Seems like you can do what you need to do

i dont know

What are you talking about

its gross rick

people with no clothes

rick

Lou why don't you just turn it off for today, I'll clean it up when I get home.

but how did it get like this

I don't know.

you dont know

That's right.

why was it never like this before

I don't know, it just happens.

huh

strange thing to just happen

Yeah, strange.

why has it never just happened before

Lou, I have to go

oh hey

while i have you

why did you get home so late last night

I was out with work friends.

you were acting kind of weird

being really loud

Sorry.

and you made a mess in the kitchen

and you fell asleep at the compohhhhhh ok i get it

Let me stop you right there.

I had a lot to drink. I don't feel well. I don't want to talk about it.

rick are you gay

What? No.

are you sure

Do you even know what that means?

i think so

Why don't you tell me what you think it means.

Because I'm working and I don't want to talk.

rick

1:47 PM

rick

Ugh, WHAT

rick if you are gay i want you to know im ok with it

I'm really glad to hear that Lou, because if I was gay that would be really important to me.

And I'm proud of you for that. But I'm not gay.

rick seriously

its me

Lou, I'm not gay.

rick i gotta be honest with you

this is hurting my feelings a little

Louis, listen. I would tell you. I'm not.

i wish you could see what im looking at right now

I don't even want to know what that means.

I'm gonna just go back to work.

2:14 PM

rick

rick i know why you dont want to open up to me

its not your fault rick

this is what the world is like now

ive seen it

people are lonely

theyre scared

they feel like theyre supposed to connect with others this way now

through screens and keyboards

so they put more and more of their lives out there

the toots

the rants

the sandwiches

rick they all want the same thing

to feel like theyre not alone

they take all of the likes and the hearts and the stars and they count them like they mean something

and the more they get

and the further they go down that road of mistaking them for companionship

for understanding

the more they trust strangers and pixelated representations of their loved ones with their self worth

the closer they come to really understanding that those things dont validate their lives

and they never did

not compared to a hug

not compared to really watching the look on a friends face when you share something you created

not compared to even a simple hello on the street

theyre all getting lonelier rick

lonelier by the day

and they dont know how to turn it around

and theyre scared that its already too late

and theyre not sure if anyone even wants to know anything real about them

they worry that nobody remembers how to react to real life with more than a mouse click

they feel like strangers everywhere they go

aliens in their own homes

and the idea of true and actual silence

that idea terrifies them rick

anyway thats why i havent been covering up my poops lately

3:45 PM

rick

4:42 PM

rick

Oh my god Lou, what do you want

rick i think im gay

If you're just trying to get me to say it, it won't work.

no for real i think i might be gay

Ok Lou, why don't you go ahead and tell me what you think that means.

it looks like its like when youre really really into pizza

and plumbing maybe

Yeah, that's not it.

Gay means you like being with people of the same sex.

being with how

like pizza parties

No.

well thats what these guys are acting like

No, it's about sex. Like, in bed. Adult time.

You don't want to go there.

pretty sure its pizza

Lou, shut it down

oh wait

ohhhh wait

rick

Louis, please get off the computer.

thats not what plumbers do

I tried to tell you.

i thought you were

i dont know

being street or something

...what?

oh god rick

rick why do people do this

more to the point why does it have so many likes

Don't be judgmental about it, it's the same as if it was a man and a woman.

It's not what I'm into, but whatever works.

you mean women do it too

youre making it worse rick

Lou, you clearly don't know what you're looking at, so just turn it off.
