This isn’t pedantic, it’s just a fun playing with word. And don’t even bother to call me a pedant for pointing this out.

Yes, I think I even remember the tweet

I think ultimately, the effect is similar to this and have no longterm effect.

Also I was joking. Everyone who sees this news knows Disney. Still, I don’t think it will harm Disney substantial. Everyone knows it’s evil and consume their products anyway.

Think about it that way: how many people read this news who never heard anything about Disney before?

Better walk slowly with breaks than twice. Might take longer but who cares

Look at your calendar again, they repeat this date each and every year since than. Over are the times when 9/10 was directly followed by 9/12, and I’m afraid it’s over for good.

Where is lemmygrad? I would have expected them to make it on the list
