My eyes! The ad blocker, it does nothing!

He is truly behind anything that is bad for you.

If it weren’t for beer, I would be in great shape, look better, and sleep better. I don’t care.

They’re absolute garbage, and they’re amazing.

This all dropped off in the 80s because of Reagan.

This can be said about so many things…

When you’re rich enough, you can be “one of the good ones”.

You should call up Japan and let them know how wrong they are.

In that case, I was boycotting before it was cool.

Wow, this definitely isn’t reddit! Thank you for having a reasonable discussion.
