I mean if you’re that worried and that important maybe don’t be on the internet?

My city routinely celebrates these very true stories that are light on details (where exactly did this guy park?) and strong in virtue signalling...

So I matched my professor on Tinder

The dialogue is total bullshit and the premise is stolen from porn, but other than that this totally happened!

Humbly close to the world record.

Current actual world record is 4.21. Current fastest time for a high school student this year is 4.44. A 4.41 would you put you with the fastest wide receivers in the NFL.

Childfree customer gets pub manager to banish children to Pizza Hut

No issue with kids not being allowed to wreak havoc in an adult space. Issue with OOP’s perfectly articulated monologue and the manager’s immediate compliance.

You were all right

I don’t know if this is the right place to post this, but I stumbled across this while trying to search for the photo online. I wrote and posted this my sophomore year of high school. I did write it in class, but no my teacher never said anything. You were right. Sometimes u gotta tell some lies on twitter. That’s just the game. I’ve also never admitted this
