    TIL a person is more effective at analyzing fake news and conspiracy theories if they have a tendency for analytical thinking, which provides consistent protection against conspiratorial thinking and other irrational beliefs, but only if it was accompanied by a belief in the value of critical thinking.

    Today I learned that a lot of the time I feel like a thread killer. But it's much like when someone gives you the silent treatment. It just makes me want to talk more just because it bugs you and I'm a PITA that way.

    Another two women contacted me saying someone pretending to be me (using my pictures) made them fall in love and somehow got money out of them. That is, like, a few dozen now. So I have learned through this that some Nigerian catfishers get more action as me than I ever have.
