I hate everything about the idea of paying a subscription for a....{checks notes}...car. It's already bad enough when people are paying monthly for car payment or lease payment, now they get hit with a subscription for software?

I hate this timeline.

just passing by, just wanted to say i liked your content a lot.

  • your username, 'Charles Darwin'.
  • the 'checks notes', bc you feel like a tired medician raising a brow when reading the umpteenth diagnosis report of 'stupidity' in this world.
  • the 'i hate this timeline', bc our actions made us end in one of the world's bad ends.

so please, take my upvote and my upcomment, and have a nice day.

Since they’re kink shaming themselves, I can only surmise that shame is another one of their kinks, in which case shame

masochistic self-kink shaming? i'll take it!

[–] cristalcommons@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
