Beam Me Down

Chill Annoying

I can’t understand it either. One of the reasons I like watching UK TV shows is that they have more normal-looking people in them. I don’t need or want every single person in a TV show to look like a damn supermodel. It’s distracting and it’s nothing at all like real life.

I was glad Bella Ramsey got cast in The Last of Us for instance as she looks just like a regular person, not one out of a million beautiful.

We overvalue beauty and undervalue character.

Chill Annoying, Trynabe Funny

Do you judge people based on the car they drive?

No. But if they have a recumbent bicycle, I can guarantee they are slimy subhumans who subsist on a diet of donkey butts and octopus eyeballs. They abuse kittens and travel to faraway destinations for the explicit purpose of starving orphans.

They all somehow assassinated JFK and canceled Firefly. They are the ones who abscond with a single sock from the dryer, so you end up with no match.

The recumbent bicycle losers sneak in in the middle of the night and put mold on your bread and dust on your knickknacks.

There is no greater force of evil than recumbent bicycle riders. None.
