Even better, he also lives in France.
Y'know, that country where nobody ever protests at the drop of a hat.

Some don't even talk, they just copy-paste the text into a TTS app and don't even bother to change the default settings.

I encountered someone in a chat tonight who was sure LA had devolved into a riotous hellhole and the MSM just weren't covering it.
He was getting his 'facts' from The Daily Mail and... Asmongold.

I did some digging when I spotted a bunch of these. Isekai (sp?) is a wild genre, and Japan's fan-made manga to anime pipeline is strong.

All too busy chugging energy drinks and dick pills in their goon caves.

I like the idea of decapitating himself so his body can go off and do stuff while he watches, but I don't know how tricky that will get with first-person controls.

I visited D.C. once. The heat and humidity tried killing me on my first day there. I won't make that mistake again.

It's only half seven here in Aotearoa New Zealand. It's going to be a loooong day of shirking work.

We're going through something similar here in Aotearoa New Zealand with our former-CEO Prime Minister. Utter madness.

Forget the rules. This is one 'gremlin' who would get fed after midnight and as wet as they want.

Hawley's lucky it was just Prof. Shaw there. If her Strict Scrutiny hosts were also there he'd be going for another run through the halls.

Meanwhile, America insists on referring to 'bum bags' as 'fanny packs' much to the collective horror and/or amusement of the UK and a bunch of other countries.

Tax them strongly, and include stiff penalties for either marketing to children or allowing them to participate.
Back in '99, NZ lowered the drinking age from 20 to 18, but also bought in stiff fines for anyone knowingly selling alcohol to minors. It wasn't perfect and foolproof, but it worked.

But if they leave they'll no longer be able to fulfil their true purpose in life - shitposting responses to, I'm guessing, someone who has said 'mean things' about a certain director.
