    Ahhhh right, simple mistake to make. Middle school kids definitely deserve solitary confinement. Fucking what??

        The mindset is just fascinating to me.

            Lol, I guess I gotta admire the effort you’re willing to go through to avoid admitting you might have said something wrong.

            But no. You can’t just judo flip the conversation like that when you get called out for saying stupid fucking shit.
