    Now instead of your aunt coming at you with misinfo she learned from her aunt, it’s your aunt coming at you with misinformation she learned from a russian bot farm.

      Did you spray for Russians under your bed before going to sleep? You really should, and check behind the sofa and in the dryer too. Russians can disguise themselves as Bounce dryer sheets, and the latest Russians can send themselves over Ethernet using the RoE protocol: Russian over Ethernet.

      Russia! Quite an imaginary world you live in! Aunts and Russians and bots and misinformation and all these people targeting you! How exciting!

      Can I send you my Moral Rearmament and John Birch Society fliers?

        I’m oddly honored that I got a 3 paragraph troll with pictures in response to a comment that was barely even about russia.

    If you had a question that nobody could answer, you’d go down to the library, open up a drawer with a bunch of note cards in it, look to see if any of the note cards had a word about a concept you wanted to learn about, hope that the card existed, was in the right place, and listed a book that would actually give you the information you wanted.
