You ever suddenly notice that a bunch of your friends or coworkers all steadfastly believe some shit that seems totally counter to what you knew about them, at the same time? It's fucked.
Yeah, that lababu thing was an epiphany of realizing maybe I'm not even part of society culturally and more a foreigner, since how deep the influence of mainstream social media goes is something I'm not as in tune with as I thought. What I get is just a small trickle that occasionally bleeds through into what I use.
Its like the people I'm around live in a completely different sphere of influence from me, and I didn't realize the extent of it until now. I'm missing out being part of a hivemind that has taken over most of the world.
It is very surreal living in a deep red area right now. And not the good kind of surreal.
