More hilarious jokes have never been told in history

Let’s see the lifestyles of the CEOs for Springer, Wiley, and Elsevier for comparison.

FBI be like:

I… don’t condone such behavior but I also don’t hate this idea lol

The more they delete, the more they can resell every few years as “new” while charging ever more exorbitant prices for!

Thank you for your service o7

This being self hostable makes me instantly like this. Something like G photos that I could self host and dump a lot of shit off my phone storage would be amazing.

Interest rates are up. The free money tap got turned off so now every normal citizen is gonna get the broomstick up the ass to make funny big number go up.
