Theoretically how fired would I be if I liked every WOWF post calling for "the thing" to happen? Would they wait until the next layoff or just get rid of me now?

Arsenal missed some easy goals. Probably should have won by 4 but I will always take a clean sheet and an Ødegaard goal

Reads: Full Time. Score: Arsenal 1 - 0 Napoli.

Damn it! The game is truly great. Exactly what I wanted and then some. Probably going to land in my top 5 for this year. Crossing everything that people get to come back from being furloughed

Anakin & Padme 4 panel meme.

Panel 1 (Anakin): Star Wars: Zero Company is one of the highest rated Star Wars games of all time.

Panel 2 (Padme): So the devs get bonuses, promotions, and get to keep their jobs right?

Panel 3 (Anakin): does not respond

Panel 4 (Padme): They get to keep their jobs right???
