Because crack is wack, coke ain’t woke, ya don’t need weed, and generally speaking drugs are for thugs. But indulging in regulated vices is good for the economy and government, so gamble to your heart’s content!
Rundown (04/22-04/28) Degeneracy All The Way!
If it is not obvious by now, while I do portray and present myself as a calm and rational member of society who wishes to help and assist others whenever possible, I actually consider myself to be something of a degenerate. I adore things that I genuinely know “normal people” who view as unacceptable, and while I know well enough to keep these things out of regular conversation, I just cannot help myself and get genuinely giddy when I find something incredibly messed up. Whether it be a story about murderous trans-dimensional flesh monsters, a show wherein a woman is forced to eat an omelet filled with feces, poop, and semen, or this awful censored header image, which you can find by digging through the archives on ONAT’s Patreon.
