It had the exact words I just quoted on it, and it doesn't appear to have redirected. See attached imaged I highlighted it.

Thats unfortunate. But again the account states in the screenshot you provided:

> posts from @realdonaldtrump feed.

So the account did state (though slightly less explicitly) even in your screenshot that it was a mirror of his twitter feed.

So what I'm hearing is, your Taiwan media either screwed up or just generally doesnt do a good job at fact checking, and stated something they had no evidence to support. Sounds like the problem here is with your media doing a shitty job (at least in this case) and not the account.

Again its important to note that while it did mention it was a mirror of his twitter feed it seems once the account holder realized someone mistook it for a real account (perhaps this was specifically in response to the mistake made by the Twain media) they even went out of their way to add extra text to make it even more clear.

So again, not really sure the problem has anything to do with whoever runs that bot, seems the problem is with people stating things without fact checking it first.

@judgedread

@muho

True, but it still explicitly states it is just reposting content from his twitter feed. So while it was less explicit about it being unofficial, it doesnt appear their intention was to mislead anyone, they just werent very explicit in their wording, but most people would still understand from that wording that it was just a mirror.

That said, still not sure what the problem is, the first description was somewhat problematic and the owner of the account went out of their way once someone brought that up to change the wording to make it more clear (which shows they are operating in good faith)... so again, hard to see what the problem is here.

How can a bot be a grifter.. its literally a bot that reposts anything Trump posts. Plus not sure you can call someone a swindler/grifter if they post on the **front page** they are a mirror account.

@judgedread

His account does... so your complaining that people were idiots and assumed it was really him without checking the **front page** of the account first?

I mean it would be perfectly fair to criticize the general group of people who made that mistake without even checking the account, I would agree with you there. Still not sure how you can possibly claim he is "forging" anything though, he isnt, and he rather clearly stated what it is. Other people being too stupid to realize its not him because they didnt bother to check doesnt make it a forgery, just makes most people idiots..

@judgedread What do you mean? The account you linked clearly states that it is not donald trump and that it is simply a mirror of his posts... how is that forging? Or are you saying it isnt really mirroring his posts but just posting made up posts?

@thegibson

I mean to be fair all cyber-criminals are hackers, not all hackers are cyber criminals. So this would appear to be a valid use of the term.

Octopussies are actually where the term "Gender Fluid" originates from!

@AusOcean

@mur2501

Good luck getting them to eat men, octopussies are notoriously bad at being able to distinguish a persons sex (I learned this the hard way).

@AusOcean

@mur2501

is it a pet store?

@AusOcean

@mur2501

I am no expert in marine biology but I am 100% certain that is correct.

@AusOcean

@AusOcean I'd like to see that future!

The meme does have a point...

@rlamacraft

I think the real distinction here is not "what are they" but rather "what do you tream them as".. All of those are numbers, and they are natural numbers. But as you point out since we never have to use them like a number (do any math on them) we can and should treat them as a string or arbitrary object.

To @trinsec 's point if you need to perform the math on them that is used to verify them in some way then they are treated like a number, no different from any other "natural number" but if we arent or wont be performing that math then we done.

The same is true for other properties.. if all we care about is equality and wont ever need to display the data then it is treated as an arbitrary object, no need to even really treat it as a string at that point. Strings are for renderable text, so only time you ever need to think of them as a string is if you intend to display it, just as the only time you need to think of them as a number is if you need to do math on them.

Can't a man just be evil in private so i can plan hegemonic world domination in peace, sheesh.
