slipping this diagram into totally irrelevant discourse just to show off how big my brain is

this is the principle by which I dropped out of college and moved to a foreign country I’d never been to, quit one of the best paying jobs on the planet to start my own business, and got my motorcycle license, among other things. I regret none of it.
