I really hope it wasn't the kind of meeting that could have been a zoom call.

If I were to travel to North America for Rush it would always have been to Canada. Even before the USA went insane.

I've always assumed that female space marines are too sensible to take their helmets off on a battlefield. So the majority.

The purpose of propaganda is not to make you believe something. It is to make you believe nothing. So that you do....nothing.

- an exploded oxygen gas cylinder
- flock of birds
- lack of fuel
- control system malfunction
- malfunction of both jet engines
- pilots fainted due to overabundance of oxygen 😳🤣

I'm not a biblical scholar, but I think "Don't take the Lord's name in vain" is less about yelling "Jesus effing Christ!" when you stub your toe, and more about calling yourself a "Christian" while starving the hungry, denying medicine to the sick, and being violently hostile to immigrants.
