Sorry I’m late! I would’ve got here earlier, but there were some young kids waiting at the pedestrian crossing and I felt morally obligated to set a good example by actually waiting for the green man

“i hate this bad article so much, i’m going to share it with all my followers” ok but you could share something good instead and let the bad article wither and die, clickless and alone

I always find it funny how shampoo bottles are like “ingredients / ingrédients” and “water / aqua / eau” but then give up by sodium hydroxypropylsulfonate

Just got a new debit card, which means it’s time to write a signature I barely use on a surface that is hostile to all pens for an authentication method that is basically redundant (but still stress out about it)
