To Pokimane, pt 27

I hope that when you didn't share the idea after I said that at a certain point in time I would stop expecting you to share it or trying to get you to share it, that you were fine with the outcome of me not doing these things.

If I wasn't trying to get you to share the idea with my previous post, what was I trying to do?

I thought that if I said nothing, then I could determine (based on your actions) whether you had, in fact, watched this drama series after I recommended it after you said on stream that you were looking for a new Kdrama to watch.

I will just assume that you did watch it.

Someone who is my age spent part of their life without the Internet, but was of an appropriate age to become proficient at things related to computers. When I was in high school, there was no Chirp Club. If I had decided that I wanted to try to fix problems before I sought a romantic relationship, there would have been fewer avenues to cause change than there are now.

Maybe this is a bit of a tangent, but it's what I was thinking about (and I didn't take notes so I nearly forgot what I was going to say, after mentioning the drama). In 10th grade I learned that the person I had liked in middle school was in a relationship, apparently (based on her accepting an invitation to a dance; she said, "I guess that means we're official"). It was only a few months later that I found someone else that I liked. She was a grade above me, but that didn't matter. What did matter was that she was already in a relationship.

You've probably heard the saying before: "all the good guys are taken", or something to that effect. You think someone's perfect for you, but they're taken. You might be able to completely give up on the hope of being in a relationship with them, such as by never talking to them again, but what if you never find someone else that you like, because you compare everyone to the other person you knew? The "Sensibility" in "Sense and Sensibility", I think referenced this film a couple weeks ago?

Twenty years ago, Chirp Club did not exist. Now it does. I don't know if Chirp Club actually makes the world better, or if Chirp Club has gotten better in the past 10 years. I tried to get the CEO of Chirp Club at the time, Dick Costolo, to share this idea, and implied that it was possible he could have known of it, and maybe that the next CEO 'part-timing' as the CEO of Chirp Club suggested an awareness of this idea. But all I really know is that no CEO of Chirp Club has shared this idea.

In fact one of the things that I said was that if Dick Costolo did not share the idea, I would delete all my tweets on Chirp Club that were posted after a certain point in time. I got around that by having my account banned, which has a similar effect to me deleting those tweets, as they are not visible.

(I will mention that I remember when Dick Costolo mentioned the Three Body series of books, and so it was nice when they were made into a TV series and I could have a little better of an understanding of why he might recommend reading them. But maybe this is a false memory, because no search results.)

So, like, I'm investigating what you think about Chirp Club. Do you consider it a viable way of causing real change in the world?

Or would you say that it's trash?

Edit: also, the timeline in my recollections might be incorrect. I think I actually learned that the person I liked in middle school was in a relationship when I was in 11th grade. So, like, the causative relationship implied by "It was only a few months later" wouldn't exist. But this post is about what you think of Chirp Club.
