Tangent #6: Choosing Discord

"If I had to describe it, it's much like buying tampons or going for your annual exam. It's not that you loathe it or hate it so much, but the necessity of it is just uncomfortable enough to make you acutely aware whenever you gotta do it. It's well, vital discomfort."
