Just got hit with a MASSIVE inflation of my follower count because of these porn bots. Went from around 250 to 700 overnight, what the fuck is going on?

Just got hit with a MASSIVE inflation of my follower count because of these porn bots. Went from around 250 to 700 overnight, what the fuck is going on?
Finally moved out after 29 years and its a very strange feeling. Been on my own for about a week now and while I'll have the occasional pang of homesickness, I'm more excited than anything else.
The mundane has a sense of satisfaction to it now. While I've never had trouble with laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc. Just the fact I'm doing it in my own place I'm renting with my own money feels satisfying.
I'm not really doing this on my own, my mom is only 10 minutes down the road. And I plan on visiting at least once a week to help with things she'd struggle with around the house (and also because she cooks as much as I do and always has leftovers for me). But I'm still responsible for myself in a way I wasn't beforehand.
The fridge and pantry are still full, but its entirely on my dime and my prerogative. The apartment is clean and (relatively) organized, but its only because I tend to every corner myself.
Even paying bills is giving me a sense of fulfillment because each one is my own little responsibility. I decide on the internet, I decide on how much I blast the AC, I decide what I think is right for this space.
I moved out for a couple years when I went to college, but my parents both supported me completely through it. The rent was on their dime and they insisted I do not pay them back for it. While I was "on my own," it was still with an asterisk at the end.
But its different this time and at least for now it feels good. Guess I'll have to see if that lasts after a few months.

A great Christmas treat! Ahhh, peppermint and chocolate! A winning combination! Try them and you'll be baking them every Christmas!
Soups, Stews and Chili - Gazpacho a la Mrs. Landesman Recipe
Most gazpachos, in my opinion, tend to be a little too acidic, or I only want a few spoonfuls. This recipe is AMAZING; I got it from my friend's mother. It's wonderfully light and healthy, and it's not at all overly acidic.
Desserts - Cookie Butter Fudge Cookie butter fudge is an addictive and rich way to eat cookie butter and is ready in less than an hour.
Got laid off last October and at first I was panicking. Job gave me good pay, good benefits, and it was structured in a way that made making multiple trips to visit friends out of state easy.
At first I was panicking because I had such a good gig ripped out from under me due to gross incompetence from higher ups and desperate cost reductions, but after talking with some friends of mine I've sort of found peace.
As much as I liked my previous job I have to acknowledge it wasn't doing me any favors. I was essentially contracted to clean up a bunch of bullshit in the system and did it way earlier than expected so I basically did nothing but watch movies and play video games for the last two years. Not a lot of actual experience was earned but at least I can say I have two years of administrative work under my belt for one of the Big Three.
But I don't like the field that much and after getting an insider perspective I can confidently say the automotive industry is going down hard. No one's retiring so those "tens of thousands of jobs they'll desperately need filled in" are no where to be found. Hell, they can't even PAY their old employees to quit. Not to mention they're tightening their belts hard now that EVs are proving to be a bad business investment and they're wasted countless dollars on it.
First I was told not to waste my time with trades and THEN I was told my current field was going to be guaranteed success. So far my elders have been wrong on both accounts so I'll just take their advice with a mound of salt from here on out.
I've been taking this time for self reflection and I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with myself, which really boils down to "what pays well, gives benefits, and doesn't make me want to kill myself." I'm thinking of going in the trades or at least seeing what certs open pathways to good pay for me. In the meantime, I'm going to keep apply to anything that doesn't sound like complete trash.
