I’m so mentally disordered that I’m not even pictured on the graph…

Prime_E and Southpaw Candybar 4 lyf. I’m not even that deep in the water compared to some.

And Avicii.

They were still bad days, but more along the lines of “this is the worst year of your life so far”

It’s been decades of US-centric media, political commentary, and general cultural dominance/presence in our lives in most English speaking countries whether we liked it or not.

I kind of read this as the elastic band snapping back, we’ve had to hear so much about the US for long, this is almost cathartic. And it’s not people on the fediverse who are responsible, unfortunately you’re probably the most empathetic group in a social media platform at all. You just happen to be here. With a lot of cynical, anti establishment nerds who have a space to vent.

Great for when you need to cry, though.
