Using the word lazy itself is
recursively lazy.
As someone who does struggle with consistency in just about everything I do, I've certainly heard it said about me by neurotypical people who've never had to overthink their actuals due to crippling perfectionism, who've never experienced the absolutely miserable feeling that mundane tasks can trigger, especially when not medicated, who don't know just how genuine my (very late in life) diagnosis is.
Ruzicka is an idiot for not only doing hard drugs but posting them online. No doubt.
But no one knows exactly what is going on in his head or body when he's on the ice. I am just disappointed because the guy in early 2022-23 who was playing on a line with Lindholm and Toffoli didn't just look like he belonged in the NHL, but was actually the straw that was stirring the drink with those two.
