A lot of people wanting to burn the house down.
Me: maybe threatening to burn it down instead would be far more productive for real goals.
Them: naaaw let& #39;s just burn it down.
Me: do you know why the house was built in the first place?
Them: who cares https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oL-dBxvPiw">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Me: maybe you should understand the house a bit better before saying burn it all down.
Them: naw I don& #39;t have to, & Twitter is so limiting, & you can& #39;t stop me.
Me: I have zero problems explaining on Twitter why your thinking is wonky & counter-productive.
Them: {not listening}
Me: This house was built to keep rain off. It works by people living in it warning if a roof corner starts letting rain in.
Them: we paid for most of it, and we can burn it down if we like.
Me: so you did, & so you can. But you need that roof.
Them: wut. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiT0mUDCRMU">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Me: that roof helps keep rain off Y& #39;ALL.
Them: LOOK you IDIOT there& #39;s rain coming in because Smith lied & didn& #39;t catch the leak in time.
Me: you srsly don& #39;t want to see how much rain& #39;s gonna come in without that roof at all, without that advance warning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zwBHd4kll0">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Me: look, roof helps you, others living under the same roof tell you in advance of coming rainstorms, leaks & so on.
Them: yeah but Smith lied.
Me: fine, beat up on Smith, y not, but we all need that roof.
Them: 60& #39;s 3-fingered salute, Burn, Baby, Burn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca91jzdJYY0">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Me: what will you do when the next monsoon comes, where& #39;s your early-warning then.
Them: who cares, we can have Our Own Roof.
Me: no, you really can& #39;t. That& #39;s the whole point of early-warning roofs. Think of it as NORAD against rain.
Them: wut.
Me: when a monsoon blows up in the east, great to have early-warning system in place so you can shore up your own section of the roof over you in time, before the storm hits.
Them: BURN. Also I don& #39;t have to do what you say, not my job.
Me: maybe STFU before chanting "Burn!" then
Them: how very dare you say STFU to me.
Me: try a tiny bit of thinking first.
GK Chesterton & @didymus77: look, before anyone starts burning things, maybe get a grip why it was there in the first place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOu9N6DUEZw">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Me: what happens when next pandemic starts in some obscure place.
Them: who cares, we& #39;ll just flame on Twitter, demand the manager DO something.
Also them: & we& #39;ll build a system ourselves. After defunding our own govt & systems.
Me: oh I know THAT song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHhrZgojY1Q">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
