The obvious racism of this aside this is a direct consequence of data brokers and surveillance capitalism making it trivial and cheap to send out texts to minority women in Detroit. That’s an insane thing. Someone probably paid a pittance for these targeted texts.

It’s not CS and he’s not going pro, he’s just cringey. You can tell he’s blasted by getting repeatedly farmed by invicta and so he made a whole video about how to get revenge.

And you are worth helping, and worthy of being

the teabagging and shooting corpses after kills is so cringe

The risks of observing Israel commit war crimes. Props to them for staying and fuck the IDF for firing on the UN.

No shit

Go full Vader in the negotiations. Pretty hard to make airplanes without workers

Has it gotten worse? They’ve been dogshit for a long time, maybe they’ve gotten worse and I haven’t noticed
