I think everyone interpreted it that way. — khaled
Most of the time you were, in fact, — khaled
How about situational antinatalism? — Purple Pond

Nothing. It's fun. — khaled
unintelligent and ignorant and who don't have near as much of that typical arrogant Internet asshole attitude to boot, — Terrapin Station
