This has never happened to me before, but if this is normal behavior, Fable 5.1 is essentially unusable.

Everything about this administration is so unhinged, from DOGE to Lake Ontario to Iran to Greenland to taxes to shooting people in the streets to literally every god damned thing that we have absolutely no framework for even conceptualizing what the hell is happening.

Also, half the country lives in a bubble where Trump is anointed by god and saving the country from trans vegan child rapists.

Have you ever opened the website of any B2B software/services provider? By your logic, they're all the most suspicious people on earth, because none of them seem to be able to explain what they actually do.

Worth noting that taxes in the US are a lot lower than they should be because a large portion of government expenses are financed with debt. Canada owns over 400B in US debt, so that's Canada "subsidizing" US taxes.

Intuitively, I would guess that they have a better grasp of what made them fail than successful people have of what made them succeed.

I didn't understand what the word "stress" even meant exactly until I got into my late 30s. Then I realized that I had been under extreme stress for most of my life but had not noticed it because I could just keep going despite constant exhaustion and borderline depression. Then, that suddenly stopped working.

I wish I'd realized this a decade or two earlier.
