The cringefest that is The Acolyte

I practically gave up on anything related to Star Wars after Rogue One, and only checked out the Obi-Wan Kenobi series for old time’s sake and still found it wanting.

“Taxpayers”

They’re paying taxes just by buying things because of VAT, they said. That only counts if you didn’t ask for the money to buy anything.

Demokrasya kuno, pero pilitay man gali ang gusto

Pasensya sa post nga ini. Pobre espirito abi ako. Indi ako maalam pareho da sang iban. Amo gani, natingala lang ako sa nagakatabo sa aton pungsod subong. Hambal sang iban demokrasya kita.
