With the arrival of this technology and the internet itself, restrictions have been abandoned in a | Garfield the Deals Warlock @UltimateSithLord - 5m world where ‘sharing’ or ‘retweeting’ has become the new norm. Because of social media, nothing ever truly belongs to a singular individual | Garfield the Deals Warlock @UltimateSithLord - 3m any longer but rather to the internet en masse. | Garfield the Deals Warlock @UltimateSithLord - 2m in closing, since I’m referencing @TheZoneCast w/ my name, I'll quote this for fun: | Garfield the Deals Warlock @UltimateSithLord - 1m “FANTASY COSTCO, WHERE ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE! GOT A DEAL FOR YOU!”
