I suspect a lot of people have difficulty recognizing that what they believe about the world may not be representative of how the world actually behaves. I certainly do, frequently.
Like with politics, people think they need to go vote and march and stuff to effect change, but if you're willing to accept the idea that there are limits to your ability to perceive the world and your perceptions are misleading, you can pretty reliably go and see that isn't true.
You can also decipher deeper realities like you can basically put whatever you want on flat bread, or that you dadskf;'akse'wfaegqrwt;'lj'a fuck my brain. I'm asd I'm not sure what I was trying to say.

That's ingenious. I assume the Feds forced them to close that loophole?
yep, that one's gone
Hahahhaha I love that the feds just watch everything you do and there's nothing you can really do about it most of the time and no one cares and just accepts that the worst band of jackals and murderers in the world is just watching you pee and people just don't even see why that's something you should be upset about or interested in.
