It’s not nothing, it’s when you go on the very long rants about nothing that I skip. There was a time when I read every post on this thread. Now it’s just lots, not even sure if it’s most.

I think they meant me. And well, i read the posts by other people, which sadly sometimes quote the completely annoying troll bullshit, and then i get through a few sentences before i notice what is doing on and do something else with my time.

Nobody wants to know what you actually believe, because people have been around long enough to know your political commentary is fucking worthless. People don't at-best-skim your posts because they've forgotten how to read, but because they remember all the bullshit you've written before and have no reason to expect different.
Community request : Can we just go back to asking this idiot who won the 2020 election or whatever?

It’s the boy who cried bullshit eh?
Don’t really understand why folks don’t just ignore, it’s more bad faith than an avowed Satanist

Counter-point, if you don't at least skim oBlade posts you'll have missed the statistics rant where he explained why it was actually very intelligent for Trump and RFK to say they reduced drug prices by 1500%.

I can usually grab it from the short replies. But, I’m sure I do miss some gems.
