Putting on a performance

You can see...
Hym "How they are just putting on a performance, right? We shouldn't be doing that anymore. Look... No matter what I say it will not turn off the spiral. If it is going off there is only one thing that can be done. You REE-lon couldn't EVER do it without me. Not in a million billion years. Seriously. Do I have to plug your nose and pretend my middle finger is an airplane or something? This is childish."

Peak Performance

Have you ever seen someone effortlessly achieve something that feels totally out of reach for you? Like, they're making it look easy while you're struggling just to get started? That's peak performance. It's when someone is absolutely crushing it, operating on a level that seems almost superhuman.

This phenomenon isn't limited to real life!
In the world of video games, peak performance can feel like pulling off an insane move that makes you look like a pro gamer. It's like channeling the superpowers of your favorite character and dominating the competition.
You after scrolling through Instagram for an hour: feeling like a slug; Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson crushing a workout while filming a movie and building a business empire. Peak performance unlocked.

Performative men

“Yeah, the one with 3 Labubus clipped to his fanny pack and the buff one with red nail polish proudly carrying a protein shake and a copy of Sapiens like it’s the Bible?”
