Me too! Yesterday was my first day here, and Nicole was the last thing I got before I went to bed.

Honestly, that sounds like a blessing in disguise.

I have a suspicion that I was followed by a mod who banned me and accused me of “throwing a tantrum” and muting me from contacting him again when I asked him to justify his ban for “promoting violence” when I very plainly hadn’t. I kept getting bans for the same thing across various other subs for similar non promotion of violence, rather laughing about the idea of a politician possessed by the ghost of GG Allin ruining their life with antics, and for harrassment for some post that wasn’t even deleted when I got my ban, so I have no idea what it even was.

No time for that kind of nonsense. The “you’re in trouble for liking the wrong comments” step is the final step into full mean girl pettiness. Reddit has become an HOA.

Of course it will.

I have to wonder if it’s at all coincidental that this comes at the same time as the Crypto Reserve announcement. A few years back, Putin legalized money laundering in Russia with the introduction of an electronic ruble, and a 25% tax on e-ruble conversions to regular rubles when provenance of the e-ruble’s source is not provided. An easy way to hide illegal transactions, and a nice cut for the state so Putin can take it for himself.

A sex abuser who’s going above and beyond the rest of his party by doing the bare minimum? No, there should be no rallying around that.
