It didn't make my life any easier, I was already in 'smart but doesn't study' group.

Along the lines of people dressing up in inflatable frog costumes, I think an effective resistance tactic against these pathetic men could involve crowds of people pointing, cracking up and falling to the floor in hysterical laughter as tubas play clown music in the background

Still no control over emotions driven by petty vindictive feelings, still not Presidential 😭🇺🇲 😞

Modi ji, a very simple suggestion. A monthly income for life, until they pass on, for everyone that wins an Asian games, Commonwealth games or Olympics medal, or a chess championship, by default. No guesswork. Win a medal, you get a monthly check for life. Jai Hind 🇮🇳

This regime's cruelty and corruption knows no bounds.

this unremarkable knob routinely sets unholy gobs of money on fire to pretend his boomer sneaker ad company is innovative and interesting, and the press just endlessly normalizes it

This is an extreme and needless intrusion of politics between tens of thousands of families and their doctors.
