I think I'm going to take the position that any time somebody uses the fact that I'm gay and/or do weird kink stuff in my free time to dismiss me in a theological debate, I'm just going to automatically block them and feel fine about it.

Just so you know, the investigation into collusion in the housing market by landlords facilitated by online "market information" websites (specifically, RealPage), is just one larger arm of the Biden administration's generationally aggressive approach to monopolies.
