    LoL yeah right. Me and you? The media is still trying to scare the working class into making sacrifices while the ultra rich continue their opulent lifestyles and companies continue to be the cause of the vast majority of the pollution.

      Have you read the article or just the headline? It was successful in stirring emotion but i guess not in making the people read it. The article is a call for action though tackling inequalities. I do not think it i likely this will happen but i do think it qould be good.

    There’s a medical report that those with larger than average penises are at risk of developing testicular cancer. That could be you and me! I mean clearly it’s me, but it could be you too! (This is, of course, completely fabricated. I’m just using it as an example. I am not at a higher risk of developing testicular cancer. I have no idea if that study exists tho)
