If I had the health insurance and/or the money, I wouldn’t ask pseudonymous internet randos, I would ask a psychologist/therapist/councilor.

Ya can’t beat a superlative is what I always say.

It has a weird & witchy history.

One of them narrowly made it into the DSM-5 and the other never will.

Musk didn’t buy Twitter to make money, he bought it to control the narrative. To censor some voices and amplify others.

And now he’s our shadow president.
