"Ronald Reagan has won the Presidential Election" was pretty terrifying.

"President Ronald Reagan" is three; three and seven average out to five.

It's also six in the original quote, who cares about numbers anyway?

enshittification, people just fucking keep using proprietary platforms and act surprised when they always end up turning to shit

this concept has a wikipedia page, can we please stop repeating the same mistake endlessly?

Right? I did switch to Matrix but I knew a perfect discord server for a community that's kinda hard to find servers that I like for and there's something similarly themed in Matrix but it's not the same at all and it's so inactive :< So actually I might end up making a discord account again just for that server... but I'm holding on for now X3

Ye :< at least I didn't have any discord friends left for different reasons

Tho I get that they're hesitant to make an account in a new platform just to chat with one person especially considering we ourselves have issues staying away from discord X3 But I do wish server owners would at least have a Matrix alternative and maintain it tho I guess that last part is another problem...

Original quote was "nine" and "I'm with the government and I'm here to help."

Which is exactly the kind of thing you want to hear from the leader of the government.

It's a perfectly reasonable thing to say if your campaign and ideology hinges on you rooting out the corruption in government. It's a way of capturing the idea of the corruption that you want to fix.

Like all Republican messages in the last 60 years or so, it's bullshit, but there's nothing ironic about it.

Also, when the hell does anyone from the government show up to say that? If I need them to help me, I contact them. If they're contacting me, it's because they're helping someone else (employees, crime victims, the public).

thanks for clarifying. i did not know contractions counted as one word

Yep. English is a very hard language (and I say this as a native speaker who, caring about proper grammar, still struggles with it).
