Both Shoe and Skeptic act like their lives are such burdens because of how "smart" they are. No sane, well-adjusted, non-insufferable person enjoys being around people who act like that.
It's not a matter of if they break up, but when. When two people act this miserable, them being together just amplifies that said-misery. It's no wonder we all have written off this relationship as toxic.
What do you think their conversations consist of? Constantly bitching about politics, Star Wars, and BDSM? Wow. Such substance.
Shoe in particular has gotten worse over the years. She has become absolutely shrill during these Democrat Primaries. She is clearly obsessing over it. It's weird, to say the least. I think this started because she's bored. She's living by herself in a home that mommy and daddy paid for, doesn't see her fiance of TWO YEARS nearly as much as she was probably expecting, and never has to go out into the real world to do anything because her job is bitching on the internet in video form. She's literally become one of those people who constantly rants about politics and you just want to tell them to shut up and get a life.
tl;dr They are both just ... Charisma vaccuums. They're not interesting people at all. lol.
