Drop-down prompt
I don't was to join your shitty newsletter you dumb motherfucker! If I wanted to join I would open the menu manually and sign up for it!
Hym "But no! You had to try and force it on me and now my phone is frozen! I can't read the article anymore and I have to close my app. Which means it's going to refresh my page! Which means I now have to go find your shitty article. Which I'm not going to do."
Iam "Hey, that's vaguely analogous to our situation. People trying to force information on us that we don't want. *Sigh* 😩 Just stop trying to force your drop-down prompt on my please. My phone sucks..."

Rough
That... Uh, yeah... That is rough. I don't take pleasure that. 😖+🤦+🤏 I just want out if the cage. Jesus Christ...
Iam "Oh man... 😖+🤦+🤏"
Hym "You have to know (by now) what I'm going to say right?"
Iam "Holy shit man. That is rough. I hope that's not us."
Hym "No. It isn't us. Why are you so desperate to do this to us? Huh? Is it better than just letting me out and leaving me alone? Giving me my fair share and going on with your life? No. Because me losing is all that matters. You don't want to have to give up your invisible weapon. 'We reserve our right to wield this against you until the day you die' Well, how's that working for you?"
Iam *sigh* "Why? I just don't understand... You have to see how messed up that is, don't you?"
Hym "There is no 'why.' They're just doing it to do it at this point. You don't have the right. Just give it up."

Point
Not the point.
Ultra Reality
Hym "Ok, that's not what I meant by 'hyper reality.' What I meant was the reality you experience as you're actively being stabbed to death or as you're falling off a bridge. My thing is better. We'll call it 'Ultra Reality' or maybe 'Maximum Over-Reality.' "

Consciousness
And, again, does MY consciousness play a role in the selection? Or is it just hypergamy and evolutionary biology? Asking for a friend.
Hym "Does evolutionary biology select for consciousness? Noooo. No it doesn't. I've heard you recite it so many times. Didn't ONCE mention consciousness. So, consciousness isn't what's being selected but it IS what does the selecting? If I recall MY position was that consciousness should matter. That's MY position. Not yours. It doesn't. It's not a factor. Does it bother you being wrong all the time?"

Hostility
It's largely performative.
Hym "The hostility is a direct response to the thing you're doing. It isn't a hostage situation. If I put a gun to somebody's head told you to spin around and clap your hands 3 times; you would just do it. It takes nothing for you to tell the truth. I'm illustrating a point. You're doing what you're doing because you are counting on me being subject to some sort of morality that you are ALSO claiming that I don't have AND my lack of this morality is justification for doing what you're doing. You don't see that? Which is why the exploitation question is stupid. I can do the same thing. Look, 'If you love kids so much why are you trying to provoke me into killing them? If you cared about kids you wouldn't be doing this to me.' See how that works? See how that isn't the gotcha moment you think it is? You're just being a piss-pants because I said your thing doesn't work as well a 7 iron. Which it doesn't. Much to David's chagrin, if a woman likes smoking weed and they like fat cocks; they are going to choose the guy with the fat cock smoking weed in his mother's basement 100% of the time. So, if you entirely omit this statistical reality then sure. If you omit all of the information that PROVES THAT I AM RIGHT, then yeah your thing is fine. Do you see how that works? Quit being a piss-pants. You're in your feelings more than the people actually involved. And don't humanize yourself. It's gross."
Trash bags
Hym "Ok, I'll stop 😆"
Iam "Hey, where did all our trash bags go?"
Hym "Huh? I donno."
Iam "We had 2 almost full boxes."
Hym "I bet those bastards who cam over stole them."
Iam "No way? Would they seriously do something like that?"
Hym "What is with people stealing our shit all the time!? We can't catch a break!"
Iam "Seriously, who does that!?"
