Thank you. Surprisingly, I'm finding people here and there that are making social existence a little more comfortable, but getting comfortable is usually when I'm assraped by something else. So what do we do to keep ourselves sane? It seems like being aware of it just creates an even bigger source of duress.

Well, I guess that guy on reddit got zooted. Guess that shows the rewards for acting out. Targeting the social sphere is probably an incredibly effective tactic. Reminds me of the social shaming tactics that women use when you step out of line. With so many people disconnected from in-person types of interaction and reliant on social media structures to communicate their every blessed thought, the threat of removal from that? Ooh, that'll knock the wings right off of a lot of folks.

It's pretty bad out there, but outside of a DIY lobotomy, looks like we're here for the ride. Drugs and alcohol are just sort of expensive and temporary numbing agents at best though. I can't understand how people get addicted to any of it, the benefits rarely surpass the feeling of lukewarm garbage.

Go be in the mud. Dive in, grip the earth between your fingers and just be free for the little pocket of time. I would kill to get out to the beach for a few hours, let me live vicariously through you. Just wash off really good, 'cause pinworms and whatnot.
