We are taking care of the brown-eared robin that you let go in October. His sleeping face makes it hard to believe he is a freeloader. He has no sense of danger. Please come and pick him up soon.

I suddenly remember a senior colleague at work once telling me back when I was a tea geek, 'Alcohol geeks never go bankrupt, but tea geeks do, so be careful (alcohol will ruin your body and kill you before your money runs out, but tea is an antidote to longevity, so your money will run out before your lifespan).'

I really think that paper bags are advertising expenses. Before this 'lost-bag campaign(?)', when I went shopping at multiple apparel stores, I was always asked 'Shall we combine your purchases?' and had all the shopping bags from other brands put into one big paper bag. I thought that putting them in a 'big company paper bag' was advertising. https://t.co/yuubpBTfkD

I think most people who used Twitter were just using it because they found it fun to chat with strangers without any particular purpose, but Elon, who seems to lack empathy, was unable to fundamentally understand the value of the act of 'chatting with strangers without any particular purpose,' and would have been shocked if he were given rewards (monetization of tweets) and purpose (dating features) for communication on Twitter.
— Jet Ryo (@ikazombie) December 6, 2023
They must be thinking that now that everyone who wasted their time chatting has gained a reward and purpose, they will start posting more and more, and X will surely become more active! We just want to tweet that today's dinner was delicious...
— Jet Ryo (@ikazombie) December 6, 2023
These zombie accounts post a huge number of reply comments and block the tweeter at the same time, so there is no way for us to take any action such as hiding or reporting the spam comments on the tree, which is really annoying.

Elf settings are likely to differ from work to work, so please use common sense when comparing them or making general statements. Also, authors are not gods, so there will inevitably be deviations in the settings.
