I would never betray you. But when tasked with my own actions and my own agency, I never make the right choice. Like a rabbit who can always find their way home, I am drawn, almost gravitically, to the path before me, a path which seems to avoid anything resolute. alas. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3937 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── awwwww, I wish I was tacticool : ( sure would be nice to have SOMETHING going for me >.> ah well guess I'm more of the "eepy sleepy" type teehee ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3938 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: Uspol │ └──────────────────────┘ @user-1265 you'd pull a child to the sidewalk if they were in danger, wouldn't you? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3939 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── some rich people have never been taken to a poor nation and told "you are the same as them.
