:thinking:
double :thinking: to this. Usually MW either does a really long read dump, or doesn't do a read dump for a while. I want to ask MW, what makes you say these things? We're still in, to borrow Zetsu's phrasing, "the slightest of raised eyebrow" territory, so this isn't super egregious, but I still want to know.

I just reread the thread and realised Toben found my irrefutable Boogie proof suspicious. Pls don't listen to him, he is probably also an alien.

Also shocked at how little explanation he's giving this time around, considering the long effortposts he made before this. Then again, we just memein' bro.

hmmmm @Jace, am unsure how seriously to take your read on Toben. Is this a real read, or a meme read?
