    A lot of people read this as “your greatest weakness is now gone” which makes sense given the video game slider analogy

    Meanwhile I’m here like “how do I somehow, hilariously, become unstoppable by means of procrastinating everything”?

    But I did think of it: significantly extend my lifespan by procrastinating dying :]

      It’s not a fortunate power, but time stops for everyone and everything until you are doing something that’s even slightly productive.

      The cosmic burden of knowing that all of time relies on you getting off the couch, grabbing a shower, and getting done whatever tedious chore you’ve been putting off. Constantly.

      Not a boon, but a curse.

      Nine times out of ten, when a question is asked on the internet- it gets taken out of contexts so the people answering can platform whatever dumb shit they feel they need to say.
