I wholly agree with this.

Or maybe the user was the issue.
lesbian<dot>hacker was the first part.

So I had this rather unfortunate experience with a person on a server called radical.town. Has anyone else had trouble with that server? Because her response was incredibly profane.

Well, the good news is that protests in most of the Northeast and Midwest have died down.
The bad news is that COVID is surging everywhere else and all Trump's doing in response is being a real-life troll: he's literally stirring up everyone in the US in some way.

It is to Biden's credit that he has mostly kept his mouth shut, been straightforward and non-inflammatory when he has said anything, supers supported masks, social distancing, and fixing the issues that led to the protests while avoiding the inane hashtag politics of the moment such as police defunding and abolition, and generally just let Trump hang himself on his own rope.

Whatever you think of Biden (I personally am optimistic about his administration) Trump is immeasurably worse and it is paramount that Trump be ousted in the next election. Biden's platform at the moment is left enough to get us back on track as a nation; if that's not enough, there's 2024 to look forward to—if we get Trump out first!!

I take it not having a trending list on Qoto was a conscious design choice. Looking at the trending now, it seems to have been a good one.

I finally announced my parting from Twitter. With the help of my mother I shall do so; in return I am helping her quit Facebook, Twitter, CNN, and the coronavirus tracker site she has determined she consults too often.

My parting shot on Twitter was posting this meme on 40 trending tweets tagged #nomasks and #wecantbreathe (I chose the ones about masks and ignored the unrelated BLM ones). I am not looking back.

Why are about half the Swedes I talk to on the Internet convinced their government's handling COVID-19 well, despite having more deaths per million than each of Sweden's neighbors *and* the United States?!?!

Because the US military would totally go out of its way to hunt down and shoot any person who made a mean Twitter comment about them, especially one that nobody noticed written by a random, anonymous US citizen wearing bunny ears in his profile pic and quite possibly living long-term in his mother's basement. /s

This is the most paranoid take on criticising the US military I've ever seen. Does the Guinness Book of World Records take submissions for this category? If so I suspect this submission ... would not even be in the competition because there's probably a hundred dumber ones out there already.
