Maybe I’m missing something, but I thought you could only upvote / downvote posts. Comments were just a thread, and whoever commented first was at the top.

Imagine this 65 year old man, sitting at home listing to All Too Well, because he could really relate to dating a Jake Gyllenhaal type, then Taylor tweets that she’s all in for Harris, and his world comes crashing down.

Harris is from Oakland. She gets it. There are nice dispensaries everywhere in Oakland. Even in very family-friendly or affluent parts of town.
