I saw this and thought of you ;)


I've noticed a trend, especially around tech reviewers, to use the word "Super" as a filler instead of a descriptive word.

e.g. "..it's super not bad..."

So, it's .... "excellent" (right?)

"...it gets super super hot..." ?

 

Luke used to do it constantly, but as he's no longer getting much airtime it's not so bad on LTT, but Linus still drops some belters from time to time.

This is super pedantic. No, super SUPER pedantic.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.
