x2 because their focus is Cyber MSP.

It got a reaction of course, just not the one that their org may want...

How to get #blocked fast: send me a follow request and, while I'm vibe-checking your account, tell me I'm sexy and my photo would be better with my top off. If you want speedier service, don't forget the 🥵 emojis.

Flirting is like playing Jenga. First you need to invite someone to play with you (or accept their invitation). Then you start from a safe base and take turns slowly raising the stakes for each other. Each move should increase the tension in the air a little bit, make your partner(s) a little bit shakier and more excited. The game is most fun when it's played to maximize that wide-eyed, giggling, "omg it's so close" feeling for everyone.

Coming in cold with "🥵🥵🥵 take your clothes off" is like trying to play Jenga with boxing gloves on—you'll get one turn, the game will already be over, and no one is going to want to play with you.

Social media can be a strange place. I just got accused of not being American—because I argued the U.S. federal government should follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Why would I care about U.S. accounting standards if I weren’t American? Then I got blocked. Who knew honest math was so controversial? • #Accounting #GAAP #FederalBudget #Transparency #FiscalResponsibility #PublicFinance #HonestAccounting #OnlyOnSocialMedia #Blocked #MathIsPolitical #HonestMath #BecauseMath
