Perfect design my ass

For the longest time, especially after being full-time employed, I noticed that on weekends I'd often get a headache, mostly on Saturdays. I shrugged it off as me not drinking enough water, because I usually don't, and would solve it by some ibuprofen.
My headaches are mostly mild but relatively frequent, same as my mother has them. Sometimes I'd get a worse one-not quite a migraine, but pretty bad, for example if I stayed too long with my eyes glued to a screen or slept in a weird position. Last Saturday was one of the worst ones. At first, I thought I wouldn't pill myself and would let the pain ease on its own. Bad idea, because 90% of my headaches don't go away unless I take a pill or go to sleep. Well, after some time it got to the point it was bad enough that I had to take a pill, but now I'd be fucked by this worsening headache until the pill took effect.
So, in my semi-disabled state, I went to the internet, typing into Kagi "headaches on weekends." Lo and behold, weekend headaches seem to be a thing, like you can get one because cortisol levels are lower than usual, among other things. So you get a headache because you are less stressed. Wonderful. While relieved that others have similar symptoms, I was cursing my existence that something like this can exist.
And then I remembered that some religious people think that the human body has the perfect designTM and it melted my brain that a supposedly perfect design can mean you get headaches when you are less stressed. I ain't no God, but this makes no fucking sense in Hell. My honest expression was something like this:
Anyway, in the end the pill started taking effect, and I started being less hateful towards the Universe.
