I see people raising questions about whether there was foul play involved in the election.

I see people raising questions about whether there was foul play involved in the election.

I brought it up because a rando brought it up. As for why they would bring it up now, who knows. I'd like to get the subject out of the way, so I don't have to touch it again.

Maybe, I should nap for the next two days when it comes to social networks.

From what I've seen, those forensic psychologists use different terms all the time, especially over time. They don't seem to have a preference for a particular one. So, probably convenience.

To be fair, the sex offender claim comes from an unreliable source.

"MAP"
Another term brought to you by a few forensic psychologists which makes people scratch their heads.

It comes from an org founded by a deceased sex offender and his therapist which appears to have some sort of therapy referral role. Forensic psychologists seem interested in it (because they like to study that sort of thing). It caught my attention as I read various bits of science, although barely for that reason.

It catches my attention a bit more because of QAnon. They imagine a cabal which might takeover the world (which is honestly giving them way too much credit). It becomes my issue because someone might come up with bad rights violating ideas because *they dislike this particular org* or that guy.

Given the rather evident social context, it's a term which might be used in a forensic adjacent manner (although, I don't like this term to begin with) out of convenience, or which might be passed through the Internet divorced of it's origin, although it is one which has mostly been phased out over the past few years.

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

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.

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

Mark Zuckerberg Syndrome.

I'm sure someone has a better term for this than me. It's where someone has some pet peeve or some particular detail of how Mark Zuckerberg operates which bugs them. But, there isn't much that can practically be done about it. So, they start brainstorming nonsensical language and ideas to "deal with him", all while ignoring the implications that it might have for the rest of the world (and that even with Mark Zuckerberg's services, it would likely be akin to cutting off one's nose to spite one's face*).
