   People who do politics for a living are constantly attempting to get into the head of the "median undecided voter"

   It's an unattainable goal for any pundit living in a bubble who accuses other people of living in a bubble...akin to trying to charm a minotaur (difficult enough to track one down these days)

     @Gargron I searched "minotaur healyn" and got no results. It's right there in the screenshot. This is a reply to a post where I use the word "minotaur"

     @Gargron gotcha. so if someone posts something like, "healyn is a real son of a gun. not a fan of that jerk"

     I can't find that post, right? Even if I want to settle scores with my foes???

     @Gargron As you know, Eugen, I am but a simple man. I do not know what "opted-in to search" means

     @Gargron by default, *my own" posts do not appear in search results? To protect me from myself???

     Ok, fair

     @Gargron Gotcha, really not trying to give you shit, but it's weird that sometimes I'll make a random post that gets attention from other people (when I have a locked account), then it's lockdown time when I'm trying to find one of my own posts? Just seems like the "privacy" factor is a bit arbitrary at times?

     @Gargron Ohhh, I fucking changed it alright. Get ready, buddy, we're putting the pedal to the metal
