    I want to understand the bridge that takes you from not believing in medicine but believing pathogens exist.

          Met a dude during the first covid year, he was completely honest when he told me he smokes meth to kill anything in his lungs because theres no way covid could survive all the meth smoke.

      Delusions are among my favorite aspects of humanity! Everyone has some, they’re universal. Some are just far crazier than others. In this person’s case, they’ve been group mentality’d into a health cult out of either fear, insecurity, or a superiority complex. Delusions are so fun.

        I’m in my 30s but still think I can become an F1 driver some day! Just need to get a go-kart to learn how to race and pull all the sponsorships, then get my big break and call up from McLaren.

        Does anyone have Zak Brown’s number?

          That you’re doing a good job at work and people don’t disparage you when you leave the room. That one keeps me sane, it’s a load bearing delusion.

          Joking aside, a simple feeling of control in situations you have little control over and the capacity to influence luck are both incredibly common and do little to no harm.

                  You feel like you’re being followed when in dim light, but believe that complete darkness affects your pursuer more than it does you. Enjoy the time cost of compulsive light bulb replacement or choose neglect and stubbed toes. Have fun choosing your dining experiences based on lumens.

              And I always assume people disparage me when I leave the room.

                I’ve operated under the assumption that everyone’s polite to my face, but can’t stand being around me since high school.

                It’s always been easy to believe because I don’t think I’d be interested in being acquainted with someone like me if I was somebody else.

                Everything I’ve accomplished in life has just been exceedingly rare blind luck.

          Animal welfare standards in the meat and dairy industry, for one. Well, harmless for the consumer at least.
