@RustyCrab my roommate will sometimes tell me the most crazy shit you've ever heard and i'm like "where did you hear that?" and he shows me an instagram reel of some guy spouting fake statistics while holding an unrelated book.
i've been trying to beat it into him that he actually needs to look up any dubious information he sees on the internet, but i'm beginning to think he really doesn't know what "dubious" even means.

@RustyCrab dude i could go on for hours about all the stupid shit he's done and i've only known him for two years, it's insane. like, i have no idea how he's actually made it this far.
@beardalaxy im beginning to realize that in the modern environment being retarded is the key to a happy life
@RustyCrab the problem is that if you're not retarded enough, you'll be even more sad because you KNOW you're retarded
