We need to convince all those newly discovering Dan, those that surface in the "newest" of his comment sections, that his content is entirely real. When people ask: "is this satire?" We need to stand up and defend Dan. His stories, his trauma, are real. And frankly, it's appalling that these people have the audacity to question him.

It's important to be understanding; It's not their fault. But let's be sure to correct the errors in their thinking. For those questioning his actions, be sure to let them know that he did have an amazing reason.

It was all made clear by his Crab-eye.

I just want someone to agree with me that this is kind of interesting lol. For my landscaping job, I have to mix oil and fuel together at the correct ratio in a gas can. It's very difficult to pour all of the mixed gas out of the can, though. So you're always left with some unknown mixture at the bottom of the can when you refill it. My intuition tells me that the overall mixture would become infinitely richer in oil over time if I'm always leaving some at the bottom. So I did some math and the answer is kind of cool to me:

-I'll start off with 10% oil and 90% gas.

-Let's say I leave 10% of the mixture in the bottom of the can when I refill it. So now when I add the proper ratio again, I get 11% oil and 89% gas.

-Repeat the process again and I 11.1% oil and 88.9% gas.

-The pattern is now clear that the richest oil mixture I could ever have is 11.111...

So it does get infinitely richer, but infinitely more negligible as well, lol. I'm also wondering how obvious that was to anyone who does math regularly.

Hey! Let's find out if I'm interesting to you lol. I'm going to overcome the awkwardness of this announcement-like speech by being intensely self aware. But first, I want to make clear that I don't really prefer any particular identities, so whatever age, whatever gender, I'm sure it would be a pleasure to meet you.

So, recently, I've been pursuing longer-form communication for its ability to offer me structure, especially while things are feeling a bit chaotic. Over the past 6 months, I've been robbed of my ability to speak by an unknown affliction of my jaw and, more recently, I've been struggling to write or type without pain in my wrists — perhaps because of the stark shift in communication, but in any case, I am not a victim. I think that's just the arbitrary and ironic way of nature. And just to clarify, I am working on the jaw thing haha.

Lately I've been submitting myself to philosophy. I work as a groundskeeper, so 6 hours a day of riding a lawn mower allows for quite the audiobook collection. Long walks after work help to continue that reflective quality until the sun goes down and I can start again tomorrow. I'm actually on one of those long walks right now :)

Despite being so captivated by philosophy, I would like to imagine that I can have a conversation on just about anything; meaning I'm happy to ask about it, lol. And despite my poor circumstances, I spend most of my time feeling strong and optimistic. Sometimes, in an attempt to express myself, I paint this incredibly grim perspective on my life. Things really are difficult and painful, I can struggle to remember what contentment even feels like. But ultimately, I'm convicted that there's something beautiful in all of it.

Anyone can feel free to send a message or just click out, but thank you for listening to my journal entry.
