[@jackdanielson1997]

Hey guy, please less hand-talking. Highly distracting, thanks

[@r34ct4]

Pretty sure it's done on purpose to keep our attention. Someone probably thought it was a genius idea, too.

[@jackdanielson1997]

@@r34ct4 Yeah, who knows whether deliberate or not, but unsettling to me regardless hah

My hands are my hands, and I'll forever talk with them. It's something I've worked on settling down, but to limited success
