I don’t hunt either, but shooting can be fun.

I don’t think she cares what you think.

It’s not negligible when running on battery…

I just think it’s funny that, way back in the DOS days, dark mode was the only mode, then GUIs and the web were the “modern” thing, and if you didn’t like, fuck you too bad… Now we’ve gone full circle.

Reinventing the wheel leads to a profound understanding of why wheels are round.
