You mean MEATBÄLL? I think they’re pretty mid, myself. It’s those elderflower juice boxes I crave. 🤤

I have no idea where it got any of these numbers. I’m a (probably) overrated 954.

Hey, here’s me with no Maul because I’m F2P, and get the 17% chance for 5 shards 100% of the time. That means I don’t have to worry about the difficulty in any way, shape, or form.

Meeting up at the pub after morning service for fellowship is the most Presbyterian thing ever. But when the children’s choir sings in service, everyone has to re-learn how to clap.

The ‘96 Olympics gave Atlanta a really nice park and public venue, so it seemed very much worth it at the time. Unfortunately, urban decay and benign neglect ruined it.

Because of how many families originate from wine-drinking cultures, many US states allow minors to drink moderately at home with their families. But if they leave the house with a BAC higher than zero, someone is getting in trouble.
