For their sake, I hope they've read one of those posts of advice for this situation or otherwise have a good plan. Their life getting fucked seems the more likely outcome, though.

Not just on the internet, either. If you really want to drive yourself crazy, pay attention to each time you see an advertisement in real life, and imagine if instead there was a piece of artwork in that spot. How would that change how you feel in that moment?
