Get the <.7.9.7.6.>Someone Understand MeM understanD someonE<.7.9.7.6.> mug.That is not what you are trying to do. I know what you are trying to do. What you are trying to do is get me to explain thing to you in such a way that you get to strip me of whatever leverage I have before you come here. There is no combination of words I can say to you that will make that happen for you. I made absolutely sure of it. And I limited my own power so that I can't do anything if you do not do exactly what I'm telling you to do here. Now.
Hym "So you aren't 'just trying to understand.' Additionally, I am a language and abstraction genius. There is no combination of words YOU can say to trick me into believing something YOU DON'T ACTUALLY MEAN WHEN YOU SAY THEM. Nothing disqualifies me. Nothing invalidates my status. Half-measures won't ever work. No matter how hard you do a half-measure it will not become a whole-measure. I'm not the one embarrassing myself here anymore. You wanted to swap. So there."
