SFF is like a drug. Once got addicted, it is hard to shake it off.
It is like alcohol. No Alcoholics Anonymous club can help you.
It is like a virus. No vaccine can cure you. And, once contracted, it is not life threatening but usually your wallet will suffer. The good thing is, you will get life-long immunity from humongous ATX stuff.
hah i explained it to my wife as “it’s like ultralight backpacking community” and she said at least i’m consistent. i’m more worried for my knuckles than my wallet tbh
