(Both characters are fictional, loosely inspired by various traits from various real people. Be careful about combining kratom and alcohol.)

This was a nice read but I don't have the slightest clue what "Goal-factored the idea of "guilty pleasures". Now loves speedrunning unabashedly" means

They used to consider speedrunning games a guilty pleasure, but after goal-factoring their supposed guilty pleasure concludes that the guilt doesn't align with their actual goals and values and feeling bad about enjoying speedrunning doesn't really serve any productive purpose, so now they enjoy speedrunning unabashedly.

And "goal factoring [? · GW]" is a technique for figuring out what you actually want and different ways to get there.
