Of course women don't like the cybertruck. Women only want one thing and it's a Care Bears' Rainbow Roller

Original Care Bear, Champ Bear, smiles and waves from the Rainbow Roller (a cloud mobile) between heart topped candy cane striped posts past a start with an old fashioned umpire whistle in its mouth.

Real world contacts use Stories to stay in touch, posting on the grid is only good as a photo album, but they will rarely come up in your contacts feed.

Like FB, many things will not even be seen in the feed, you have to visit friends' profile walls to see their posts.
