What's your take? You should constantly be reinventing yourself to find out what iteration of yourself is the best, but don't try and be evil. worse% agree. It's tempting. Have you ever been evil, Rachel? Yeah. Of course. Sometimes, you just have to. You're not taking the advice of your take. You can test it out, but just know you shouldn't land on it for good. I don't think you wanna test it out because you get lost in the sauce. Like, I've been evil Korean. But it got you where you are today. And honestly That's not no. That's not what tier me here. Okay. Being good got you here. Yes. Being a good boy. Okay. Good. I'll be good. When's the last time you reinvented yourself? I would say today I'm wearing a long skirt. I don't usually do that, but feels kind of interesting. There's a new kind of breeze going on. Today, I'm not wearing an a shirt. I just have chest hair. Chest out. Tits out. Yeah. I just found a hair on my chest that was two inches long. It was literally like a spider's web and it really moved me. I kept it like a a good luck charm. Do you think people should reinvent their personalities or just tier, like, outfits? Everything. Try a new good, get a new car, try out new outfits, see if you're, like, a different kind of girl. Like, maybe I should wear more sunglasses or something. Alright. I'll try more sunglasses. Rank you. Thank you.
