I'd never heard of "Sea-Lioning" before, I've seen it used a lot but never knew there was a term for it "Sealioning is a harassment tactic by which a participant in a debate or online discussion pesters the other participant with disingenuous questions under the guise of sincerity, hoping to erode the patience or goodwill of the target to the point where they appear unreasonable." - Miriam-Webster You learn something new every day

For once I actually would like a "Like" button 👍

She was one of my best friends, we chatted pretty much every day, I keep expecting her to pop up, it still hasn't sunk in. Rest well honey x
