And I use "normal" in scare quotes, because, according to whom, exactly, capitalism? Society? Yourself? Some of the "weirdest" people I've met in my life where also some of the nicest and actually helped me out. People you'd peg as "normal"? Well I've had my fair share of shit with them. I'm not about to put up with some reddit lord trying to score points with cool kid podcasters by throwing people who feed the homeless under the bus, fuck you very much.

Why “be normal” when you can instead be weird and cool as hell?

Also I think having empathy is a lot more important than trying to meet some arbitrary standard of normalcy. Everyone is at least a little weird and it’s a lot more important imo to try to understand people’s experiences and motivations.
