Man it’s almost like society is broken and not our brains.
Some people are broken. They’re the narcissists and psychopaths and people who refuse to address their trauma(having trauma is fine, doing nothing about it and making it everyone else’s problem is less so) who we keep handing power to for some fucking reason.

He might have been neglecting other responsibilities.
But yeah he hopefully could have kept it as a hobby!
My brain skipped over “herder” the first time and I was very very confused.
