<p>the government loves blocking what we have bc the government is a fuckin pile of bullshit</p>
<p>and the media uses <abbr title="this shit">ts</abbr> as a marketing tactic to make parents worry abt their kids when in fact 90% the problem is the kid’s psychology</p>
<p>well, guess this sucks (and i hope i don’t find myself in Silivri Prison bc Erdoğan)</p>
<p><small>and i hope the government remembers what it is</small></p>
