An emotion: *pokes its head through the mountain of suppression I’ve buried it under*
Me, beating it with a stick: Back! Back!
I’m a bit sad that Pepsi didn’t decide to open up a PMC branch after buying up part of the Soviet navy in the 90’s
wait WHAT
“The USSR offered to pay Pepsi with a fleet of diesel ships. Pepsi accepted the deal because they knew that it was the only way to continue to sell Pepsi in the USSR. The agreement included 17 submarines, a cruiser, a frigate and a destroyer, which were sold to a Swedish company for scrap recycling. Those 17 submarines made Pepsi become, for a few days, the 6th largest military power in the world by number of diesel submarines. The president of Pepsi, Donald Kendall, told the National Security Adviser of USA: “We are disarming the USSR faster than you”.“

thank you for this information, I needed to know this and so did all of my followers
the type of people the world gives you –
light:
- glows when they talk, dewy eyes, radiates with a blessing from the sun, calm in the air and goodness in their hearts
ocean:
- bodies full of stories, a will that ebbs and flows, lazy smiles, no real devotion to anything but existence itself, wordless lullabies
earth:
- minds like caverns, hands like stone, to hold or to hurt, heavy irises, earthquake tempers, stubborn desire for constant reconstruction
poison:
- an inexplicable sense of sharpness, hot tears, decaying cores, irreversible tornadoes and infectious whispers
Fun statistical fact: Cows are about 300 times more likely to kill you than coyotes.
Minor sidenote to statistical fact: If it was common for people to keep several hundred coyotes on their property and routinely chase them into a corral and handle them, this statistic would be different.

shapeshifting is the best super power because you can have any haircut any time you want, you can turn into a hotter version of yourself, you can turn into a dragon, you can turn into a robot, you can turn into a shambling mound of abstract shapes and sulk outside your estranged father’s house at night while chanting ominously about his sins,
This took a weird turn, but I’m still on board
Maybe he’s running from the truth
