when you put it all together like that it makes me wonder how we managed to survive through it all tbh

[thesettingsun]

By being stubborn as hell, probably.

[sharplydressed]

i guess there's something to be said for ridiculous hardheadedness

[thesettingsun]

Sometimes spite will get you farther than hope will.

[sharplydressed]

that's the truest thing
like the saddest
but the truest
retrospec prob should have considered that before making us all annoyed and tired every day

[thesettingsun]

Does that mean that if they were polite we would give up sooner?

[sharplydressed]

i'm not sure about that...
but i mean
we'd have less of a reason to be up in arms against them i guess

[thesettingsun]

That's true. We'd sink into despair much more easily.

[sharplydressed]

now people have a reason to want to burn down their hq instead!
productivity

[thesettingsun]

To be fair, a company is a much more immediate target than 'unreality'. How do you even fight unreality?

[sharplydressed]

good point and good question
i mean
we kind of did but that was also parts of unreality that were really easy to deal with in a semi normal way
the monsters i mean
fighting that is pretty straightforward

[thesettingsun]

We usually don't have straightforward targets like that. Even when we were tiny - you can fight all the bugs you want, but they're not actually responsible for any of this. They're just being bugs.

[sharplydressed]

yeah
it was a little cathartic at first maybe?
but that kind of stuff just get sold fast
*gets old
it would really be ideal if we could stop having big OR small problems but i've accepted that probably won't be the case as long as we're on the network
which i guess is better than being totally ignorant maybe...

[thesettingsun]

I don't want to think about the possibility that I'll suddenly forget all this and go back to thinking that blue and green aren't real colors and that horses are made up.

[sharplydressed]

it's kind of spooky to think about isn't it?
especially since stuff maurice said made it sound like that's how it was for all of us before we ended up with the app
even the "first group" i was part of
ugh

[thesettingsun]

Do you ever wonder if there's other stuff that's not normal you're still accepting as the way things have always been? What if dogs aren't real?

[sharplydressed]

omg
actually no
i hadn't thought of that before but now that's going to haunt my dreams

[TIME TO TELL EVERYONE ELSE HE KNOWS so he isn't suffering alone.]

[thesettingsun]

I'm so sorry, please forgive me.

[sharplydressed]

i guess it's still better to be prepared for all possibilities
but rip

[thesettingsun]

I long for the day when I can be certain about literally anything again.

[sharplydressed]

that totally looks like something you'd read in a textbook from a philosophy class
except it's 100% literal here

[thesettingsun]

All the famous philosophers would have a field day with this Retrospec stuff.

[sharplydressed]

god i bet
i wonder if we'll ever end up being the topic of modern day philosophers
or like some really weird section in the history textbooks

[thesettingsun]

There will be history textbooks that are entirely about this incident.

[sharplydressed]

what if we're like
the modern day equivalent of that one group of people in france who had mass delirium and literally danced to death or whatever
