Somewhere, one single person was raptured and wondering where everyone else is. No one else noticed their absence. But the rapture did happen.

“Just me? Really?”

This happened in AD 221.

The rapture happened ages ago, but none of us went to heaven. We're staying along for the ride.

Because it's impossible to be good, in the words of Eleanor Shellstrop: "There's this chicken sandwich that if you eat it, it means you hate gay people. And it's delicious!"

I'm sorry but Chick-fil-A is bland as fuck and I'll never understand why people love it so much. The chicken is always dry, the sauce selection sucks, and the lettuce & tomato are always warm & soggy. I just don't get it. Even by fast food standards, the quality is shit. I've been to multiple locations and they're all the same.

It's too bad there's only one fried chicken restaurant in existence

Simply do this for every product you buy, or go to the Bad Place.

I feel like you can keep track of the ones actively doing genocide and famous for it when they're just one franchise instead of a megaconglomerate that makes everything under two hundred different labels.

Go to Popeyes instead of getting in line with the rest of the WASPs, it's not a big ask.

And then the probing began.

Yes Lot, just don't look back, or I'll kill you.

The one raptured dude was super high on fent so they assumed it was an OD.
