This person is an idiot

I keep seeing so called "smart people" arguing against Trumps tarriff plan, but that's only because they think in checkers, not chess. And yes, Trump's plan is the epitome of 5D Chess. Here's why...

This just looks like solid evidence you might be an arsehole.

I really don’t think woman understand that as a regular straight male the only people in your entire life that are nice to you outside of your immediate family are religious missionaries and timeshare salesmen.



If I show my dog this, it will be her new inspiration in life.

"F Boy Island Australia" is a real TV show? Holy shit.


So this is the new version of the batmobile, right?


Hand-typed is the only real issue here. That, and the Ocean Gate guy was an arrogant dickhead.
