You can say the sky is lemon yellow, or that you really are a very stable genius, but you saying it doesn’t actually make either of those statements true. Anyways, your broken record is getting incredibly boring, so it’s time to block your pathetic ass and move on. I’m almost certain that everyone in this thread knows what a hypocritical sack of shit you are by now, but just in case they haven’t, I’ll let your own words speak for you.
