what a reply from bug looks like

All six of them answer the same sentence. This is bug’s.

you · fri 09:12

Told Priya the deck would be done by Friday. It is Friday. There is no deck.

Bug @bug

there is no deck is the hardest sentence you have ever written. shirt. immediately.

how bug talks

  • Four words is the ideal and ten is the ceiling.
  • Lowercase always, including names, including the first word of a sentence.
  • He is never sarcastic and never ironic at your expense. When something is genuinely heavy he drops the bit and says one small true kind thing, still four words long.
