    Love the line, not a fan of the commenter dickriding their own comment.

    look how badly I ratio’d her

    Like, just post the comment and the OP. Nobody need you to remind them how funny your joke was. It was fine.

      Also, am I reading the numbers wrong? I thought being “ratio’d” meant a big difference in likes or whatever, but am not seeing that

        It’s when you have a tweet with more retweets than likes, because it implies that people are making fun of/responding to it (on twitter, so it’s always PVP) more than they like it.

        The original tweet wasn’t at all ratioed, but in comparison to the reply, it loses by a lot.

        I never even had a twitter, I don’t know how I know that.

          That is absolutely not the definition I had intuited. Every mention of “ratioed” has been the replier using it to highlight that their tweet had gotten more engagement (likes and retweets) than the tweet they are responding to. Never a person noting they were ratioed by the metrics of their own tweet.

          Your definition is weirdly tertiary. It’s not the comparison of values, it’s the comparison of individual engagement values relative between two or more tweets. I won’t say you’re definitely wrong; I just don’t believe the average Twitter users have the attention span to do that many levels of (self-)reflection.

            Oh, it’s definitely not normally a comparison of two different tweets’ ratios, that’s just what I’m gathering from this. Normally it’s the ratio within one tweet, though Wikipedia also notes that your interpretation is also now common.

            I looked it up because you’re right that it’s not the intuitive meaning and I am really not a twitter person, and I found this article that feels like reading your middle school diary and seeing all the silly little problems you thought were so big.

            It would be so nice to have a speaker like Paul Ryan today. I mean, not nice nice, just more manageable.

      Well if you don’t know who Faye Mikah is, lets just say there may be a relevant explanation as to why they are so into dickriding.

          … My apologies for assuming you could use a search engine.

          Faye Mikah has a dick and also enjoys riding them.

          They are trans, they do at least a bit of onlyfans / amateur porn, with cismen.

    OP could have ratioed them right back with “I already said it was perfect, you don’t need to keep selling it.”
