I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I’m sorry for all those times I’m an arrogant, self-righteous ass, RM. I’m working on it.
GD is a really profound, amazing movie. I saw it recently for the first time since I was a kid and it kinda blew my mind.

Come over and watch it in 4K
