Unfortunately, but perhaps predictably, this post has inspired the question, "why would anyone need to lie about their location?" followed immediately by, "there oughtta be a law."
The question needs to be flipped:
Why should anyone online be required to divulge their location?

What kills me about that goofball's mEmOiR of letting various withered husks pump away at her for, I guess, reasons--besides that, what kills me is that every text excerpt I see from it could've been written by this lady I used to know whose Book Has a Birthday, She Just Doesn't Know When it Is Yet.

If there's a personality trait that sets my teeth on edge online, it's whatever one it is that compels people to sneer at anyone daring to ask them a question.
I know social media has people thinking they're like little mini-celebrities who shouldn't have to deal with the riffraff, but guess what.

See the problem with multi-generational Heritage Foundation style political plots is that sometimes, several generations down the line, the people maintaining & upholding the scam have forgotten it's a scam and think it's the truth b/c all they've ever known in their lives is the scam
So apparently the authors of project 2025 are confused as to why their economic plans are tanking our economy.
I'm confused as to how they didn't know before hand that their plans would be an epic failure?

Montgomery County first made its “Ride On” buses free to all riders under 18 in 2019. Then on June 29, 2025, it made all of its buses fare-free for all passengers. The system has a fleet of nearly 400 buses, 80 routes, and provided 19.2 million rides in the 2025 fiscal year.
