    Stunningly filmed thus far.
  2. Propaganda and active disinformation campaigns. The bigger the lie, the more people believe it.
  3. Especially if you do so with some fava beans and a nice chianti Tell me, Clarice, have the lambs stopped screaming? /ot

  10. Also the massive stimulus programs deployed during Covid to ensure recovery more quickly after vaccines were finally developed and released helped quite a bit.
  11. Fun fact: The universe is under no obligation to make sense to uninformed human minds
  12. Am I the only one who sees the OP as a backhanded way to spam and drive clicks to a crap video?
