He paid for a server upgrade, he's gonna get his money's worth.

No, a third voted for Trump. Another third sat at home and didn't express their one voice to make a change at all.

Putting our mouths where their money is? No, I don't like that after all...

That would be fine with me if they had no effect on me and lived in a vacuum. Which I propose we put them in. The vacuum of space or a vacuum tube at the bottom of the ocean, either works for me.

Yes, because selling your home and moving your family and all your belongings several hundred miles is exactly equivalent to making a second lemmy account.
