I work with processing potatoes for a living. The ugliest ones do not become French fries. They become compost. Thankfully, you are not a potato, and your beauty is revealed in other ways than slicing you into sticks and deep-frying you in oil.

I agree not to hold the school district responsible for damage caused by "Insurrection, Revolution, Civil War, or rebellion" or "Air piracy" while his English class visits the public library across the street. If that stuff happens at any other time, though, they'll hear from my attorney.

This scene was described as "An introvert's dream home" in a meme. I don't always relate to memes about introverts, but this time, I really feel seen.

It's a radical leftist hellscape terrorized by Antifa and the oppression of Sharia law! See how downtown (visible above the trees on the left side of the picture) burns from the near-constant rioting!
