  • okay look, I wanna be quite fair to this comment

    and that starts with first apologising to you for what I’m about to do, which is engage in one of the worst social patterns and false logic modes of engagement that plagues forums

    so I just gotta ask you: what the fuck made you choose that abominably shitty semi-clone of a rust emblem? good god. do better.

    breathe

    okay. with that out of the way. on to the meat.

    I’m sorry you fuckin wot m8?

    did you ever fucking pay any attention whatsoever to the details here? are you so fucking thoroughly up your own goddamn ass that you do not see the problem here?

    holy fucking christ in a tapdancing duet with the devil, how did you think this post of yours was an okay one to make?

    I was pro tariffs.

    Until about 30 of our clients at Somewhere dot com cancelled searches over the past three weeks. Hiring freezes all over the place.

    Hit me in the pocket book already.

    REMOVE TARIFFS.
