The closest I got before today was 2022, when I wrote a stream-of-consciousness rant into my iOS notes that ended with basically \"nothing fucking works\". And then that sat there for 4 more years, because \"nothing works\" is too depressing to bother writing 5000 words about. Now, finally, I have an idea. It's gonna take 5000 words to get there, though, so if you don't have that kind of time, skip to the part about registries.",
