You need to tie-die some lab coats now.

And you will be pied pipers.

I don't like it, but I have done so very many cervical dislocations. For my psyche, better than asphyxiation.

Not that anyone cares this is almost impossible to read on desktop

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You are on desktop. You have so many ways to deal with that problem it's not even funny.
