I nuke accounts on "purpose". and it saves my real one.
Not for clout. Not for thrill (thats a full blown lie. its fun as hell)
For post-nut clarity. Because when emotion is purged, discipline can breathe.
its a dopamine exhaust mechanism. a sandbox where you allow the compulsive self to burn itself out, so the strategic self can breathe.
