Mississippians, what are y’all doing to get on here?

I’m running the free version of Proton VPN to get on once a day on the iPhone app. Can’t leave it on because it makes the rest of my apps run like garbage but I miss the people here.

Hunny.

It’s not a flex to lose compassion and say you don’t care that “welfare babies” die in floods and tornadoes. It’s a cause for alarm and self-reflection.

You can keep the taxes from your lil call center job. You might need them to get better dentures and get out of that basement apartment.
