Fun fact: Ernest Hemingway used to collect polydactyl cats and now, because of him, there is a abnormally sizable population of polydactyl cats on Key West, FL.

You're allowed to have your opinion, but you are not protected from the consequences of your speech. That's literally how free speech works. It's just a dick move to come in for no reason whatsoever and rain on somebody's parade. Like you read that comment and decided that you HAD to insult them. It's free to not be an asshole. If people are saying absolutely brutal shit to you over your comment, then they are also being assholes.

I hate to say it, but maybe you just didn't take the time to learn Windows?

I've had the same pc running windows 10 day and night for 5+ years (I think I've literally had to reboot it 9 times in all that time), and it has never crashed. And I have RUN that thing ragged.

Just plug it in to the laptop? Surely the laptop has USB ports?

Theoretically, if this happened, what exactly would happen to folks like me born and raised in California but living out of state?

I'm curious as to why you think it's "lame as fuck". Does it harm you? Does it harm them? Does it fucking harm anybody? Does it just seem like a quickly little weird thing that you don't do but others might? The answer to one of those questions is, "Yes".

You can thank Sigmund Freud's nephew Edward Bernays

The interest does not come from lending the money. Heck, the DEBT doesn't even come from lending the money. Banks can basically create money to loan with out of thin air thanks to fractional reserve banking.

Bud, you need to take a breath. This was a thing before social media, I promise you. It's not a psy op.

It's simple, toxic masculinity throughout the post war period led to a lot of men lying about their height (same for women and their weight during the same period). Over time public perception of what a tall person looked like shifted, and now every woman thinks that 6 ft is average height.

This phenomenon came out of American advertising, not Russian agents.

I'm inclined to say 2, just for form and shape. But it looks to chunky. Like probably heavy af. So I'll choose 3.

P.s. thanks for giving me a new thing I didn't know was linked to my neurodivergence
