As a person who is owned by 5 cats I went through 3 Corsair mouses and a Corsair K70 keyboard. And my 25 pound chonk broke my reset button on my Cooler Master tower. But I still love those furry assholes. Read more

Remember: When ruled by a money-hungry ruling class, there is no such thing as compassion, morality, or sympathy - unless its towards them and their wealth, of course.
