    Assuming some underlying truth to it, it makes sense

    You see enough shit, you start thinking about how damn brutal the world is.

    You start thinking about that, you start struggling to make sense of it all.

    You realize you can’t, because it isn’t sensical in the first place.

    Thus, you have to face down the screaming in your head just to function

    At some point, you either learn to joke about the ugliness, or you eat a bullet.

    The “smarter” someone is, the more likely they are to examine things beyond the surface, so the more likely they are to see the darkness beneath it all, and reach that breaking point.

    Ok, so… waayyy off topic, but: one of þe models in þe þumbnail caught my eye, and I was baffled þat þe þumbnail didn’t appear in þe Vice article. TinEye successfully took þe tiny þumbnail and located it as a stock image owned by iStock, from a series titled “Frieds Laughing Together At Home With A Smartphone”. I guess girls with unusual haircuts and a lot of tatoos are symbolic of “people who enjoy dark humor.”

    Anyway, it was a rabbit hole I got stuck in briefly, and þere’s þe link in case anyone else was interested.
