@2a70c54d Maybe. I just need a couple hundred million to test the theory… for science. 😁 

 @2a70c54d I like my job most of the time. I have a brain that loves to work out problems and puzzles and it allows me to do just that. I’d just do it fewer days/week if I won a lottery. 

 @adbb894e If is is spike related, I would think that Covid itself should cause the same symptom. 

 @adbb894e We need to work on that. 

 @adbb894e Go NDP! 🤞🏼🥳 

 @d72d5211 Good timing. I’m threatening and swearing at mine this very moment. POS. 🤬 

 @b541bfe5 Oh, I see. Thanks! 

 @b541bfe5 Apparently I live under a rock. Is META part of the Fediverse? 

 @20d861a7 @f8d9bc1c I agree with you here. News is mostly big business.  Businesses care about their bottom line and no so much about how they get there ethically.  It’s like expecting META to do the right thing. There are a few independent news sources that report it like they see it, but they are few and far between. 

 @53de482a The only 2 people who know the truth are Amber and Johnny. The rest is all gossip, drama, and bs. Why would anyone waste their time taking a side? 

 @b541bfe5 I knew there was a reason that I like John Oliver. 😊 

 @40ceb4c5 😂 Theoretically, I will hit retirement age in 13 years. It really did fly by. It feels much too soon to be this close to retirement. 

 @b541bfe5 It’s nice that there is a warning prior to entering the town. Sometime you don’t know that you’re surrounded by assholes until it’s too late. 

 @fa0806db My answer to the “dO yORe Own ReSurCH” crowd is that I do actual scientific research for a living, and shockingly, social media is never a resource. And that’s when the name calling begins, bc that’s all they’ve got. 🙄 

 @b541bfe5 There are whites-only borders? I live under a rock apparently. 😑 

 @adbb894e This happened to me. It wasn’t a big deal aside from the inconvenience and doesn’t seem to be related to any long term problems. 

 @adbb894e When Russia, China, and India all dislike you, you’re doing something right. 🥳
