A day ago it didn't happen, now it was just an old man with anxiety and insomnia. Yeah, sure.

For the sake of truth, those who flew planes into the WTC on September 11 also had mental health problems. You have to be insane to believe that when you kill and die you will go to heaven where 72 virgins will be waiting for you.

The worst part is if they got the gender and age wrong for the paradise virgins. Turns out its only guys and old men who underwent suicide missions. Both virgins too

Even the Afterlife is subject yo the juisdiction of Supply and Demand

And the fixation with virgins just screams how unsecure they are, fearing any comparison. I'd rather have 72 women who know what they want and know what they are good at.

If NDE research tells us anything, once they’ve died crashing their plane, they likely have to experience the pain and suffering of those they killed, along with the pain and suffering of the loved ones who have to endure the tragedy.

To paraphrase, "when you're dead you don't know you're dead and it's not hard for you. It's hard for your loved ones. Same thing when you're stupid.".

Gotta try out that brand new Temu GPS somewhere.

I'd say he now has quite a few other problems. At least he sorted out the mental problem right quick.
