The world looks normal until it absolutely doesn’t. One minute you’re creeping through downtown traffic like a civilized adult, the next a grown man on a rental scooter is screaming at you in Chelsea boots before punching your window like he’s auditioning for a fight scene. That’s 2025. Everyone’s playing different games.
