My first thought looking at that is she gonna cut herself on that axe. Get a proper sheath, FFS!

Well, we’ve had gay bears for quite some time, actually.

I just refrigerate my onions and don’t seem to have any issues.

Now all the cosmonauts pee on the side of the bus in tribute to him.

I suppose an empty hand gesture is about all the sociopaths in the c-suite can muster as far as conveying human-like emotions.

There is a very real scenario in which personal computing as we know it is dead

I guess that’s technically what he said, just not all of it. 🙄

Semites reading a Semitic-language translation of a book written by the most famous anti-Semite in history to better understand modern-day anti-Semites (i.e., the Zionist people of predominately European ancestry who hold a worldview quite similar to the author of said book who are currently committing genocide against people of Semitic ancestry).
