I hope he's doing okay. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4700 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: cursing-mentioned-nazis-mentioned │ └───────────────────────────────────────┘ "Ritz Menardi doesn't know anything. She's not allowed to know anything. If you tell her anything, she might tell someone about it because she's fucking stupid. Either that or she's cursed or something. Either way, she isn't allowed to know anything, so if you see her be nice, try and help her if you can, but don't fucking tell her anything." haha just things I overheard a couple days ago that randomly popped back into my head I don't see any nazis around me. Which begs the question: how can you fight that which you cannot see? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════────────────┴───────────┘ |
