I mean, who actually cares about things like chafing, sunburns, or the awkward stares of spectators? Let's all just embrace our inner Greek and strip down for the 100-meter dash.

Those cancer kids have been getting a free ride for too long! Also, Voltaire didn't say that, it was Kevin Alfred Strom, a white supremacist. Voltaire knew who ruled over him. The French monarchy ruled over him.

Most people are either pleasant or neutral irl. There are no consequences for what you say online so people tend to be their worst on the internet. If people were generally awful, we wouldn't have any form of society anywhere in the wo
