When a nice guy looks like he has done some shady and dark shit. He starts by being the nicest guy ever, treating everyone around him with love and respect, just an all around good guy. Until everyone including your friends and loved ones realize he isn’t who he says he Is except for the woman who’s in love.
Friend girl 1: ooo that guy over by the table looks cute and nice..
Friend girl 2: but he’s giving off some Joe Goldberg Syndrome vibes..

After my brother had that bout with strep, it apparently got to his stomach and paralyzed it, giving him a nasty case of acid reflux, which in turn began to launch acid clear up into his throat and mouth, not only severely damaging his teeth... he's also he's worried he's going to get cancer one day from all that acid where it's not supposed to be. And to say nothing about all the dental surgeries he's gonna need... talk about a case of Rube Goldberg Syndrome!

Basically, a 'machine' that uses many ordinary items, and positions them in a way so that when activated, sometimes by 'knocking down the first domino' so to speak, it leads to a series of events that are all activated by the previous events.

They are hard to build, and sometimes take over 4 months and a millions hours to build, but the results are spectacular.
