i’ve met this dude irl, he used to shop at the computer store i worked at. wore a timecube hat but i never asked for details because i can recognize mental health issues
Just cos someone is missing an arm is no reason not to ask them to go for a walk
Mental health issues can often be unpredictable and dangerous. A missing arm is almost never a sign of danger.

A missing arm could be the result of many things, birth defect, boating accident, or dangerous behavior, but is not a commonly accept indication of danger to self or others.

Mental illness is.

It's a sign they might have previously engaged in dangerous activities, maybe they learned from it and have an interesting story to boot.
I remember reading about this on SA a long time ago, but never really followed up on it. It wasn't until I saw the Down the Rabbit Hole video years later that I realized how tragic this guy's life was. It's sad, but I would be lying if I said I didn't get some amusement reading his hypothesis.
Did whoever mirrored the site run s/kill/kiss? Really obscures Gene's true message I think.
Looks like it. How unfun.
