I haven't read it yet, but I'm going to go right ahead and guess that everybody here except for Brenda fails.

It appears that I was wrong. Pretty boring list that pertains to "professionals" and mixing online behavior with work.
Ted would fail a few of them in the top 20 though...
13. Using proper punctuation and reasonable grammatical structure for work email is a must. No matter how short the confirmation or how brief the message, save the “k” for iMessage, please.
14. Don’t share a news story unless you’ve actually read it. Falling for a sensationalized headline? Embarrassing!
Check and Check.
I haven't caught him not doing #15, which is verifying your source. I'd have to actually watch any of the crap he posts to find all the flaws and lies within to do that. When posting news stories, Ted cites his sources, unlike Second who constantly tries to and gets caught passing off other people's work as his own when he's not pirating movies and Firefly comic books.
But now for the super bad advise that completely invalidates this entire list.

16. Profile pronouns aren’t the culture-war virtue-signaling people want it to be. On one hand, many sensible and supportive folk might not have identifying descriptors in their IG profile, and judging every single account for not having pronouns in bio is poor form, as long as they’re not reposting QAnon threads. That being said, dropping your pronoun preference couldn’t be simpler — it’s as easy as changing your handle or replacing your bio emojis — and, moreover, it’s just a common courtesy. We won’t be assholes about it, so get around to it, please.
Don't tell me what to do, bitch. Fuck your pronouns.

59. Donate to Wikipedia. Only 2% of readers donate. But 100% of us have used the website in a pinch. (And some of swan-dive into Wiki rabbit holes on the regular.) Consider throwing those editors a few bucks. Or just buy this sick windbreaker.
Yeah. Donate to FLBL (pronounced Full Bull). For Losers, By Losers.
Good luck with those donations from your target audience anyway. We can't get Second to give Haken $50 a month for keeping the site running and he makes a $Zillion per year.
Then it turns out, to no one's surprise at all, most of the rest of this article is obviously written by a pot-belly troll goblin woman or a twink of a little fancy-dressing office boy that will soon be replaced by A.I. Or, maybe it was written by A.I.? Who can tell the difference?
They had a few good pieces of advice in there though...

33. STOP MAKING ALL CAPS YOUR NORMAL FONT CHOICE. UNLESS YOU’RE ACTUALLY YELLING AT SOMEONE, THIS IS VERY IRRITATING BEHAVIOR.
I'd say that this was common knowledge for about 25 years now, but here we are in 2024 with this being a "new" rule. I guess all those 2-digit IQ college graduates still can't actually do their jobs right in 2024, even with the bar set so low they had to jackhammer the floor to make the space for it.

34. If you’re older than your mid-20s, it’s time to get off Snapchat. At some point in our adult lives, we should all realize we’ve reached the age limit on this app. You should be embarrassed if you’re 26 and still asking people for their Snapchat instead of their phone number.
WTF is Snapchat?
New Rule: No matter what your age is, it's time to get off Snapchat.

36. Don’t film people making your food at Chipotle. Would you want a random stranger filming you while you sit at your work desk? Would you even want them holding their phones up and pretending to record you? It’s not worth the three extra pieces of steak. Just get your food and be normal.
Fuckin-A right. Do not film ANYBODY doing their jobs. I don't go to where you work and slap the dick out of your mouth.

42. Prank videos aren’t as funny as you think they are, especially relationship pranks. Every so often, trending prank videos are harmless and silly. But most of the time, someone pranking their partner in an effort to make them look stupid or humiliatedNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
