See that? You replied. I am laughing, feasting on your tears your sadness your anger your desperation. "IM RIGHT IM RIGHT" you cry out, but with a smirk on my face I look down at you and whisper a soft "No" before crushing your fingers under my boots sending you plunging to your death. Time to get out of MY thread and off MY website bucko. Time to log off of the internet, maybe go for a walk smell the roses. Maybe next time you can win, but you already lost here. I'm removing this thread from my thread watcher. Goodbye.

ngmi. you should be trying to power through the sum total of human culture as efficiently as possible so you can proceed to kill yourself at the precise moment you 100% it, without giving anyone a chance to create anything new while you are twitching out your last bit of life
