A certified goofy from Saint Louis. Stands 5’5” , hides behind a monitor and talks tough like he’s 7 feet tall. Multiple sources confirm he’s quiet and pussy in real life, known for ducking smoke and avoiding eye contact. Timid in real life, but transforms into a keyboard warrior the second Wi-Fi connects. Known for running his mouth online, dodging all confrontation in real life. All bark, no bite — the final boss of internet thugs.

The situation where people who have excessive screen time per day will get an eye, whilst AFK moments are "normalized" (i.e. happens more frequently and feels less painful). For example, in K-12 school campuses where smartphones must be collected during school hours, which is akcually meant to create conducive learning environments and not to "condition" students for unavoidable AFK moments in the foreseeable future.
At school, we have to hand in our phones, which makes AFK normalcy a real thing—everyone's so used to stepping away from their screens that it hardly bothers us anymore!
