I’m tired of influencers faking nervousness. my generation wants to care less these days. it’s a counter-current hack. we want to be less defined. we can search and reflect for ourselves. we’re sick of the emotion that’s all over everyone’s faces, the unsightly splotches of opinion. the entire election machine, the process of getting there, is smudged. It’s a curated mess, an advising spin, an incomprehensible hex: “Oh profit pondering, contradictory means to an end - bless weave, and conceal, bloodless dollar debt options, painful penny pincher paradoxes, and deadly debt bliss dilemmas..” “Is this a witch or an arbitrager?” Lisa asked, after rudely leaning over and reading up to this point. “I was shooting for a numinous type of beat,” I revealed. “We’re supposed to be working on our thesis definitions,” she said accusingly. “Are you not challenged, here, hour by hour?” I asked sarcastically. “I need ideas - well - I have too many ideas, I need some focus, I wanted to see what you had.” I deadpan looked at her, “Well, you broke the spell - I lost my train.” I complained dryly. “Don’t put me in a situation.” she said, waving my gripe off as insignificant. . .

That sounds like some shady sarcasm.
