I CAN'T SUPPORT THIS PROJECT BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF CORRUPT, GODLESS COMMUNISTS.

JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR EDUCATION?

I LEARNED EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

HOW DOES THAT HELP YOU EVALUATE A TECHNICAL PROPOSAL?

IT'S SIMPLE. I TAKE ONE LOOK AT ALL OF YOUR JERKY FACES, AND I KNOW EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW.

I MEAN, LOOK AT THIS GUY'S FACE.

HE'S OBVIOUSLY A GRIFTER.

LUCKY GUESS.

THIS ONE OBVIOUSLY HAS ANGER ISSUES.

I DEMAND A LARGER SAMPLE SIZE!

WHATEVER, GEEKFACE.
