19. I've had it out with several people on Thoughts and Prayers being worthless
Mon Mar 5, 2018, 01:35 AM
Mar 2018

I recently pissed them off by telling them about a side business I'm going to start where 10% of the proceeds (to start with) will be going to charities. I said that I was naming it, "Thoughts and Prayers, Ltd." so that something real, tangible, and useful could finally be gotten from Thoughts and Prayers.

They didn't like that (and it won't be my actual business name).
