From their tone, it doesn’t seem as though they object to the character itself, just to it’s choice of accessory, as indicated in their recent letter to Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa:
Dear Mr. Furukawa:
Greetings! I’m writing on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). PETA entities have more than 10 million members and supporters globally. We herd there’s a new star in Mario Kart World: Cow! She is already winning hearts everywhere—including ours. But one detail has us hitting the brakes: The brass ring in Cow’s nose. Would you please show empathy towards bovines and remove the nose ring? Here’s why this is so important:
Nose rings are used by the meat and dairy industries to exploit, control, and even drag animals to their deaths. These brass rings are crudely stabbed through the sensitive septum of cows and bulls, which can cause lasting pain and discomfort. The dairy industry will also clip spiked nose rings on baby cows so that the comforting act of nursing from their mother causes her pain and the baby is rejected and kicked away. To control bulls, a chain might be fastened from the nose ring to the bull’s horn for even more pain-driven control.
The brass ring in Cow’s nose glosses over real world violence and cruelty to animals. That’s why we’re asking you to give this beloved bovine a small but meaningful upgrade: Remove the nose ring and let Cow race freely- without any painful reminders of the industries that treat animals like profit-making machines.
Every animal is someone. So leave the rings to Sonic and let Cow breathe free!
They also made a graphic:
While we’re banning nose rings, let’s ban having women wear nose rings, as well. I’m kidding. Women are free to make themselves as unattractive as they wish.
But on that note, has PETA considered the opinion of the Cow on this matter? Maybe the Cow wanted to wear a nose ring. Maybe it considers nose rings fashionable. Or maybe it likes them.
For that matter, has PETA considered that the Cow in MKW is just a made-up character, and therefore can’t actually suffer? Besides, the Cow looks like it’s having the time of it’s life, riding around on motorcycles with a big smile on its face.
Personally, I doubt that Furukawa will even see PETA’s letter. But if he did, it would probably come off to him as another attempt by someone outside of Japan to influence Japanese media. And I suspect that the Japanese are getting sick of this.
When it comes to PETA and groups like it, you can’t give, even a little bit. Because if you do, that’s just going to encourage them to keep going with this kind of stuff. What you do is ignore them.
Or you ridicule them. That would definitely be a correct way to answer them.
It doesn’t happen consistently, but we now have another instance of someone being caught in the process of doing something incredibly stupid being saved from herself. In this case, we have the picture above, that of Greta Thunberg having lived to see the day that an Israeli soldier handed her a turkey sandwich.
What preceded this: In a publicity stunt, Greta set out on a yacht for the Gaza strip with a negligible aid package, all in an effort to show solidarity with Palestinians.
What nearly happened: Greta wasn’t wearing a burka, so she likely could have lost some blood and became the focal point in another case study in the tragedy of thinking that certain values are universal. Her best hope of surviving or avoiding being held hostage would have come with Hamas having already informed the Palestinians who would have found her that her stunt was way too valuable as propaganda.
What’s currently happening: Israel is to show Greta unedited video footage of the Oct. 7 2023 terror attack on Israel, effectively showing Greta what already happened to other people, and what nearly happened to her.
What’s going to happen: I don’t know. I can’t see the future. The best I could do is guess. If Greta is sufficiently intelligent, she’ll learn a few things about what she’s been defending. There’d probably still be some copycat out for a cynic’s quest.
But as for Greta, the right people aren’t always going to be around to save her from herself, so it’s probably just a matter of time before she ends her career of bullshittery. How it happens is anyone’s guess.
Back in February, the crayon munchers decided to have a one-day boycott over the decisions of companies and retailers to drop DEI programs. The intention was to show these companies “who really holds the power”.
Well now, we finally get to see just what impact their little boycott may have had on the bottom lines of these companies. Let’s check it out (the data was from Not The Bee):
Amazon: 9% growth
Nestlé: 2.8% growth
Target: 1.5% growth
Walmart: 6% growth
General Mills -1% growth
When a boycott is successful, the expected outcome is that a company loses growth.
The boycott rolled a zero. Critical miss.
It seems these businesses generally benefitted a lot more from ditching DEI than they might have lost from the boycott. It also seems as though regular people with real American values have more power in the American marketplace than a bunch of leftists with their stupid boycotts.
The one example of negative growth can easily be attributed to the MAHA movement, which advocates for healthier foods. The left could’ve tried to spite the MAHA movement by buying their processed, seed oil heavy foods. But even where they could’ve screwed up to muster a marginal victory, they still failed. But, to be fair, what happened with General Mills could be attributable to typical fluctuation.
I expected the boycott to fail. I did not expect it to fail so hard. But as companies are starting to align more closely with American values, it does stand to reason that Americans are going to feel more comfortable shopping with them.
That is, unless Americans are secretly okay with retailers pushing pseudo-diverse victimhood narratives on them and their children, in spite of having proven differently with their money. Which is probably one of the fantasies that the left is nurturing at this point.
As for what the left can do to become relevant again, I don’t know. But considering that they sincerely believed that Kamala Harris was a viable candidate, I wouldn’t expect them to understand what resonates with the American public.
They can go right on having fun pretending to be the resistance. They are rebels without a cause. Or an effect.
Did you hear the one about the guy who doesn’t know Jack about the games industry who is suddenly an expert on economics and geopolitics? You probably did, because there are so many such larpers shooting their mouths off. And you’re probably laughing just as hard as I am.
Days ago, Nintendo revealed the price point on their upcoming Switch 2 system, but have subsequently delayed pre-orders, as they reevaluate what they may charge for the system. This occurs as tariffs go into effect, and it seems reasonable to guess that there’s a causal connection.
While it’s easy to get ansey about how much the Switch 2 will cost, if you had the intention of buying one, you’re probably about two months away from having one, and three away from not caring what you paid for it.
How can I say that so confidently? Because I’ve been through this many times. On launch day for GameCube, I could have cared whether I had the $200 to buy one. But after that, I had one. I waited a bit to buy Wii, but after I got that, I didn’t even remember how much it cost. Same with Switch. Once the hurtle of initial expence is cleared, people are just going to move on to the next thing.
And if Nintendo is going to offer something of greater value than what they already have, wouldn’t it follow that they’d charge more for it? And if someone thinks the price is too high, they can decide not to buy it. No one is forcing anyone to make a purchase. It’s a free market.
And speaking of price points, it seems like fainting spells are on the uptick, because Nintendo is setting the MSRP for Mario Kart World at $80. People are used to paying $60 for a game, and here I’m remembering how much a new copy of Chrono Trigger cost in the nineties. Depending on where you looked, it would have been as much as $90.
Nintendo’s reasoning for the price point for Mario Kart World is that they put a lot of effort into the game. And this is reasonable. If I’m going to be getting a lot of game with lots of play and replay value, then it’s worth the money.
If you bought a new game with the complete DLC package, such as Pokémon Violet, then you probably spent $94.98 for it, before taking sales theft tax into account. Whether you would have gotten your money’s worth is up to you, but if that’s what you spent, then you were somehow able to justify making that purchase. Compared to that, to spend only $80 on Mario Kart World sounds a bit more reasonable.
But if that doesn’t seem reasonable to you, you don’t have to buy it. When it comes down to it, it’s the consumer who decides the value of a product, not the company that made it, regardless of inputs. And if you don’t want to pay the MSRP, you can just not buy the product. You might even find it at a more agreeable price later on.
But the temper tantrums are pointless. Nintendo knew that they’d hear screeching over any choice they’d make, and they’ve already figured out that they could just ignore it.
The PS5 Pro’s price didn’t come down, the Minecraft movie was still made, and Sonic from Sonic Boom still has blue arms. Nobody cares that someone from YouTube pretended to understand economics.
To get right to the heart of the matter, which I’m not hearing much about: Nintendo has investors, and Nintendo doesn’t want to upset them. To that end, they’d much rather turn a profit on the Switch 2’s first year. Pricing Switch 2 above cost would seem expedient to this.
Sure, Nintendo’s stock has fallen in the last few days, and this correlates with fans learning of the pricing of Switch 2 games. It’s also rebounded since yesterday, indicating that it wasn’t a lasting trend. But I suspect that sales numbers will play a larger role in stock valuation.
Care to guess whether millions of Nintendo fans, and way too many loathsome scalpers, would contribute to huge Switch 2 sales at launch even if it were to be priced like the PS5 Pro?
Pictured above is the gameplan for a left-wing one-day boycott of major businesses and services, in the hopes of sending a message. That message being, “we show them who really holds the power”.
The boycott is being pitched as non-partisan, but considering it’s traction among the left, it’s plainly a reaction on their part because they’re upset that they’re losing their grip on culture. The claim of being non-partisan is clearly intended as an attempt to expand leftists’ influence when they know that they are not culturally dominant.
They are not the “silent majority”, and the 2024 Presidential election provided the numbers to prove it.
Here’s a list of their extended gameplan, which makes mention of companies that have ditched DEI, such as Wal-Mart and Amazon:
You might be wondering, “Raizen, what are you doing sharing their gameplan? Doesn’t that help them?” I’ll explain why passing this info along doesn’t help them in the following list of reasons the boycott is almost certain to fail:
Boycotters prep for one-day boycotts by making their purchases in advance, or making up for them in the days after, so the companys’ bottom lines are often unaffected. This is especially the case with products such as gasoline.
Investors who learn of the boycott in advance can reallocate their investments, and thus profit off the boycott.
Imagine consoomers not consooming for a day.
Some people may decide to spend an inordinate amount on the day of the boycott, out of spite.
People tend to have less money when they don’t understand how the world works. For that reason, if leftist foot soldiers decide not to spend for a day, it’s probably not going to be very impactful.
And a bunch of leftists presume to tell the rest of us about economics.
So no, it’s not necessary for you to make a big ol’ shopping list and go wild on Friday. The left-wing one-day boycott is largely self-defeating.
And with how much better off companies that ditch DEI are likely to be in the long-term, they probably won’t much care.
Rich from ReviewTechUSA, as seen on his now-defunct YouTube channel.
Consider what it takes to be a dad. You might have thought of virtues such as strength, attractiveness, thriftiness, skill, discipline, conviction, and the intelligence to make a plan and see it through to fruition.
But what it really takes is finding a woman who will let you blow your load inside of her.
This becomes easy to see as one ponders the falling-off of Rich, also known as ReviewTechUSA, who has proceeded to throw his toys on the floor and stomp out of the room because he was designated a “lolcow”.
You can try searching for his YouTube channel, but you won’t find it, because he deleted it as part of his temper tantrum. Instead, if you were to look for ReviewTechUSA on YouTube, all that would be left would be videos from creators who criticized him, in many cases rightly so.
His image took a tumble, so rather than just shut up and course-correct, Rich instead ceded ground to all his critics, destroying a money-making channel with a following that took years to build.
What’s especially disappointing about Rich’s recent behavior for me is that he was one of my favorite gaming and tech world commentators when I was in college, back when he would rant about this, that, and the third as gameplay video of GTA would play. I didn’t always agree with him, but I did appreciate his viewpoints.
We could bring up the irony of the fact that his channel was called “ReviewTechUSA”, even though he hasn’t really reviewed tech as a focus since the early days of his channel. I suspect that this has a lot to do with the fact that he turned heavily tribalistic when it came to brands. He was a heavy critic of Apple, and if your tech review channel is just going to dump on Apple, don’t count on Apple to send you new iterations of their products for review.
It seemed that his early videos were enthusiastic about PC parts, which makes me suspicious that ReviewTechUSA was a means to write off a man’s PC gaming money trap, while raking in that sweet, sweet e-clout.
It didn’t help that he would sometimes spout off about some controversial takes. If what you have to say is controversial enough, tech brands might not want their products associated with you.
From what I’ve heard, Rich also went TDS. To risk alienating as much as half of your audience is highly inadvisable. That’s the risk that comes with approaching political content. It might be tempting to go TDS, considering that Trump supporters are more likely to be able to take a joke, but it’s a black hole. When your audience is composed of leftists, they’re likely to be hyper-sensitive, and willing to cancel you for saying the wrong thing at any given moment, and they’re not known for their forgiveness, even with profuse groveling.
With that framing, you might be wondering how Rich fucked up. Did he point out that men and women are different? Or did he go full Hitler and point out that different people from different parts of the world have different cultures?
Nope. He was a shitty dad. His little girl wanted him to put her to bed, but he declined so that he could continue his stream. Which, considering his typical routine, probably consisted of taking off his shirt and playing with a rubber chicken, while self-deprecating by calling himself a fat fuck (his words, not mine).
Naturally, this pissed people the hell off, because when you’re a dad, your first duty is to your family, and a shitty ass livestream doesn’t even come close to it. And because the current system is fucking over young men who have been trying way harder than their fathers and grandfathers before them to accomplish the same thing in a financially responsible manner, this is only upsetting young men all the more that Rich is not properly appreciating the family that he has, and which is his responsibility.
So, latest development, Rich has been branded a lolcow. But, as the tendency of lolcows is, he takes himself way too seriously, so he’s not leaning into it. Just the reverse, he was willing to torch his own paycheck to avoid confronting his critics, destroying a YouTube channel that could have continued to generate passive income for him if he were to just let it sit, doing nothing else with it.
But Rich took a blow to his pride, and he’s not handling it well.
Where he goes from here, I don’t know. Where exactly does someone go if they were once e-famous, but then deleted their own channel? Does he have a backup plan? Can his lengthy experience playing with his nipples in front of a camera somehow transfer to another career choice?
Considering that Rich has a little person who is counting on him, he needs to figure things out pretty quick. Unlike most young single men, he can’t just fall back on sleeping in a car when times are rough.
But we’ll see whether Trump working as a fry cook would discourage him at all from doing the same thing.
EDIT: Okay, so he has a plan. Rich says that instead of gaming commentary, he’s going to do “grown-up” things like comment on the news and politics.
First, it can be pointed out how this new direction would be catastrophic for a man in his mental state. Few people could get into that kind of content without it frying their brains. People who get into politics tend to become tribalistic, which tends towards people becoming so closed-minded that they refuse to see any virtue in a person in the rival tribe. What’s more, news commentary requires a person to have their finger on the pulse of current events on a near constant basis.
Then there’s his implication that games commentary is beneath his level of maturity. Rich was once one of the guys who argued that it shouldn’t be seen as unusual for a middle-aged man to play video games. And now that video games are no longer stigmatized, he goes and acts like playing them is for less mature people.
But if news and politics are how Rich is deciding to rebrand himself, let’s see how seriously anyone will take a man who played with his man-boobs on livestream when he fires off his mouth about current events, or what can be brought into the conversation about politics by a man who engaged in sensuous play with a cucumber, also on livestream (you could probably guess that there was a point when I lost interest in his channel).
But, if he insists, then he’s free to fire off about how he believes the rest of us should live, and the narratives that we should view the world through, in consideration of the exemplar of virtue that he obviously is.
It’s time for another dose of basic observation of reality. And today, it’s needed because a bunch of professionally-offended social media losers are throwing a fit over the creative decisions of a Chinese video game company.
Recently, the game company Mihoyo revealed a new Natlan setting for their Genshin Impact mobile game. It was recently revealed that the setting for the region has elements of inspiration from the African and South American continent, and even though the game is a few years old and has been played by millions of players, people are just now realizing that there aren’t any black characters in the game.
Even though the number of African tribesman who give a shit about skin tones in a game that they’ve never heard of is probably precisely zero, a bunch of Reddit and Twitter users have proceeded to flood Mihoyo with complaints, because that’s pretty much all they can do.
What they didn’t count on is that Mihoyo is based, and stated that Genshin Impact is just a video game, that any character can look the way that the game’s makers want them to look, and that, because it’s a work of fiction, nothing about Genshin Impact has any bearing on reality.
Basically, a Chinese game company told them what their parents should have told them back when their ages consisted of a single digit. They probably also quickly figured out what was going on by sorting complaints by IP address, and finding that hundreds at a time are coming from the exact same device. And, having been at this for years, they’re probably aware that, when you work in customer service, you’ll encounter a bunch of people with mental illnesses who hide behind sockpuppet accounts, and are so crazy that they think media contains hidden messages from the government/simulation intended specifically for them.
Ask me how I know.
One could easily point out that if there were black characters in the game, then the perpetually-offended will instead complain about cultural appropriation. One might even get the idea that one just can’t win with them. But you can win. When one of them starts getting offended on someone else’s behalf, just don’t engage with them. Let them bang their pots and pans together, where they’ll accomplish nothing.
And while you’re at it, savor the sad irony of the fact that, even though they are connected to the summation of human knowledge, if they had spent even half the effort that they put into being offended instead learning to do something useful, they might have self-taught themselves a skilled trade, and our generation may even have already cured cancer. Or at least learn how to make their own video games. Or even learn to draw in the anime style, so they can beat off to something which they drew, rather than relying on other people to draw it for them. Instead, they are actually dumber than they would be if they had never discovered the internet.
I don’t know what an African tribesman would think of Genshin Impact if they were to learn about it. It’s easy to imagine that such an experience would be their first brush with the technology needed to run the game. Their typical concerns would more likely involve whether a neighboring tribe would invade them while they slept, forcibly remove their genitals, then sell them into forced labor (something that a dumbass neighboring chieftain may attempt to do just because he had a bad dream). There’s also the question of whether they can get enough to eat, something that a person who is aware that mobile games exist probably never has to worry about. An African tribesman cannot possibly give a shit about the skin tones of imaginary characters in a mobile game that they’ve never heard of, and if they had somehow heard of it, they’d probably join the Chinese in wondering just what the hell is wrong with anyone who would give a care. To become offended on behalf of an African tribesman is supremely pointless.
Genshin Impact is just a game, and nothing about it has any bearing on the real world. In that respect, it’s like any video game ever. If you don’t have fun playing that game, your solution to that problem is to not play that game.
If Mihoyo is going to be based concerning this matter, I might just support them. And not just because I want to add Nilou to my roster.
Some voice actors came out against Mihoyo on this matter. This is pretty brave, considering that it’s easier than it’s ever been to replace them. Also, it’s probably true that they’re under contractual obligation to not lay a steaming, fiber-rich loaf all over their employer.
One of them went as far as to call Mihoyo’s actions “unforgivable”. I get that people use that phrase to be dramatic, but they should think about what that means. If someone calls anything that I do “unforgivable”, what they’re saying is that I cannot possibly be reconciled to them, I don’t see any reason to waste any energy trying to impress them.
I look forward to the contributions of the replacement VAs. And if Mihoyo goes the AI route, that would go to show how impressive that the technology has become.
Apparently, Chris Chan is planning a collab with Keffals. This was according to Chris, as he posted the following on X:
You may know who Chris Chan is, as he is considered the most well-known of all lolcows. A couple years ago, he committed a sexual offense involving his own mother, becoming a case study in true crime, and ascending to horrorcow status.
Keffals is a bit more obscure, but perhaps far more enraging. He became known for making HRT drugs at home to sell to minors without their parent’s knowledge or consent, and ran an infamous “catboy ranch”.
The packaging for his bathtub-made HRT contains the phrase, “Keep out of reach of parents.”
Both persons are males who pretend to be women, and both hate Kiwi Farms with a passion, so it wasn’t terribly unlikely that the two would have eventually found each other.
If you’re unfamiliar with Kiwi Farms, it’s an online message board that initially focused on discussing Chris Chan, but has since pivoted to discussing the ridiculous things that social media personalities do. It’s often made out to be a hive for online bullies, and while it’s true that many of its members are unsavory individuals, I think the board as it is now can be justified. In fact, I’ll go ahead and do that now.
Suppose that arson was legal. As in, you could do it, and the law wouldn’t lay a finger on you. Would you do it?
If you’re like most people, your answer would be, “No!”. This is because most people would see arson as immoral, regardless of what the law allowed.
But suppose that, not only was arson legal, it was actually incentivized. Five dollars for each house destroyed. Odds are, most people would still refuse to do it, and would be outraged at such an incentive, if it were to exist.
However, some people would jump at the offer. “Five dollars, per? Hells yeah!” they’d scream, before getting to work. We would call such people “sociopaths”, because what little they’d have to gain is something which, in their minds, outweighs the suffering that they’d cause.
But suppose that homes were being destroyed, but rather than by acts of arson, instead through influence. Suppose that a level of abstraction separates the act that destroys the home from the home being destroyed, in such a way that allowed for plausible deniability on the part of the influencer.
The influencer might influence people to drink base liquids, eat laundry detergent, dive from moving speedboats, take prescription drugs without a prescription, idolize dangerous terrorists, make self-destructive lifestyle choices, and many, many more acts which, if people were to try them, the likely outcome is that families could be torn apart, property could be damaged, and even lives could be lost. And while all this is going on, influencers are financially rewarded just for the attention that they get.
If this were to happen, and if it were financially incentivized, would you see that as a problem?
Let’s drop the hypotheticals. After all, you probably knew what I was getting at when I brought up the influencers. The fact is, influencers do encourage destructive behaviors. These behaviors have caused damage that these influencers didn’t have to face consequences for. And yes, these influencers are being financially incentivized to accrete attention to themselves, even if the attention is through the promotion of destructive and socially corrosive ideologies and activities.
These influencers are the sociopaths who don’t give a damn what damage that they might cause for you or for anyone else, so long as they’re getting the attention that they want, and the money that they really care about.
These sociopaths are among the many influencers on social media.
They don’t have to believe what they’re saying. And they usually don’t. They don’t have to see the communities, families, or individuals whose lives they are destroying. And they couldn’t bring themselves to care. They might even convince you that they’re your friend, when in reality, your mere attention only slightly enables the transaction that is their sincere desire.
By now, you’re probably wondering what can be done about these influencers. The answer is to shine a light on them, and subject them to the ridicule and satire that is richly merited.
That’s where Kiwi Farms comes in.
If it weren’t for Kiwi Farms, deviants such as Chris Chan and Keffals would have a much easier time being the predators that they are.
And now that the two have found each other, it’s become much more important that an eye is kept on the two. Because if the two are the miscreants that they are independent of one another, just imagine what they can come up with working together.
Honestly, I struggled to keep focus. When someone starts spouting metaphysical pseudo-spiritual psycho-babble in the same way that Chris Chan has been lately, I have a hard time staying engaged. At that point, I just assume that they don’t have anything of value to say, and my mind drifts to something I’d rather be doing. Such as playing a video game, or modifying a recipe, or even something as normally dull as watching some soap opera that my mom liked, which goes to show how long the list of things I’d rather be doing can get when I’m stretching what politeness that I have to wait for them to just finish talking so I can say, “Hey, that was something. Thanks for sharing that. Bye.”
At some point, I caught that she didn’t quite understand how to explain the gender she felt like, which sounds like she’s under-qualified to do as much as exercise simple metacognition. Because of this, I wonder whether she was really successfully stringing her sentences together, or my mind was somehow filling in the blanks in a hallucinatory manner, similar to how holes in a wall can disappear when they are covered by a blind spot.
Now, here I am pondering whether this wonder of a person can so much as operate a microwave unsupervised, or whether this task is delegated to a handler in an institution. In either case, it’s clear that she’s not wanting for something to eat.
What I did get out of the video is that some woman out there doesn’t know how to explain a gender that’s a product of her own imagination, but she’s so cocksure that she’ll assert that she still knows it better than you.
Whatever drugs she’s taking to make her happy, they seem to be working a treat.
You’re not ready for this. You’re about to laugh the hardest you have laughed in a long time.
You sitting down? Here we go:
This tiktoker harassed a McDonald’s employee because their packaging was blue and white. He calmly explained they changed it a few months ago and it has nothing to do with Israel. She insisted it does. He stayed cool throughout. Give this man a raise! pic.twitter.com/5DaNngF0Fc
As much as I’d like to believe that this was all some act, I know that people like this actually exist. When you’ve had a job in which you have to interact with the public, you see many different kinds.
But this is truly special. Here’s the kind of person who listens to a televangelist, and thinks that the sermon had some kind of special, hidden message that was intended specifically for them. The kind of person who makes financial decisions based on horoscopes, and names their kids after the first name they hear after turning on the radio, because fuck any chance they could have at living normal.
“Wow. What does that resemble?” Could it be the McDonald’s logo? A helpful reminder of where you just spent your money? The icon to blame for making you fat?
The moment you heard the woman say, “This is in support of Israel.”, you couldn’t see the guy’s face, but you could hear it drop. I know that wage slaves are under enormous pressure to maintain a veneer of professionalism, but I can’t imagine any manager out there would fault him for saying, “Are you serious?”
But you heard her tone, she was as totes cereal as a sack of processed grains at the supermarket.
What are the odds that two basic colors used on fast food packaging could coincidentally resemble the colors of Israel’s flag? So low that, according to the people who put watermelons in their X posts because the colors are similar to the colors of the Palestinian flag, it couldn’t be a coincidence, and must necessarily indicate support for the state of Israel.
I get the fact that stupid people believe in synchronicities to help them cope with the fact that they’re going to die someday, and that there is nothing special about them, but it’s time to keep it real: belief in synchronicities can destroy your mind. And the above video has shown us a great example.
