i absolutely hate it when someone tells a story, and they’re doing a good job of it, and they’re getting you into it, and then suddenly the story crosses the bounds of believability..

“some guy was doing X, and it was the best X i’d ever seen.. and then he did Y, too!!!!” and while X is something that’s within the bounds of reason, Y is just too big/fast/powerful/cool/whatever to make any kind of sense from a reasonable point of view.

that’s not to say that i won’t believe it if i haven’t seen it (eg, i will take on someone’s word things that are unusual or extraordinary) - but my suspension of disbelief can only go so far.

and i always feel so betrayed whenever anyone’s telling a cool story and then they’re like “and next he leapt over _three_ tall buildings!!”

on a more positive note, i may be getting a job soon! money means bills being paid! money means food! money means not being evicted!
