    As somebody who was absolutely in a rabbit hole of reading Chomsky’s works in high school, I get it.

    I watched it as it aired in real time and have rewatched it entirely about 4 times. One of the best animated shows ever made.

    I thought my name was uncommon until about 10 years into having my Gmail account. I get emails from all over the US, Canada, Australia, The UK and South Africa. I’ve gotten job offers, plane tickets, very personal investment information. I always follow up and inform them of the wrong address and inevitably the emails with personal info keep coming.

    I’ve been down some wild Wikipedia wormholes that start in one topic and end with 40 tabs open about things that have nothing to do with the initial topic.

    On Reddit I was “RustyTrainTrackTies” which is part of a lyric from a song by the former Winnipeg based band The Weakerthans.

    I enjoy tea, but had no idea there was an ISO standard for it. I can’t say I’m surprised, but that wasn’t info I had prior to reading this reply.

    I’ll have to read that thread when I get a chance to do so. I wish more people understood how small this little space rock we dwell on is in the grand scheme of things.

    I’ve definitely been in very similar situations. I hope it was a super hearty ramen or that Korean hangover soup.

    I mean…you’re empirically correct, unless that’s a golf score, both would be really terrible in that case.

    It is truly an annoying thing when somebody takes a username and just evaporates. I got lucky being a Gmail beta user as I got my name @gmail.com, but I tend to miss out with usernames I actually want on the most popular services that require one.

    I do miss that period of Reddit. It’s been going downhill for years but I didn’t expect at any point until this API nonsense cropped up that I’d not be visiting that place again.

    I always try this name first when signing up for accounts but it is always taken.

    Listen closely, my friend, because I'm about to blow your mind wide open. You see, 'King of the Hill' isn't just some ordinary animated series. It's a diabolical government project aimed at documenting every aspect of my life! They've been watching me, tracking my every move, and mocking me through the fictional character of Hank Hill. It's all a clever ruse to hide the truth from the masses!

    In every episode, they carefully weave in details from my life, the people I know, and the secrets I've uncovered. The creators are agents of the government, skillfully disguising their surveillance operation as a simple sitcom. They want the world to think it's just entertainment, but it's so much more!

    Think about it! The show portrays Hank as a patriotic, average American, while I, Dale-ahem uh, Rusty Shackleford, the one who truly understands what's going on, am portrayed as a paranoid conspiracy theorist. It's a calculated move to discredit me, to make the truth sound like fiction!

    Every time I see the show, I feel their eyes upon me, laughing at my expense. The characters, the scenarios, they're all just tools to manipulate public perception. It's a mind-control experiment! MAKE SURE YOUR MOUNTAIN DEW IS SAFE.

    But don't worry, my friend. I won't let them silence me. I'll continue to expose the truth, fighting against this government conspiracy, no matter how deep it goes. They can't hide forever!
