No, you're talking about boosting (equivalent to retweeting). As you say, you can't add a CW doing that. So, people re-post manually (the content of the post, and/or a link to the post) with a CW. The request is not to do tha

I'm sure everyone living in a 10 mile radius will be delighted by the increased noise floor.

The problem with X is that it maximises the window... for now. If you restore it again, it flies off screen again. Your method is how I do it (modulo using M for move, rather than reaching for the cursor keys.)

True Crime as a whole may be. That says nothing about "women commenting on brutal murder cases as they're fresh and being investigated, and throwing out their pet theories about real living people being responsible" even exis

Yeah, I'm a bit confused there is no option "he has at least one non-green hat", which is what I would answer. Perhaps that means I'm wrong.

Does it use AI to remove the AI bullshit?
