The Barrow

Every now again, when I spend some time outside “touching grass,” as the Internet calls it, I get the overwhelming feeling that... maybe everything is going to be okay? People are generally a lot less stupid in person than they are on the Internet, so maybe this is an illusion (or maybe the reverse is true and the Internet personae are illusions..) but when I spend time at some sort of “nerdy” even such as a fencing tournament or a renaissance fair, I tend to soften in my misanthropy.

I wonder what this phenomena is and if I can trust it.
