@acab4cutie.top I regret to inform you that fiesta potato’s and the Gordita were part of a CIA campaign designed to separate Strong Americans out from a bunch of little babies with weak bloodlines.
In the 1960's the CIA did an experiment where they tried to reverse toilet training, the goal was to get an adult to be able to casually shit themselves with the ease of a baby.

They could do a Something Awful deal but instead of charging for name/avatar changes (for you or others) you could pay to get someone up or down – ranked for Discover feed weighting.
I will absolutely pay Bluesky the ransom money to get myself out of the discover feed forever
and even despite paying their contractors dogshit, the bsky mod queue was a month long for death threat reports. Read they’re super broke
its why I’ve wanted premium for so fucking long this just keeps compounding. If the doj or fcc even applies a bit of pressure bsky will fail from legal costs

Community service shouldn’t be a punishment, it should just be something we slip into society.
Middle schoolers should be clearing invasive species in parks or reading to elementary school kids 1-2 times a month, just make it a part of school, then carry that onwards.

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Get in, losers, we’re going to the Cambrian Explosion.
ZOMG LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SHALE
Okay, so the Burgess Shale is a fossil bed in British Columbia that contains a whole bunch of fossils of weirdass creatures from the Cambrian era, over 500 million years ago. But the great thing about the shale is that it has fossilized SOFT PARTS!

You are at present involved in at least three separate fights online about the definitions of "putsch" vs "coup." Your Steam profile is on private because a coworker once casually mentioned how much time you'd spent on EU IV, and that was easily 1000 hours ago.
