I came here to say almost exactly this. Yeah - if you didn’t think to steal from a company by reading the return policy in the most literal and selfish way, you’re what we call an “adult.”

It’s “Tea, Earl Grey, hot.”

It’s silly what sites will do to force a video ad on you! They might even embed a video in the middle of an article about how to mute videos! What a world!

So now I have to explain gravity and such. Eventually, I figured out this method on my own because, yeah, it’s too conceptual to…

The latest translations from the Rosetta Stone?

I want so badly to be able to give you more stars for this. Holy shit.

Oh man, so right on.

This should be called the Touch Home Hole Slam Trick.

Excellent.

It is. It’s just slightly less well known than, say, Shirling.

Also helps to hit it on a corner.

Yep, exactly. Without credibility of human beings involved, the blockchain does nothing except breed some form of comfort for first world luxury goods buyers.
