You are me.

I play shitty passive-aggressive mindgames. When I bleed, scorpions and stinging-flies spawn from the puddles.

The artist is smarter than you.

The earthworm considers the hawk to be vile.

The hawk is a terrible digger and crawler. The hawk can’t appreciate composted vegetable scraps. Those big flappy wings and dangling claws, so ugly.

My point is, the world is large and you are small. So be humble, you are probably wrong about everything.

A sacrifice is something you like and want to keep, but you’re going to give it up for a higher good.

If I address every silly claim I’ll be here all day.

Advertising is a method of persuasion.

It’s as old as civilization.

We advertise for various reasons, selling products is just one of them.

And yes, over time, we have developed new advertising techniques.

A body of techniques is what’s referred to as a “technology”.

I’m just rephrasing it to frame it as a command. That’s basically what a rule is. A command. A rule has imperativeness.

“Don’t make me ban you!” Isn’t a rule.

A rule would be “don’t say anything I dislike”

If you intend to wax pedantic then at least give us your definition. This secondhand linked pedantry crosses the line.
