    This has been normal for a while too

    As a child, I learned to read the fine print pretty fast because I was so upset when my Transformers didn’t transform like they did on the ads

          And then the adulthood realization, that not only did you never have quite the over-the-top advertised fun you salivated over - but actually, making what you were shown, that was even less fun than you did have.

          So, ya know, I basically feel like it’s reasonable to go from pickin boogers and lookin at TV as a tot directly to <insert_scary_label> radicalism based on this alone.
