you think you need to leave intelligent, thoughtful comments? lmao no
“loved it!” is all you need to say. blurt that out on Steam, YouTube, Amazon for whatever game, book, or video caught your fancy
The algorithm is all consuming but you can help cool people by just commenting “👍🏼”’ so do it
to diminish the humanities is to miss out on a lot of little guys. that’s no way to live.

My wife has been HIV+ for 34 years. She’s alive today b/c work of activists who destigmatized the virus, pushed medical science to adapt & find ways to treat it, & advocated for gov health programs that helped fund her care. The current U.S. regime may want to go back in time, but we won’t let them.

Background; I have a masters in architecture, and I have worked for a firm that specialized in custom built, detached family homes, which is what this is obviously supposed to be. I also worked for a firm drafting custom high end kitchens.
So lets analyze this...
