Then... when COVID happened, the woke starship, shaped like a giant throbbing purple dildo with a 5 o'clock shadow and leaving a trail of bloody feces and rainbow skidmarks, hit warp-speed and now everything is beyond fucked?

I recall. I remember the ole lady and meself shutting off the lights and going to bed… never mad. It was a rule… and then smart phones and 24/7 bs. Downtime alerts you name it. Then you have to pee, bring your phone, check twitter and now you’re back in the matrix
