@pezmico If we meet and you tell me your name is Ika, I wouldn't start adressing you as "Joe" because I find it more fitting. It's would simply be rude.

@taylorlorenz Imagine a world without politicians, billionaires and bosses running everything, abusing everyone.
No ads and no algorithm.
Add a high signal to noise ratio.
On arrivsl you can move into the neighborhood you like best, and pay the rent you can.

Lang family in France

@randahl I am of the opinion the fall of empire is independent of the child rapist in chief. As the Epstein files prove it, the fruit is rotten to the core. On this side of the Atlantic as well.
