    The trick is to give the money to a truly homeless person, they pile the money up in front of a bunch of people, and they burn it.

    Then Karen can't act like she's better, because everyone that knows that Karen is only "worth something" because she had money; has power over Karen

    Elon once tried to be my friend.

    After scraping my data, he must've come to the conclusion that Grimes was the sexiest thing about me, because shortly after; they had a baby.

    True story.

    (Jokes on him, it's a robot sent from my imagination to cuck his weird sperms)
