Yeah pretty clear attempt from Putin to apply reverse psychology. "If I say I want Biden, they'll vote for Trump, I truly am a mastermind teehee"

My current META for this is just saying "Do you know about ?" wait for their response and if they know we're done! If they say "No" I then ask "Do ya wanna hear about it? Approx listening time minutes!" and respect their answer.

It's about etiquette and giving them a choice. You have to be prepared for them to say "no" to hearing about that thing you'd like to info dump about. It's not that dissimilar to getting consent if you think about it, it's rude to just start shoving your information into their brainhole, so to speak lol

I think this is a case of "The internet can take the niche 120 people out of the 8 billion on Earth and make them seem like they're normal and everyone is like them". Loud voice, itty bitty percentage of the population. If you go to "car-fuckers.com" you'll leave thinking 4 out of 10 men have sex with their car and that's why shows like Top Gear/Grand Tour are popular lol

I know you're joking but mine won't let me uninstall it, and get this, "disable" won't work either! Samsung S9 (quite old now) btw if anyone reading this wants to avoid.
