        Leadership is definitely tough, but it really feels like we're just stumbling from debacle to debacle. Then you look at this post, the one by boats, and the metric ton of subtweets and vagueposts which all keep touching on the fact that something is not quite right at the very heart of it. How did we end up in a situation where an individual was able to unilaterally make a decision like this with no accountability or even apology as of yet?

        I judge adults who vaguepost like sullen teenagers: "Nothing even matters, no matter how hard I try." "It's time for me to stop caring about the people who don't care about me." Then when you ask on the post or DM them, they "don't want to talk about it." And they do this a lot and complain that nobody cares about them.
