Half the world holds it in, the other half tries to fart so hard they shit themselves.

I imagine it’s like advertising: for everyone who finds it annoying there’s a dozen people it works on

Your reward for voting regularly and donating to candidates you support is a bunch of unwanted texts and phone calls.

So long and thanks for all the fish

Listen to the other folks, but also if you graduate in the fall semester you have way less competition for a job since most people graduate in the spring.

So you’ve got that going for you.

Love the shoutout to Margaret Hamilton

Except it’s not interesting anymore. It’s been a cycle of the same bullshit over and over again.

What if this happens every Thursday?

If Republicans could feel shame* I’m sure they’d be very upset.

Plus pollen means having to pay to clean it off.

[The CEO of BYD] is a combination of Thomas Edison and Jack Welch

So he’s a ruthless asshole?

They’re only as real as anything inside a mind. Which is to say not very real.

Poverty is caused by a lack of money, and money isn’t real. Well, not really real.
