She asked me once how often I think about the roman empire, and now I can't stop thinking about it. How does that even work?!?!

Don’t think about gay midgets

Try having OCD. The more you don't think about a thing the more you think about it. Because thoughts care fuck all for your own free will. You'll think what brain wants you to think and you will be happy and ask, can I have some more sir!?
That's why I only trust brains so far. They literally make it all up.
Heck colors aren't even real but is just a visual representation of a photon's wavelength that the brain represents as color XYZ.
