Til about the secret farscore cabal channel only accessible for the top 100 on the leaderboard where conversation is irrelevant but earnings are not. Average daily take for users are an eye watering 100,000 moxie.

Fan tokens for this channel are not available for purchase to those outside the top 100.

Having kids is cool because you get to learn things all over again, and see what you missed.

Today, we went to the natural science museum and learned there’s an entire set of animals/reptiles that came BEFORE the dinosaurs called Permian Monsters???

Japanese ppl take their sunscreen very seriously. They carry it around on keychains and reapply constantly. 

So on a recent visit, I bought up a bunch of different sunscreens to sample back home and immediately noticed how much better they were than any of the American stuff I’ve ever used. 

Turns out it’s not just in my head.
