everyone is jeering at elon musk, but whom amongst us can say that they’ve never spent too much money on domain name that they don’t know what to do with?
@jacqueline here, me, I can. But only because I have a very strong aversion to buying domains.

@jacqueline

I've bought a few domains that would make for great band names. :D

Though, i still haven't found any other musicians that want to play in a band called Cockroach Soup. :D

@jacqueline Oh no, why you gotta call me out like this? 😬
@jacqueline
I own “www.whatthefuckdidijustbuy.com” for a cheap $50,000. I’m currently yelling at local businesses to advertise on my site or I’ll tell all my 5 friends not to shop there.
@jacqueline Can't say never. Nope... plenty domain names. I let a few go this year.
@jacqueline Yeah I still think about that $10 on a regular basis 
@jacqueline ... Quiet you! 🤣
They were good ideas!
@jacqueline I've always known what the plan was at the time. But it is a skill knowing when to give them up. Elon is currently in denial, poor guy.
@jacqueline I’m called out. I’ve told myself no more vanity TLDs, they always raise the rates the most. We’ll see.
@jacqueline thanks for reminding me! I bought https://wtfdayisit.com/ at the start of the pandemic and made a silly little JS thing and promptly forgot about it 😂
WTF Day Is It?

I couldn't remember the day of the week before I was stuck in the house, now, forget it. I needed a stupid-simple thing to remind me the day of the week...here you go

@jacqueline Heck, that's like EVERYTHING in my life - not "just" domain names, but all kinds of kit, art supplies, fabric, YARN, spinning fiber...

I thank God I am not a millionaire. The series about me unf*cking my habitat would become legend.

@jacqueline Money sent to domain name registries is not wasted, it ends as my salary.
@jacqueline Not fair! I WILL USE THEM ONE DAY. Just like the endless boxes of bubble wrap, parts of broken appliances and op-shop purchases piling up the garage... one day... 😩
@jacqueline i currently own 5 domain names, of which only this one is in use. expensive manic episodes, what can i say
@jacqueline Oh, was it one of those expensive domains, like $50/year?
@jacqueline If that's the analogy, I'm jeering for not registering thousands of TLDs for that price instead 🤣
@jacqueline I feel a little attacked. But not 44b worth of attacked.
@jacqueline And i've still got most of them.
@jacqueline Errrr ... I've *definitely* never done that ... 😬
@jacqueline I really thought I was going to be able to flip HipsterHats.com 🤷‍♀️
@jacqueline Ha, I have found a use for all of them and none of them were $44B :) Funnily enough (and this was never public information), DSSD wasn't an acronym for anything, it was just a TLD what the founder happened to have bought!
@jacqueline I am guilty of having 4 abandoned Tumblrs.
@jacqueline I'm in this picture and I don't like it
@jacqueline i mean, i know what to do with them all but I don’t have the money and time to… oh.
@jacqueline I paid for bearhu.gs for years and never did anything with it 😭
@jacqueline Starting this week, the answer is “run a Fediverse instance on it”.
@jacqueline omg i have nontokeablefungi
@jacqueline @CrowderSoup I mean, today I learned that someone owned kinked.in and has done absolutely nothing with it
@jacqueline Elon accidentally destroying Twitter might be really good for him (and everyone else) because he spends way more time on that toxic platform than is good for him (like many of us did). 90% of the stupid stuff he did can be traced to Twitter.
@jacqueline there is a problem of Order of Magnitude and a chaos factor on the wrong side of agreed truth here. However, love the observation.
@jacqueline *quietly backs away from the keyboard with a list of about 50 domains I still pay for*
@jacqueline Oh man, me and my collection of domains that I am forever "going to do something with" feel very seen!

@jacqueline I mean, I am the owner of

cummunism.org

so, glass houses and all that?
