@PaulSkallas i started working out outside year round in 2020, and since then i've never had a sunburn, probably for exactly that reason

@stilljneal Redpilled masses might not be the best thing in the world imo, I feel like it would just be giant angry mobs who'd endlessly look for new "evils" to violently dismantle. There'd be no nuance or direction, it'd be messy af

@giantgio The "Dat Blue Stuff" initiative

@KILLTOPARTY You can also say "just go to the gym" to scare off the most emotionally unwell men from trying to talk to u & infect u with their wacl ideas, like using a crucifix to scare off vampires
