No mayo? This is bullshit!
watched for free on Youtube Movies inbetween customers over the course of several hours while i stayed late during an already long shift, so if i missed some crucial details that would effect my reading thats why.
i keep coming back to the product placement, how MUCH of it there is and how it is simultaneously commercial and reference joke every time, references to commercials as commercials as jokes but many commercials are also jokes…

CW: general loathing of Reality, very Problematic takes from a dumbass traumaqueer who you were never gonna take seriously anyway.
