That it was meant to be :comfy: . That the laugh track was a form of interpassivity.

I suppose that's true for other people, but for me it's not comfortable; it's grating to me. I got a tiny mental drain instead of a recharge.

It is my opinion that the one of the reasons podcasts blew up is because it has that same interpassvity.

I guess it checks out for me that I hate podcasts and find them unbearable to listen to.
