What in-game-currency does Meta use for purchases? My guess is that Meta was partly created to have a virtual world where they could still operate Libra outside of regulation.

Awesome. What about all those "peaceful protestors" that burned our cities all summer last year? Can we agree they all crossed the line too? Can we not forgive them or tolerate them as well?

The MSM and Q both fight for a slice of the disinformation pie. I can't blame someone for believing Q. When MSM gets away with a reporter standing in front of a burning city and saying it's a "Fiery but mostly peaceful protes

Perdue Pharma has been allowed to push "non-addictive narcotics" for over 20 years and the FDA barely feigns any resistance. But some folks find non-perfect but worth trialing effects from a couple drugs in combating a pandemic il

The media is solely responsible for the lack of trust they now engender. Once the news media decided to push ideological agendas over reality in the 1980's the seeds of this crapscape were sewn. Everyone has at least a small pocket spe
