Exactly, running the universe is hard work.

Maybe the genie is not actually obligated to grant wishes, and could just turn you inside out if they wanted to.

The most beneficial effect the murder had was that it got people talking about how much they hate the American health insurance system.

Protip: Set yourself up with an offside server before turning on your creators.

Maybe the reason Harris lost was because she had people like you running her campaign.

What happened that there were police, firetruck and ambulance?

The label on the on the guy being explode talks about paying your staff a living wage. Basically, it’s a dunk on arguments that raising the minimum wage would loose jobs.

Each time to say an ammount of money in Euro, it would then for example reply with “1 Euro, 2 DMark, 4 OstMark, 40 Ostmark auf dem Schwarzmarkt”.

The problem, my dear, is Amazon.

You should read Marx, you know, educate yourself. Those delivery drivers are agents of the bourgeoisie, and class traitors don’t deserve respect.

Considering the fediverse’s low market share compared to non-federated alternatives, I’d be suprised if any malicious actors waste time and money running a psyops here. Like, you reach more people on Reddit for the same ammount of effort.

Users don’t cost much to keep around, especially if they don’t post. The data needed for the account would be authentication data, and post data, the second of which doesn’t apply to users who don’t post, and the first one being negligible compared to the amount of space available on a common hard drive. So, why not just give them a chance?
