At the same time I feel like saying “We all know he can handle it” is a little much. The reason I watch NL is that he seems like a real guy with real takes, if he actually is developing some kind of chat dependency he should get help and not just get fed by our perception of his capability.

@@mrpseudonym893 Yes, absolutely agree. I just felt myself getting a little "too real" but even then he himself has always shown himself as being confident enough to at least provide for his family, no matter ups and downs. Like just look at how many times he's gotten sick the past few years, for example. He's a fucking champion. BUT yes at the end of the day he's a normal person like any one of us and if these "withdrawals" are recurring and rough (as it sounds) he might benefit from seeking help. But if he's fine without it then that's great too. I just wanna see egg and his family and friends happy, at the end of the day.

NL meeting up with Arex, the only (bald) man in Japan that could have possibly understood his struggles.
When I went to Japan I wanted to try Kobe beef with my partner. I know very broken Japanese and when in doubt just say “Hai” (Yes) in Japanese because it usually works out (I.e. do you want a bag? Do you want the English menu?) At the restaurant the chief asked me a bunch of questions to which I said yes to all of them. Suddenly, the chief puts a giant flag and and toy cow on my table that reads “MUSLIM FRIENDLY” as it appears I said “yes, I am in fact Muslim and would like the halal menu” He was very proud and I paid an extra $40 for blessed meat.

the real vacation was the existential dread we felt along the way

Omg he admit it Also that ego birth story is hilarious. Glad I can listen to his rambling while I work again lmao
The hooves bit fucking killed me
Hes not emotionally dependent on chat LOL its just really exhausting and alienating to spend weeks in a place where you can't communicate with anybody. I've done it and even though i speak the local language far better than NL does, i still know what he means. Everyone is just enjoying conversation without you all the time and you feel stupid & unwanted for not being able to follow along. You also regularly experience some actual discrimination which just makes it even more of a downer.
I do find it really weird that he feels like a bad person for not knowing or attempting to learn the native language of a country he is visiting for 2 weeks. Ive worked in tourism in New Zealand. So many people dont speak english, its fine, they are just visiting. Having people attempt to speak english is cool even if they suck at it and if even its like the 20th time that day someone hasnt spoken english to me. I dont think anybody actually expects tourists to be able to speak the language of every country they visit. The language barrier is part of travel
I wholeheartedly adore how much the role of a modern interweb jester has encased and cocooned him that mere weeks of going outside is enough to trigger a Paul Atreides-Lisan Al Gaib level of Ascension that generates wisdoms aplenty that he bottles up and release to guide the Stilgar in all of us, while we look up the sun set as pepe via twitch emote and being :aware:
