The only reason Bluesky is worse is because X is a sewer trap filled with nothing but NPCs and a few Barstool personalities. Amazing to me that people still use X for discourse.
This is almost all NPCs

Buddy. The left is mean to you on the internet. The right is ushering Christian fascism and the death of democracy and destroying the lives of people.
Bill Kristol and Adam Kinzinger aren't left-wing but they can recognize where the threat is and dedicate their voice to that effort.

Three names but no brains

Certainly a take.

You’re replying to NPCs

Yes, I am an NPC. Got me. So smart.

Just call us a racial slur already Tim. This is taking forever.

You're such a strange, hollow person. I bet deep inside you loathe yourself.
How's that for NPC, turdburglar?

Feel free to fuck off then? I'm not understanding your problem.

This is quite a spiral, TC.
Are you going to write about it in your fifth autobiography?

There is nothing more NPC than a centrist who thinks they are uniquely objective because they have an uncanny ability to pretend everything happening is a game of both sides being equally culpable for an authoritarian regime

“Siri, how can I get ratioed harder than anyone ever has?”

This is why people don’t like you Thomas, you refer to human beings as bots

Sorry you'd rather post amongst Nazis, quacks and Scammers than have a few people tell you that you have a bad opinion, usually be ause yoh have a bad opinion
Never get how people who complain have skin so thick on twitter while here you cry from bejng brushed by grass

You're just bad at writing.
-
This is just a disgusting way to talk about other human beings and you demean yourself by doing it. Would say a website’s user base was full of “cockroaches”? I would hope not.
-
lmfao you sound like my 12 year old
-
The true perfect ratio
-
god damn you are just the whiniest little bitch
-
Thank you for your ill-informed, self-serving opinion.
NEXT!

is it still a "ratio" if a purely ignorant and insulting comment yields 86 replies and not a single like?
-
Hahahahahahahahahah! What a fricking idiot!
-
"People I don't like aren't people"

You seem like a stupid fucking asshole sheesh

I'm still batting 1.000 with my one simple rule: Anyone who unironically uses the term NPC can be completely ignored and nothing of value would be lost.

What you say when you're in a house of mirrors

Let me guess: the few PCs are united in fawning over your brilliant posts

There is no greater sign of someone being morally, intellectually, and philosophically bankrupt than calling people 'NPCs' for disagreeing with them.
-
You are the problem. Not Bluesky.
-
Says NPC in chief - the man with no opinions but damn can he write!?
I mean it, can he write?? I can’t tell
-
do you even know what that means

You know that’s not true. Me, a real person with a semi-anonymous account, don’t miss the days of trolling Glenn Greenwald and the Russian Foreign Ministry. Or some pathetic bastard at Judicial Watch,

You call Nazis "high minded and civilized" and use dehumanizing language for those who dare to disagree with you. I would recommend some self-reflection, but it seems you are incapable of such.

Eat shit and pound sand, loser. Christ you people are insufferable.

This line must be a big hit at the middle school lunch table

Way to use the slang terms parroted by right wing fascists to demean the opinions of others. Go back to Twitter you fucking loser.

you're 40 and paid for a hairline, you can't say NPC's anymore.

Yea I am an NPC, unlimited health bar. Fucking fight me and enjoy the end of your hardcore run

This is pretty rich coming from a guy who constantly resets and repeats the same dialogue over and over again with no awareness of changing context. Just walking into the same wall in his chateau.

if you don’t like it delete your account and leave us alone. Congrats on nobody buying your book
-
No, TCW. It really isn't. This is probably the most disturbing idea for you to hold in your head at this point.
Unless you are like those techbro numbnuts who think we're in a simulation in which case all of us out here are actually NPCs? That would, I'll grant you, explain a lot of your behaviour
-
Please explain what exactly that means
-
So, you're using the groyper cope now?
-
This is bait, right?
-
Why are they all such thin skinned whiny little bitches?
-
Imagine thinking you're some sort of intellectual with valuable insights that fly in the face of conventional wisdom or whatever and then using the term "NPC" to dismiss criticism like the median 4chan poster (or Elon Musk, but six of one, half dozen of the other, etc.)
-
You know, when someone uses the term "NPCs" to describe actual human beings, that is an immediately recognizeable indication that person is a fascist
-
Twitter really is poisoning you if you've adopted this psycho notion unironically
-
you're not intelligent. quite the opposite really
-
Enjoy your ratio dipshit
-
Are you a child?
-
Guy who definitely knows what “npc” means
-
Calling people NPCs is the epitome of dehumanizing and the fact you're doing that after complaining about the "nastiness and vitriol" here is just cementing the general "you see the energy you bring" vibe you give off.
-
They probably just seem that way because you’re so deliberately obtuse
-
I guess I'll just leave this here.

Do you have to cut a royalty check to Dunning AND Kruger with every post or do you have a more efficient licensing deal?
-
Nah, you wouldn’t be overfilling your diaper right now if you believed that

Guess we NPCs don’t need to read your articles or buy your books.
File under: Good luck with that self promotion approach.
-
Actually I’m a flesh and blood human endowed by my creator with certain inalienable rights, fascist
-
Referring to other people as NPCs is a huge tell, like writing three memoirs for some reason.
-
If you wanted to convince everyone that your opinion is not worth listening to, literally dehumanizing everyone who disagrees with you was the best way to do it.
There are no NPCs. This is not a game. This is the world. We're all people.

Oh are you gonna go cry to your “frens” on your racist Facebook group?

Good luck in seventh grade!

hey thomas this is a great article have you read it yet ? www.vulture.com/article/post...
Zero Tolerance
Five years after the George Floyd protests, many liberals blame “wokeness” for stifling open debate. So why can’t they handle being disagreed with?

You are almost all full of shit

Dude, go back to twatter

You write vapid centrist nonsense that's utterly detached from reality.

Or maybe… just maybe.. you have really shitty opinions and no one on here will coddle you like the other app

The Demise of Discourse starts by calling people shit like "NPCs".

My man you cannot posture as an intellectual and then trot out the weak attempt at an own crafted by 4chan nerds. Gives your whole game away.

Dude you live in a fantasy world

so let me get this straight. James Baldwin went to France to get away from racism in the US, you went so you could pretend it doesn’t exist, and now you set yourself up as the arbiter of which place is better than another? boy would I never follow a restaurant recommendation from you
-
using NPCs unironically is a sign of a broken brain, imo
-
Oh you're RIGHT-wing right-wing
-
TCW accusing people of being NPCs
-
Nazi ass thing to say Thomas
-
just cause ppl hate you doesn't make you a player or a character
-
Everyone on the right and left seems to hate you. Contemplate on that, do the right thing.
-
See, and there’s your problem: you think that dehumanizing language like this is cool and edgy.
Stick to the pro-Nazi site, friend. It suits you better.
-
Chatter on, nerd.
-
BEEP! BOP! Im a motherfucking robot

Then leave

You’re an NPC

Nobody read your book. Insane coping

Oh shit this loser is on here

Thomas really thought he was chattering with this one

Hey quick question: how are you so stupid

Hi bud go fuck yourself

Mayhaps the vast majority of individuals who feel some inexplicable compulsion to vocalize their “critiques” of my ideas are in fact operating at a level of intellectual autonomy so laughably minimal that they might as well be pre-programmed dialog boxes in some off-brand metaphorical Role Playing G

Unironic use of NPC? Twitter has pickled your brain
-
Said the guy who goes by Thomas Chatterton Williams
-
Someone disagreeing with you doesn't make them an NPC, Thomas. Conservatives like Tom Nichols and libertarians like Walter Olson seem to regularly have constructive discourse here, even when they're in the minority on a given issue, because they don't insult their sparring partners like that.
-
Bitch you’re an npc. Your whole shit is still buffering
-
Dude, I was just going to ignore you, but what a freaking bigoted way to think and talk. Like, do you believe that you’re the only person with a brain or ann inner life?
-
yeah em rata isn't here for you to ogle
-
We get it. Mom lied to you and told you your opinion was much more valuable than it was.
Nobody gives a fuck. Get a life. The one where everyone agrees with you doesn’t exist. You feel this way because you have shitty opinions and you know it, not because everyone’s a robot , you simpleton.
-
lol whatever you have to tell yourself
-
Nobody here likes you because your ideas are trash. Go away. Stop writing.
-
That’s what an NPC would say.
-
I have given up on explaining to smooth-brained arrogant twits like you that the "people are rude to me on social media" function has two independent variables.
So maybe get a tutor or sumn who can explain that sentence to you
-
Yet you're the one here not engaging in any of the criticism, lmao. You've provided no examples, no analysis, no clarifications, no nothing, except hate on people and call them names when they rightfully point out legitimate critiques. You claim you're an intellectual, but you're not. You're a fraud
-
You are simply not profound or talented enough to be this much of a narcissist.
-
Actual NPCs: “I saw a mud crab the other day, fearsome creatures.”
Twitter: “Heil Hitler”
Idk, THOMAS… maybe a site with all npcs is better too.
-
Just bc you don’t like interacting with people doesn’t mean they’re inconsequential, they still have lives n shit and deserve at least the thought of goodwill
-
Calm down Tom
-
If we're all "NPCs" because we disagree with you, you're looking for an echo chamber
-
You should be torn apart by wild dogs. As part of a quest.
-
Why did your parents name you after a centuries-old person who took their own life? I genuinely feel sorry for you, that is so disturbing and wrong.
-
What’s an NPC?
-
Ah. The dehumanizing "degenerate animals"/"human rats" term of the 21st century. You are definitely making the case...against you.
-
Anyone ever tell you how much you look like Stephen Miller?
-
How about you NPC deez nuts on your forehead

Shut it trash bag
-
Just a conjecture; I know you'll class this as "bsky people being abusive" but I have heard about you about 4 times in the last 2 weeks, and each time - including the post above - made you look like a motherfucking arsehole. Have you considered that that might negatively affect your user experience?
-
Great. This guy.

Shut up bitch

I believe you were saying something about nastiness and vitriol?

so leave you insufferable shitpile

Nah, sport, just people who’ve got your number.

I give ya less than a year before the discount used book store is putting you latest in the dumpster.

Looks like someone looked in a mirror.

Congratulations, using the power of your banal and easily bruised ego, you've created one of the dumbest pile-ons I've ever seen on this site (or any other, for that matter).
Quite the achievement.
-
Look-up the origin of insults before you use them Chatterton Williams. Or are you some far-right 4Chan user who enjoys dehumanizing normal, decent people?
-
your solipsism is showing
-
Can you even define, "the left"?
-
There are over 8 billion people in the world.
Imagine thinking that you're the main character

Calling people NPC’s? You know what, man. You are what you is. Maybe you’re too young to get the reference, but you are what you is, and that’s all it is. Be careful who you’re keeping company with, because they know it, too.

-
God damn you truly are stuck in your own ass aren't you. How's your shit smell Tommy? Like fucking roses?
Here's an idea. If it sucks here, log off, delete your account, and go hang out on Twitter with the Nazis.

What a statement.

Dumbest fucking post I read today 😂. Wild stuff

So if you’re so certain about that, why are you here?

This one is for you specifically

Those who disagree with me are unpersons doesn’t seem like the healthiest mindset.

spoken like someone with firsthand knowledge
-
Oh wow, solipsism. Definitely the mark of a serious thinker.
-
The most insufferable aspect of your condescension is it's total lack of any rational basis in your talent or skill or intelligence. You're a dilettante, you dumb posh bitch.
-
Nice try, but your attempt at abject loathsomeness falls short by inclusion of the word “almost”. Still loathsome of course but we know you can do even worse.

Just gonna leave this right here for no particular reason.
