Dude, I am so happy for you.

Right around the time you were coming out of your shell (2018), my dad was killed right in front of me, and I experienced a temporary mental break resulting in unresponsive spastic catatonia. For those who don't know what that's like...think of the scenes in House where they wheel a rigid, eyes-open patient on the gurney and all they "see" is the ceiling lights passing by...that shit is what it is really like when they roll you to ER. I still remember staring at the roof of the elevator, and I remember crying silently when the ER "heavies" performed a sternum rub and then wrenched my arms above my head to install an IV. That shit hurt.

After a massive dose of Ativan and who knows what else, I was myself again mentally, but I still could not speak or move most of my body other than my eyes.

I was aware of locked-in syndrome and was terrified. Thank the deities it was temporary. I can sympathize with your experience so much!! I'm so happy for you and your recovery -- stay strong, brother! We're rooting for you!!!

Pluto says "I was big enough for your mom".

Welp, this is the greatest thing I've seen on the internet this year. Pack in, boys. Andy Weir out here dunking on random Redditors and advocating for Pluto planethood.

Love your work, Andy. Never change.

Believe it or not, but this is the same reaction some deaf people have after they get cochlear implants.
