Yeah, hey, thanks for reading all that. I did not intend to actually write something meaningful here but it did kind of become that. I am usually a "scoff at topic" kind of commenter, and I don't even usually press submit on the stuff that I do write. Reading this article just made it feel like there are all these deeply significant, stupid changes happening right now that I have no real control over and I can see how all these will all become overwhelming. The end state of flooding the zone with shit. I can just imagine my dad allowing the world to become worse just so he can know from afar that somebody else got whatever thought they deserved. And then multiplying that by some millions coefficient to approach reality.
