I make fun of Mark Cuckerberg constantly, because he is the literal epitome of the low-value Gamma sperg-nerd who managed to get very lucky with a product and an idea, and has since managed to strike it very rich. (Faceborg is a terrible product from a terrible...
So some rather interesting things went down today in my Telegram channel (join now if you haven’t already – all the cool kids are there), wherein I initially posted up a video that showed two Orthodox priests engaged in fisticuffs in Banderastan....
