A highly hypothetical scenario, for it is extremely unlikely the Donald would ever take the train as if he was some kind of unwashed commoner.

Speaking of though, today when I entered the bus, the only free space was next to the girl I used to have a crush on in high school. We're on good terms, but it was still kind of awkward.

I'm kinda pondering if I should ask out a friend I used to have a crush on, but I'm not quite convinced it's a good idea.

I'll sit next to the fortnite kid and "accidentally" bump his device once he gets into a fight.

No, you’re stuck with them.


Donald then, I guess. If you let a narcissist talk about their favourite topic (themselves and how they're a misunderstood genius), they can be quite good company in short bursts. There's certainly very little pressure to drive the conversation along.

If you think it's a good idea, I'd say why not, but if you don't think it's a good idea, I reckon you should wait until the right time.

I reckon you're entirely correct. Unfortunately, I can't make up my mind about it.

True. In all fairness though, the motives in the scenario described above is much more understandable than post-imperial delusions of grandeur.

To be fair to JonTron, grooming minors and cheating on your wife is a little worse than saying some mildly racist shit which you later recant.

Well, the worst case is she thinks I'm a creepo and doesn't want anything to do with me anymore, but yes, that is a fair point.

JonTron said stuff about how brown people shouldn’t enter the gene pool, and ProJared cheated on his wife with another streamer and solicited nudes from fans. Some underage.

Unless I missed some stuff, I don’t remember him recanting what he said. All he said was that he isn’t a good debater and was just being honest.

ProJared got caught cheating on his wife and sending dick pics to people, and allegedly grooming minors, asking them for nudes. JonTron went on a livestream with Destiny where he said some mildly racist shit.
