I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I find it funny that we have people who caught the disease here, people who lost their jobs because of the pandemic, or who have to work on the proverbial frontlines, but the one who is losing his shit the most is a guy who can't climb rocks for a few months.  :lol:

He's literally climbing the walls now.

I think he should focus less on what he can't do and can't change. That way madness lies.

Perhaps he should start meditating to calm himself.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I think the people losing their shit is this high school clique that has been largely getting obliterated in logical arguments with Dorsey and are instead taking out their frustration by this endless disgusting dogpile.  I'm sure Dorsey can and does stick up for himself, but frankly it's been disgusting to observe this dynamic going on for two months here.

Syt

I'm sure his arguments would fall on more fertile ground if he was less hysterical/outraged about it. His constant whining about his personal situation doesn't help. I get that he's frustrated and not predisposed to dealing well with isolation, but in the grand scheme of this pandemic it feels particularly petty and lacking in empathy for other people's circumstances in the crisis.

Guys, this pandemic shit has been hard on everybody.  Don't dogpile on Dorsey.  We're all suffering, and dealing with it in our own ways.  He's been a valued member of our community for over 15 years too.

The fuck he is. And fuck you for suggesting that.
