Openly Borderline Cubes

Spitefully Personal Mail

Zak and Liz talk about Liz having some very healthy and normal feelings about a guy that makes Youtube videos about the block game and Zak rudely pathologizes her with the bible. She continues to double down until it’s not funny anymore.

Liz is trying to get one step closer to living her Tony Stark fantasy life by getting Zak to come up with more things that could be nails for her Jarvis-shaped hammer.

Zak is very upset that Google is reading his emails and making him pay for it. Liz tells us how email actually works and why we should all give up and let Google eat our data. Zak ignores this advice and is considering Fastmail.
