Cryptocurrency dipshits don't bother follow requesting me btw ​

Just learned about briscola and I’m losing my autistic little mind over it.
They took a deck of cards *with numbers* and just decided they have numerical values in a *totally different order*. Wtf. Most Italian bullshit I’ve ever heard of

Just had a positive trans healthcare experience??? AMA
