happy one year anniversary to the time I asked a couple of IRL buddies if they "wanted a few more followers" and then accidentally exposed them to so many people they stopped using the web site entirely
I made a starter pack of people who made a post so good I showed my wife. my wife is normal so I have to physically show her posts on here. I'll update this list every time someone makes a post so good I show it to my wife
