When someone tries to tell me that BRICS will make the world more free.

"14" "MAP"
Catfishing* vibes.

One reason I didn't comment on the politics sooner is because it wouldn't have made a difference at such a late stage.

Since the votes are in, I guess, I'll comment on her a bit.

I don't like Kamala FOSTA Harris.

While I'm not going to assume that the other party would be better, as a prosecutor, she was the sort of person who would chase petty crimes, even if unjust.

She would also grandstand about websites and is accused of defending the death penalty.

Please find someone better than this.

Also, usually, I see Trump supporters active around *a year in advance*, rather than popping out just for the election.

This isn't something I'm thinking just in hindsight either, I've been thinking that for months.

Four years and the best candidate someone could come up with was Kamala (who is basically the lesser of two evils). Also, a last minute presence.

What they do is they attack the opposition for the economic follow-on effects of the pandemic (and responses to it).

Are they bad? Probably. But, that's what they do.

It's annoying when someone has their own website, but instead of hosting their (tiny) files there, they link to *Google Drive* instead.

Including when I go back many years.

*phenomena
I'm going with phenomena here but Mark Zuckerberg syndrome is named that because it involves a dislike for a person.

I suspect that someone used weird vague obtuse language (perhaps, involving something like Mark Zuckerberg syndrome but with some phenomena someone doesn't like*) and a couple of intermediaries had no idea what that meant**.

While I understand there was a podcast which covered it, I prefer to use an article here, especially since there might be a language barrier.

"Former Parliamentary Secretary for Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Parliamentary Secretary for Reconstruction Minister / Parliamentary Secretary for Digital Minister."

"He has served as a specially-appointed professor at Tokyo University, Waseda University, Tokyo Institute of Technology, and other universities."

"Specializes in freedom of expression, secrecy of communication, digital policy, children's policy, etc."

Mark Zuckerberg said it before to shareholders (I've linked to this before) that he is "running lean" because of regulatory uncertainty (which sounds an awful lot like bad attempts at censorship).

If you think about it, when it comes to coincidences, you can find "patterns" anywhere you look, however, these "patterns" might not be meaningful.

Did the "spam attacks" come before or after "Threads"? Lol.

I'm joking here, of course.
