if by fake recruiters you mean people who claim they have a position for you but they can't tell you more and what's the lowest you could go and you never hear from them again... they are not fake recruiters

Re:Why the AfD Wins on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @08:47PM (#49636776)

it's funny because the reference to your quote of her shows it was not a quote of her

we should call that hagbardisms
