I don't either. But luckily, the world has evolved past it, you know what I mean? Like, there are just certain things. Like, when you were young, was there anything that, like, when you went to do it... God, I'm so bad at remembering all of this stuff. Did you shrink an entire load of laundry? Did you... I'm sure I did.

I mean, it's an origin story of addiction, right? Yeah. We get to watch in a single episode of television, like, the very... pedestrian everyday things that happen to people all the time, that when they line up a certain way, a person develops these coping mechanisms or these way of dealing with these codependencies and codependency shows up in a certain way.

anything no they're just being and we're sort of like assigning meaning to their being right now and it's a defense mechanism right because it's it's it's a deep deep uh animalistic tribal survival technique.
