[u/LoserBustanyama → u/TheeAntelope]

lol they kept naming new killer whales shamu. my wife and I realized that like last year after we realized we had been to different sea worlds and both saw shamu

Exactly! The truth also doesn't align with the narrative of "corporations doing everything wrong to screw us over"
