@Xenophon My question is, when does his workday start? What if he works night shift, and he's having one after work?

Also, if she's so distraught at him drinking beer for breakfast, why is she still with him? I know why. You know why.

@Shlomo This is a fun gif, but I fail to see the connection to ancap.

Learning the Cyrillic alphabet is difficult, but it tickles that part of my brain nicely.

@TikToc @Furgar It took me a moment to figure it out too.
Oof...
