@andersonbcdefg Honestly, I had to mute a bunch of people at OA, especially the academic transplants. The mental gymnastics they keep doing all the time when they don't need to is kind of insulting.

i dont think this is what owning means. it is not commonly accepted that i "own" the bill and melinda gates foundation in any meaningful sense. not exactly sure what bro is trying to say here lol
