Good! I was considering stopping my monthly donation. They better kill the entire "machine-generated" nonsense instead of just pausing, or I will stop my pledge!
Fun fact, the Dutch voices for the original cartoon series for Huey, Louie and Dewy (Kwik, Kwek en Kwak) was done by one guy (Bob van der Houwen). The American producers didn't believe that, so they flew over to sit next to him when he recorded his lines to make sure it wasn't pitched up.
I've been wondering the same. It's been years. I live in western Europe. Could be an example of evolution, insects that fly higher survive more often, or climate change, there's fewer insects about.
It used to be a big issue, now the biggest issue is bird poop and lice excretions.
Fascist enablers? On the wrong side of history? Sad sacks? "People who try to whitewash their antisemitism by pretending to support Israel, while in actuality they're still antisemitic but also anti-Islam, and they'll turn on Israel after Palestina has been removed from this earth"?

The letter writing suggestion isn't a bad one, but I wouldn't send it. Just write it and then burn it, and let that act of fire be the end of it. I know it's not easy, but it's the best answer you're going to get.
We often had classical reading exercises where one student is tasked to read a text and at some point another student would be pointed at to take over. I was a pretty fast reader at the time and class was soooooo slow, and I figured I wouldn't be called upon, because I had to do it the week before already, so I was ahead quite a bit in the text and there was 1 sentence that got repeated in the text.
You can guess the rest, I get called upon, my neighbour whispers the first few words of that one repeated sentence and I start reading from the wrong instance that sentence appeared. The entire class confused.
