When I was younger, people who were batshit crazy would have their craziest instincts checked by people around them. Now, they go online and find other batshit crazy people.

It degrades even if you don’t watch it? Interesting.

I wonder why Twitter proceeded with construction and never thought to stop it at any point.
It is very useful for furniture and car seats and things like that. Waterproof and easy to maintain without absorbing too much scents or liquids from your body.
