It was the last decade of magic before the Chaos Lord drained all of it from the land.

is the guy at the 3rd image Limp Bizkit?

[-] pjwestin@lemmy.world 32 points 6 hours ago

Team Foucault all the way. Chomsky folded like a cheap chair. /s

[-] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Chomsky? Isn't that the guy that has ties to an international pedo ring?

I don't know what to do with my hands

[-] strop@lemmy.ml 9 points 10 hours ago
