I was unfamiliar with this topic. It's nuts.

But then, yesterday, buying sliced ham, the price was a fairy number. I know this because the delighted server told me so. She was genuinely happy that I rung up a fairy number. In turn, I too was happy. 😁

Maybe we can use the fairy numbers to fight the Nazi numbers

This is just the "okay" hand symbol bullshit all over again, isn't it...

You never answered the question: what does leaving Substack DO? What does it accomplish? What moral facts does it change in the universe? Moral value only accrues to consequence; if there is no consequence, there is no moral valence. And yet people go one these months long "I'm leaving Substack" tours - I'm really looking forward to yours - in which they act like doing so is an act of heroism equivalent to storming the beach at Normandy. I don't understand how you don't understand that this whole thing epitomizes all the reasons liberalism has failed so terribly in this era. Nobody likes a self righteous prick, especially not voters.

Freddie, I'm not leaving Substack. There is an entire section in the end half of the article I think you think you're replying to where I explain why I am not leaving Substack. This is how I know you do not read articles all the way through before responding to them, and then you demand answers that are already answered in the text.

I know you are not illiterate. I don't know why you keep acting like you are. I don't know if you are confusing me with somebody else. I don't know if you understand that it is possible to be critical of a service you intend to keep using.
