Dude read the room. You've railroaded a ton of threads to talk about Harris and Israel. You don't have to force every conversation into that. Let this comment thread be about something else.

Party lines! You'd share your phone line with one or more other households. When the phone rang they all rang with alternating short-long rings to identify which house on the line the caller intended to call. So if someone calls you at 2am, several of your neighbors know about it because their phones rang too. Even better, being a snot nosed kid I knew how to take a set of headphones and clip them onto the line. You'd hear both sides of the conversation of any house on the party line without dropping the call voltage too much and getting caught. That meant no one talked about anything private on the phone, everyone else could be listening.
I dismiss this comment because your age and race are ambiguous and everything else! /S
Seriously though I kind of feel like Lemmy has at least some of that nostalgic feeling. Surfing through instances, finding that one semi-active obscure interest community you fit right in with. It's definitely not the same but nothing stays the same.
Yeah she did, and you started another comment thread in this post about it. Talk about it there. You don't need to railroad every conversation into trying to convince people that Harris is a monster. Let other people talk about other stuff from time to time.
