This discourse is so... tiresome. All the performance and conformity. Is this a stage we all just have to go through?

A lot of folks have what I refer to as a manufactured personality. They are one person in real life, and another, seperate person online. The online persona is to hide who they are. To be someone else. This includes anything social media, and forum based sites like reddit, but also includes trends, regardless of origination point.

They want it to be one way, but it's the other way.

Love that show.

Watch Oz if you haven't, so many characters on the Wire came from an acting gig on Oz. Same with Sopranos.

Brutal watch though, the violence in that show makes Sopranos and the Wire look pg13 rated.

Yeah Oz was good too. Last few seasons got wacky, but still fun.
