Are you under the impression that they don’t?
Well, yeah. That’s not really in the same category or ever really disputed
No, that’s my evidence that it wasn’t ubiquitous and typical.
Maybe not just your social circle, but social-circle-specific.
No, this was just your social circle. I know literally zero people who ever bought into any of that crap
Other than the vague “big bad gubbmint thinks you’re too stupid for their SECRETS” vibe, I almost find this old school X-Files type insanity sort of adorable. They don’t wanna hurt people, they just want a more interesting world
From England straight to Louisiana is quite a leap
It’s actually the comptroller, but only if he attacks en passant
Isn’t it 15 degrees every day in San Francisco
Yes, your aunt has (probably) signed up for what’s essentially a scam.

Poes law and all, but this one feels like a troll to me
Not that you’re going to get any kind of constructive discussion here regardless, but it’s worth noting that “liberal” in the US means something very different in the rest of the world (what we’d call “neoliberal” or globalist) and I don’t really know which one you mean
I don’t think of either of them as having any specific regional accent at all. I think they just have somewhat similar voices and mannerisms
You are so gullible
“Official” here meaning “some guy said it and his friend wrote a blog post about it on the Internet.”
It’s fun to pretend.
I’m sure some parents use it as a substitute to avoid saying “son of a bitch” in front of their kids, if that helps
