My brain is like having 100 apps and tabs open and my brain constantly hitting alt-tab some random number of times.

Meh.

That’s just how it got funding. It’s meant for memes and shitposts. I’m almost positive.

Never. EVER see this with your parents, even if it is “on Broadway”

He’s a modern day arms dealer.

On the one hand, I understand the inherent limitations of pseudonymous social media and why a corporation and even end users might benefit from authoritative user identification.

On the other hand, oh hell no.

Wouldn’t this technically be reflection, not projection?
