The rise and fall of this grift has been such a gift to me. It has introduced some of the goofiest characters and goofiest feuds. I have had so many delightful conversations stemming from this shit. What a time to be alive.
One of my childhood friends fell for the red pill etc shuck and invariably reaped nothing but degradation. It has been frustrating, but there really is nothing like having a living example of "there but for the grace of God go I" in your life
