idk, a few puns don't compensate for the toxicity of the thread IMO.

Nope

This Vybez is hard as well if you're looking for inspirational dancehall influenced flexing Psalm 91 is kinda the ultimate protective psalm - it's used in Hoodoo and I imagine in Afro-Caribbean magic as well.

Nice to see he's survived the Alex Petrides kiss of death

The board I mean, not just the thread.

This thread is a good example of why I've given up on this board. Worth shutting it down at this point.

Kinda reminds me of Reich a bit, the armour against anything soft
