Shit's all sorts of different now.

Do not go to the former Yugo. It's more complex than talking points. And not hundreds of years. Legacies of crusades and empires and invasions and local politics and tribes and calculated rivalries invoked. Of course, only me and the five others who've studied it really care.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
And... Matilda just had a Gabba Gabba sobbing fit and I'm still feeling just too sick and weary to deal with it, so no more debate.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We only won one of those.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
