What, you want to tell me I'm somehow obligated to exactly know where and how every service I use is produced?

Talk about a horrible take.

it's not “hating your post history”, it's just realisation that you're a shitty debatelord and talking to you is waste of time.

And yet you're talking to me... To prove some point perhaps? Feel free to ignore or block me if you don't like my posts.
