Businesses and personalities have different sets of followers on different social platforms and this is an easier way to give everyone the same content.

Sure, some people are going to use it with spambots, but it does have legitimate purpose for real people.

That pun made me bristle, but I think I can handle it.

The letters correspond to the physical connector. The rectangle one everyone knows is A, B is the square connector usually used with printers and other accessories. C is a small, oval connector, and the first one that can be plugged in “upside down” because it’s symmetrical.

C is now common on phones and tablets and other smaller devices. If the connector is ovalish but even smaller and weirdly shaped, that’s one of the mini/micro USB variants and you need to find the right cable to match.

(If you have a USB C cable and i won’t fit into the oval connector because it’s too big, that’s Lightning made by Apple before C existed and is only found on their devices. You have to get a cable with Lightning on at least one end.)

Elon Musk is a wannabe fanboy of Tony Stark, per Iron Man 2. It’s MCU canon.

It’s laid out just like Spotify and Apple Music, so pretty much.

  • Established Moscow as an international hub for commerce and industry
  • Waged economical war with China to be the largest economy in Asia
  • Buried the hatchet with Japan over the northern islands
  • Created a direct competitor for BRICS (BICS) and tried to tie his own Asian coalition with the European Union.
  • Rebooted the Russian space program to compete with NASA/SpaceX

Watching For All Mankind makes me feel bad for present-day Russians because even those Soviet Russians have it better.
