What changed? I usually just scroll global an amithist, the posts are fairly predictable and generic, not so much today. It's not just bot follows, there are a lot more "celebrity" type acconts in the global conversations

Thank you all for the nostalgia

Is this democracy?

Ya, that's a tough one. I see much of this type online, not so much in the real world. There are always outliers, throwing up your hands and blocking is probably for the best online and off.

That and to probably stoke egos. Makes people engage more, drive metrics

Well, I suppose it's a good conversation to have regardless of how it happens. "A" for effort

"Natural family planning"?, Not really sure what this means but I assume it means women are incredible, and we men just talk out our asses to compensate.

Behold the wonders of bribery and corruption

If we have to articulate them outside of the gray mater, they may not make as much sense though

Silliness

Interesting picture choice, all the people around the man yelling seem to be laughing at him

Well done with the background track, may have chosen different music, but it worked

But it tastes like apple pie... so they say

The world takes all kinds, and for these new protocols to succeed they must as well. How these new communities deal with these issues will start to define them and their success.

Mmm, a new insult... "go zap yourself"...
