Don't relax. That's how they gonna getcha

On one hand, I am terrified a lot. On the other hand there are a tuckfun of real life current event examples of how the outside world really is a cyberpunk dystopia, including my nation shambling towards one-party, theocratic white-ethnocentric autocracy. And I'm high on the undesirables list.

Bad things will happen to basically all of us. I hope your karma starts balancing itself out more soon with good things your way.
