Went on twitter for the first time in...6 months?? Since Elon did the shitty rebranding anyway. I was trying to see if my state health insurance marketplace had posted anything about the expected maintenance that was keeping me from looking up something (and they hadn't, good job literal government agency 👍). Anyway I got sucked in and it's just hell. Examples from the 5 minutes I was on under the cut

Lasik is trending bc one person was talking about how he went blind due to complications of the procedure and a number of others are sharing similar stories

someone's on there ""noticing"" that all the tiktoks they've seen about this issue are from women

(the OP of the first lasik post is a guy but ok)

a BUNCH of lasik providers apparently did not actually look to see why it's trending so they're just advertising their practices 👍👍👍

tswift fan talking about the role lasik has played in her music and lamenting the loss of "glasseslor" 👁👁

oh god so much about iowa just so much, why do we even CARE, the republican caucus hasn't matched the national primary selection in DECADES it means NOTHING

ALMOST got pulled in to replying to someone who moved a seizing person around while everyone one else was giving them space, including RESTRICTING THEIR HEAD while they were ACTIVELY SEIZING, and was using this as an example of how society has "failed" bc everyone was "too afraid" to "offend" that they "couldn't be bothered" to "comfort" this person and the emt in me was SCREAMING but i RESISTED

side-note but DO NOT HOLD SOMEONE DOWN IF THEY ARE SEIZING ESPECIALLY BY THE HEAD HOLY SHIT

SEVERAL people pointed this out to OP and OP was Not Convinced they were wrong

I had to close the page at this point bc they were SO SMUG about trying to paralyze "helping" this innocent person I was gonna start dming them and that had negative chance of being either productive or fulfilling

and thus ends my impromptu X-ploration

the insurance site is still offline

i'm gonna go lie down
