Get the secondmug. We do a bad job of only giving a shit about people who are on our team.... I wonder who said that 🤔 oh, wait, it was me. I was the guy who said that thing. I'm the one being quoted in this scenario.
Hym "So, there I sit, in 'Everyone is working their hardest world.' I'm jacked. I'm working my hardest. But wait a second! People don't like all of the things I've said. They like some of them. So they take those things and say them as though they weren't scrolling through Urban Dictionary in-between working as hard as they can. They're all yoked. A director is there. He reads a compelling soliloquy. Decides to put it in his movie. He doubled up on his HGH injections today. His muscles are bulging. Everyone who both reads the book and watches the movie knows where it came from..... I fell asleep.... But they are all working their hardest and nobody says anything. They are all cut. They've been doing two-a-days."
