It was like like the scariest part was it was like a comfortable numbness it was um It was it's like when you put a frog In a pot and then like raise the water until it boils and the frog never jumps out because it doesn't like realize How like numb it's getting?
um, and then it just becomes like frog soup and then it dies so Versus when I have been like more
Offline, especially recently, and not necessarily being, like, turned off from, like, world events or anything, but being around other humans and trying to, like, be more involved with, like, the shit that I believe in.
Yeah.
It hurts a little bit, but it also helps.

But you look at, like, how strong some, like, online communities are, how there will be, like, ride or dies for, like, streamers or creators or, like, anime or fucking video games.
