Yeah, the site also freezes my Firefox for 5 seconds, and this is from a gaming PC. Absolutely horrendous...

How hard you would actually have to try to make a website as horrible as this, this thing is just a meme.

For all that lag, I was expecting a lot more than some simple animations. And that scrolljacking is by far the worst I've ever experienced. I have to scroll three times to switch to the next section. Can't even manually drag the little scrollspy thing. Atrocious.
