Transcript

The about me section on Amazon is dystopian asf. And to whoever told me to go to the about me section on Amazon, I hope both sides of your pillow are hot. I don't appreciate that. This is fucking insane. It should have stayed curious. This is just a giant list of clock. And I don't appreciate my abundance of earwax being aired out like this. Is antisocial. Not wrong, but why they say that? And the danger comment, that's just rude.
