Second thing is context collapse.

Where a bunch of people were real angry thinking that what I was saying is you should buy a MacBook Neo instead of a Mac Pro because it's more powerful.

Like as if this post was like bragging about how powerful the MacBook Neo is.

It's the opposite.

I'm using the MacBook Neo to show how pathetic it is.

The Mac Pro is that.

I mean, again, you both get this.

Like, that's the point of the post is it's the MacBook Pro is embarrassing.

What I'm not saying is the MacBook Neo just came out and it's more powerful than the Apple's most powerful computer.

A, Apple's most powerful computer is not the Mac Pro and B, no way in hell am I saying that.

But context collapses.

You need a lot of context to take this post in the way that I meant it.

You need to know my deal that I'm on an Apple podcast.

You need to know my Mac Pro enthusiasm, which you would never guess because who is a Mac Pro enthusiast, right?

You need to know so much about me before you can interpret this toot the right way.

And lots of people were complaining about both of these things, both breaking containment, which is a little bit more modern phrase, and context collapse in the good old, bad old days of Twitter.

because it was a problem for people who actually had popular posts.

Like mine was not popular.

I got like, you know, you know, what is it like?

I don't know.
