@Felthry Best estimation: "this is a point the author is clearly invested in making, and it reveals a lot about his personal life in a way that's probably semi-deliberate, and tbh it's a statement that I find pretty resonant, feel slightly called out by, and will have to think more about."
@starkatt ...I'd then have to also ask what you mean by "called out by"
the nuances of language are Hard.
