DoomsdaysCW<p>Gee, I remember when drinking beer and car burnouts were an activity that teenagers indulged in (I may have been one of them. And yes, tire pollution is nasty, but we didn't think about that back then). Do <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ACAB</span></a> find burnouts to be intimidating?
