The thing is, this guy has made enough comments about his life, that you can tell he has quite an elite life himself. He gets paid a US-type salary. From comments about his house, it's about twice the size as mine. He just bought an electric car, which he loves to virtue signal about. Electric cars are extremely expensive in this country. Maybe he can't buy one of those houses that overlook the lake, but he's living a pretty privileged life compared to most people who were born in this country. I guess he's sort of like our government. They try to act like they are some sort of Che Guevara revolutionaries, but they come from upper class backgrounds.
Yeah, a WEATHER forum. One guy took issue with another's avatar, of which he was offended. It just spiraled out of control. For awhile just the forums were removed, you could still view beautiful weather pictures such as rainbows or clouds. Then the site went away altogether. It was okay for a few years, but it did attract a lot of spam too.

There's a real person on the other end of any comments you see online. Funny those comments coming from someone who's privileged himself---I think that's hypocrisy??

Speaking of comments, I used to be able to view comments on X (formerly Twitter) but now I have to sign in to do so. I never looked at much, just a quick glance. Now I can't see even one comment. Maybe that's a good thing.
