This is me except I've been playing unemployed factorio so it's not much of a mystery.

Autists at 2am, waiting for everyone else to go to sleep so we can start our day.

We know damn well where the day went. We couldn’t be bothered with the inane bullshit thrust upon us by western society. Instead, we did what we wanted. Learned what we wanted. That is why people like heroin addict Bobby Kennedy fear us.

I definitely didn't do what i wanted.

Western society tried to enforce cleaning and actually progressing in one of my abandoned projects, maybe some light reading, on me? Because that's what I wanted to do. In stead the day just kind of disappeared.
