I'll be upfront with you here, I don't go out much. I don't mean I sit around doing nothing, but going into town or whatever is not my idea of enjoyment. I used to do all my shopping at like 3-4 in the morning before the pandemic came and ended overnight grocery hours. I shop as early as possible now and I have put off groceries until I had the free time to get up at 5:30 in the AM and ate expired egg noodles and Chunk Salsa for 3 days in a row to do it

Anyways, when did everything get so fucking loud??? The sound is loud, the lights are loud, people text loud, people watching fucking youtube at full blast in public. wtf???? It was like being blasted by horse cum in every sensory orifice at the same time. the simulation blaring loudly directly into your spinal column. Like banging speed into your dick vein. I was legit in pain, and I don't usually have sensory problems but it was harrowing. Why are we doing this to ourselves? are we so worried about hearing our own thoughts that we just spend all day in the sensory equivalent of those Japanese folk that stand under freezing cold waterfalls to stop the inner voice from telling us how shitty we've made the world??

FUck that
