Some people speculate it’s the gender difference, like how HRC was typically called Hillary. I’m not sure though. I call her Harris but a lot of people thought Kamala was better since it’s a more unique name. Myself, I don’t think she needs that to have greater personal appeal and saying Harris would have helped make her seem more presidential. Having a foreign or Black sounding name is not really an advantage with the voters she needed to court, either. Of course, everything about this election incredibly stupid anyway so who cares at this point.

By making it even worse?

That’s how Facebook went for me the last time I tried to use it with a new account… I was immediately swamped with friend requests from people in western and central Africa. I accepted some out of curiosity so of course FB decided that’s what I was really into. I’m not sure if these people just send out random requests or why they want to add Americans… I didn’t get hit up for scams or anything, it was just people posting and sharing photos of their lives as normal FB users.

Sounds like BitTorrent, too

I’ve definitely noticed people who challenge anything you say by asking for a source, but make tons of unsourced claims themselves.

To the point at least. The impression I always got was that it was meant to imply you’d have money by then and not want to pay taxes.

The people who told me that were 100% boomers. There’s that idiotic saying “if you’re not liberal* when you’re 20, you have no heart. If you’re not conservative when you’re 40 you have no brains” ok boomer.

Note this is using the US meaning of liberal, not to mean “capitalist”.

Before the musk acquisition I had something like 8,000 people blocked… mostly the inane shit like “Patriot Christian Dog Mom” or incredible douchebags like “dc_draino”.

Wow... a morning broadcast, apparently? Imagine seeing that with your kids before school. "Dad, what's a 'sex toy'?"

It's like Elon Musk has managed to make Mark Zuckerberg seem like a good person by comparison. Or Trump was so awful that Democrats look back and think "huh, GWB was a decent president"

Maybe! Idk, I used to like mock duck. Soy based lunch meat is pretty good too. Alas, I'll never be able to try this company's stuff as it all has wheat in it.
