It's weird. This is the only website in the world where I can go in seconds from discussing advanced topics in physics and mathematics, to having to remind people what a hyperbolic idiom is, in their own first language. Most people who have happy lives nonetheless have stressful routines in their lives, from which it benefits them to "unwind". This is how it works for almost all people who "couldn't be happier" with their lives.

Today I learned that no one who experiences stress of any kind is happy, ever.
