Hey Sarsapariller, if you get your money back, can I interest you in an Ageist Potato? I'm only asking for $1000, so you know, it's basically free.

You know.. If thats honestly true about the ben emoji, i feel really sad for him.

As a person whos been on the rear end end of long-going joke, i know how much it can hurt. Maybe thats partially why Ben has been doubling down on his rear end in a top hat behavior? I can safely say that by the time the joke ran through with me, i was a sour jackass to people when they brought it up. like, Zeusing them in Counter Strike 3 rounds in a row to get banned from the match jackass.

Again, Ben, if you read this or ANYONE else who talks to Ben reads this: Its time to lose some weight. Please dont be a statistic. Get some serious help and keep on gaming :)

Sarsapariller might just be the dumbest person in this thread. Even more so than people like Octopede. At least they have just been blinded by optimism. The Sarsapariller class Whale Ship will be loyal to you after it's lost all faith in you.

I'm sorry that reality doesn't fall neatly into the personal narrative you've constructed where all people who choose to spend money on a game of their choosing suffer from some mental disorder that you get to play the hero and save them from. The reality is that people see something in the game that excites them, and they are willing to spend money because of that.
