Eh, it's always been a mixed bag over there. Like spaghetti but also rat poison.
True. Avoiding /b/ and /pol/ helped.

There's usually at least one person every Trans Day of Rememberance murdered by a parent. I've attended a ceremony or read the names every year for over a decade. So yeah, fake and gay, but unfortunately it does hit to something real.
The best lies mange to somehow saddle a kernel of truth

This used to be someone's job
Mom tried to set them up to take a murder rap.
