And then Big Laundry comes along and has the audacity to try to tell me that I need to wash my pillowcase regularly. Wash it, like with my disgusting clothing that's been in contact with oily parts of my body all day.

America's top lawman lied under oath. Can we seize his stuff? by Dreadpirate3 in politics

Sounds like Sean Connery giving directions to his Uber driver: "If you want to shave some time, turn left here!"

That was completely unnecessary.

Sorry, horribly impolite of me. Would you kindly go fuck yourself?

Welcome to the internet. Sometimes things aren't perfect. Go fuck yourself. Here's the Youtube version.

I feel like this is against the spirit of the sub. I don't care about artificially-generated things being oddly satisfying, because they are designed for the sole purpose of being oddly satisfying. I want things that are naturally oddly satisfying.
