The line before is also great. They suspect. They hope they are wrong, but they suspect, and have to ask.

Things like this are often a protest by the builders against the architect. They spot a problem with the design, try and tell them and get shouted at. They then build it to the design, knowing it's stupid, so the architect has to swallow the cost of fixing it.
It was first found in monkeys, but actually originated in rodents. It should technically be rodentpox.
Also, racists and homophobes used it to create stigma against gay men. In was/is particularly prevalent in that group. There were rumours that you caught it from sex with monkeys.
Basically it was renamed to pull the teeth of a nasty and insulting use, and to break a misunderstanding on its source.
DSP is definitely a game that uses player feedback well. The end bit that amounts to "we've ran out of testing setups and need some help. Who wants to play with the multi threading settings and give us some more data to work with?".
Might I introduce you to the wonder of reusable cable ties?
They have a release tab. You can undo them, adjust the cables, then retighten them.
Velcro is great, till it starts losing it's grip.
Circadian rhythm maintenance.
Melatonin is broken down in the eye by blueish light. When this stops, the melatonin levels begin to climb, leading to tiredness.
This is also why phones etc keep you awake.
There are cops outside America too. Some of them are quite decent people, as well as good police officers.
America's cop problem is fixable. It just requires Americans to fix it.
I think, therefore I am. Everything else is open to flux.
If it helps, I've consciously made the choice to see the world as it appears to be. To interact with others, as if they truly exist. I've also made the choice to anchor my own morals in my own mental framework. I'm kind to others because I feel good seeing others happy. I try and make the world better, in small ways, because I want other to do the same, and don't want to feel hypocritical.
It still unnerves me sometimes. I could turn off a lot of those feelings. I could easily make myself see others as lower, or lesser. Less worthy of happiness than me.
If the whole world is a simulation, then I deal with it as it comes. The same applies to religion.
FYI, there's some (very weak) evidence that 3D space might actually be holographic projection from a 2D surface. If we are in a simulation, we are likely all in it together. At least we get to pick at the seams. It might even be stressing out a few higher dimensional post-grad students!
Ironically, this is (partially) why government social support services originally started in England. Back in the Victorian period, the rich realised it was cheaper to pay a bit more tax to keep the poor fed, than pay for security to stop them being robbed. It was also cheaper than locking them all up.
It even explains why the agents can jump between people. They are already running on their brains.

This might sound pedantic, but actually makes a big difference, mentally.
Introvert refers more to how you mentally recharge, rather than interactions. An introvert requires time alone to recharge, an extrovert needs time around people. Your more likely socially anxious, and possibly mentally underdeveloped for socialising.
By locking down where the problem actually is, it helps you figure out how to counter it. Social anxiety is quite common, with viable treatment methods. Social skills are learnt. You get them by practice. It's a problem that is common for autistics, so the info from those corners of the internet could be helpful, even if you aren't autistic.
