For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

It's hard to be friendly to MAGA hat wearing coworkers when they casually throw in an open borders joke while you personally know someone who's undocumented but has been living here for decades. It's worth keeping a little distance from those people.
This. I mean, you can find common ground with these people, but it's WORK! It's constant, it's 100% on you, and if you touch any of the programmed hot buttons, you're back to square one. Some of them are so deep in the matrix that they're living in an entirely different reality. I've unironically had an easier time talking with people about all the different species of ET that have supposedly visited earth. 10/10 would hang with the Pleiadeians before MAGAs.
That's why the propaganda is so effective. If we cut off the head.of fox News, OANN, etc. These people wpuldnt be like this.
