Same oppressive paradigm, different fascists. No wait, it’s the same fascists
Remember the old days — they were good old days, weren’t they? — when you could make a prank call from your own phone and get away with it because nobody had invented Caller ID yet? Remember when you were at work and could look at Peter Pan guy [MIDI soundtrack alert] or whatever cute, …
