Good god. I could understand if this was about helping the US, but this? Just no.

Yeah I've never thought Trump is a wanker as much as I do right now.

People thought he was too stupid to do damage.

No one is too stupid to do damage. In fact the dumber someone is, the more damage they may cause.

Slashes will created new folders in windows format. You can't use them in document naming.

And if you're going to use a Mac you may as well just give up on life altogether.

Yeah don't get me wrong I've always thought he was a wanker, but that feeling has just been magnified manyfold.

The only correct form of date is ISO 8601.

Today is 2020-04-04 <- Acceptable
Today is 2020-04-04T20:44:46Z <- Preferable
Today is 2020-W14-6 <- Ideal
Today is 2020-095 <- Perfect

I still remember how he trash talked one competitor and called her miss piggy. Trump is always on the lookout for someone to roast, and it would be kind of funny if trump wasn't an evil bastard that actually wants to cause human suffering because someone hurt his feelings.

You can use dashes if you want, just keep it consistent so the build order is correct. The introduction of letters will pointlessly throw off build order, since the days of the week don't format in alphabetical order. So don't use that third one.

My guess is that you probably wouldn't like what the EU is doing than.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.


The above post contains hyperbole, metaphoric language, embellishment and exaggeration. It may also include badly translated figures of speech and misused idioms. Analyze accordingly.
