There should be a tag, like the NSFW ones, for a repost.

These are the Christians on my feed... I think we need more like them.

Replying to [deleted] · I doubt it. People are already in line to pay for the food, meaning they have the money to do so. I find the whole concept rather obnoxious. It's the principle of the thing. I am

I agree, it's retarded. It's like a secret Santa party with fast food, where everyone chooses their own meal and another person pays for it. Now that I think of it, it's one of the most pointless and unimaginative "chari

Do you take showers? The fallacy of equivocation. [Original content]

Replying to new_math · I don't want to be a dick but the biochemical and neural response that occurs from taking a shower is quite different from the biochemical and neural response that comes from takin
