    All the more reason for me to have my shit locked down and not respond to people I don’t know.

    Like honestly I haven’t had a sketchy interaction on social media for years because all my shit is private and I don’t use my real name or even a picture of my face anymore.

      Hey Banana, do you want to talk about violent sex crimes that I think you’ve been thinking about, the ones that I’ve been thinking you might be thinking about doing? /s

      Amen. Added to that I have an extremely common name (both actually) so even if someone were to find that out, they’d still have to sift my shit from all my doppelgangers’.
