You'll own nothing. And you'll be happy

A now infamous phrase that was featured in a video marketed by the World Economic Forum. It implies that by the year 2030, the vast majority of commodities will be service-based rather than be allowed full individual ownership.

The video and its preachy, informal tone are now seen as a euphemism of oppression, corporatocracy, and subservience.

"Everything from your clothes, food, and property are now given a subscription fee. If you are unable to pay your never-ending list of charges, please inform our supervisors, who will escort you to the nearest available minimum-wage job.

You'll own nothing. And you'll be happy!"

pick up your own napkin

Picking up your own napkin is when you can contort yourself in order to suck your own genitalia. This often involves having a couple of your ribs surgically removed. It refers to when you drop your napkin at the dinner table & have to bend over & get it without getting out of your chair

If you can't get a date just stay home & pick up your own napkin!
I decided to just stay home tonight and pick up my own napkin

My Own Playbook

This is Ben Meisalas from the midastouch hopping on the bandwagon. This isn't going to change the fact that your religion isn't real.

Hym "My Own Playbook? Why bother doing this when you don't even have a stake in the outcome? Seriously. Why do they all look like pedophiles? I seriously think someone is paying pedophiles to make YouTube channels to try and stop me. Someone should probably do something about that."
