I saw a bunch of examples just like this: https://i.redditmedia.com/C87zcWzT3KPN0Sdo4YfMIe2Rd0oLWTwBsX... Sometimes the fake accounts will even have identical comments and only post in each others comment chains.

I live in SF and hate how glibly techies talk about secession. It may be because I grew up in the south and it's part of our history but techies seem to forget that the bloodiest US conflict in history was to prevent this very thing. T

It was not recent but a century ago Ohio came up with chewing gum, light bulbs, the first gas powered auto, flight, the, the first vacuum, and founded the first coed and interracial college. A little more innovate than online banking stuff.

I would say that baking the bread is the easy part. Dealing with customers, managing employees, getting to the bakery at 3am EVERY DAY, and dealing with other business bureaucracy is the mentally taxing component.
