            Cocaine is a hell of a drug, it ain’t humdrum

            and we all know where it’s at (everywhere)

            but where it come from? (Tell me!)

            The mountains of Columbia and Peru

            Extracted from the coca leaf, but see this shit ain’t new

            It’s been around for hundreds of years, exploited by the rich

            they even used to put it in Coca-Cola, ain’t that a bitch

      The psyop around getting a bunch of popular liberal celebrities to "stand with Ukraine" was one of the state department's best bits of work in the last decade. People would've soured on the war a lot sooner if they didn't have Mark Hamill and the guy who wrote a story about angry meatballs supporting it.

          Why do they all look like they're being held at gunpoint

          That is lowkey kind of amazing. It is so lazy, I'd be surprised if it took him longer than half an hour, which is a tiny amount for 5 characters. They also look like they're there under duress. I think this sums up the liberal celebrity "support" really well. They take half an hour out of their day to do some half-assed "support" because they want to jerk themselves off over feeling like they're the good guys.

      The mistake can be rectified any time. Take away his typewriter, or whatever the fuck old assholes like him prefer to write on

        I’ve tried to write on those things and they’re such a hassle. The loud ass “ding” throws me off every time I’m deeply concentrating. The electric ones are much better.

          I've never actually written on one. I have played with one in a museum as a kid, but just enough to see how they work mechanically. No paper or ink involved

          They do seem like they'd be satisfying to use, maybe enough to get used to the noises and accept them as part of the process. The part that I'd find annoying is correcting mistakes. Nobody's a perfect typist no matter how much practice they get and maybe if my alternative were hand writing I wouldn't find it so bad but when I have computers at my disposal idk if I could put up with like a 3 step process to correct a typo

            No, not really, you need to use some strenght, so your fingers start to hurt like hell after short while and you need literally develop calluses for it to stop. And idk what even happens after years of work, but i bet it's not pleasant considering all professional typewriters i met had hands looking like harpy talons.

            Overall the main pros of this contraption is that it is faster and more legible than handwriting, but it's completely inferior to computer writing in all aspects except not requiring electricity to work, and that's also why no one except total nerds and 100 year old fossils use them anymore.
