I'm not interesting enough to worry about people being unduly interested in me.
I was going to jokingly post the coordinates to a White Castle in Chicago, but then I thought it might be interpreted as serious doxxing, and I could get permanently suspended.
So just imagine that I did that, and it was really funny.
LMAO gotem! (I'm imagining really hard)
Often when I meet new people they ask me where I live and I find that very strange and I'm uncomfortable with that.
Why do people ask me where I live? I never ask anyone else where they live. I couldn't even imagine asking someone that. Especially upon meeting them for the first time.
But what if one day you turn on the TV and you look on the internet and for no fucking reason everywhere you see your name and address posted, and millions of people commenting about it and sharing it with everyone they know.
How would you feel? How would you react?
I would be deeply confused.
