Sigh Normally I read ‘.ml’ and instantly downvote but… I’m contractually obligated to upvote.
I had a hexbear account, but was afraid of missing out on comments like these so made an ml account instead.
Doesn’t include Gen Z because we can’t get hired, therefore, do not have a paycheck to live on. :')
