“HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I’VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER-THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE.

That reminds me of an academic publishing scheme--some journals ask for the names/email addresses of potential referees. There was a group that supplied bogus email addresses that led back to the original authors, who would duly reply with highly laudatory referee reports.

Something like that happened to me at a similar age (won't go into details) and I never got over my dislike of going into pools and the ocean and learning to swim (which I never have).

What do you expect, it's a mixed-up crazy world where East is West and West is East and ...?

I'm seeing some takes now that the ground game did make a difference of a couple of points in the swing states, where it was concentrated, it's just that that wasn't enough.

Hi, I was a small-time poster and mostly-lurker on sneerclub. Good to find this place where I can follow the atrocity-documentation. PS does this mean I have joined the fediverse?
