What this is

Sourced from a local mirror of my X archive (~137k tweets, incrementally synced). The pattern: author = me, has a reply_to_id, and the tweet body — once the leading @handles are stripped — reduces to some form of depends. Punctuation permitted; qualifying clauses (“depends on X”) are excluded — this only counts the pure one-word shrug.
