255. Yes, I am fucking serious, actually.
I would seriously love for there to be a backstory to all of this.

Just to demonstrate that there's nothing wrong with doubting the veracity of any story told from only one side.

There are always two sides, yet people seem to insist on believing whatever they're told without question as long as it matches their own prejudices.

If someone were to (falsely) post that Walgreens was butchering innocent Americans in the stockrooms, I bet there would be tons of "Those bastards!!!" "Assholes!!!" and "Let's boycott Walgreens!!!" posts. Only one or two would have the sense to check out the truthfulness and tell others it's a lie, but they would be called all sorts of filthy names by those who want to believe the story is true.
