I'm glad that more people are learning how much of a crazy scam Honey is, but I feel how scummy they are has been the worst kept secret for years.

Had a mate in high school who was numbers autistic, which worked oddly well with my hyperfixation on birds because we would sit and watch these big clouds of migrating birds and discuss flocking algorithms
