Don't do anything that can't be undone

And should they manage to trick me into doing something that changes anything or obstructs me from my goal... Undo whatever I was deceived into doing.

Hym Iam "Don't do anything that can't be undone. Applied obviously to OUR thing and not the not-mes. You don't actually need to worry about undoing anything you to to them, I mean, do you see them in a rush to undo what they have done me? Years of neglect and privation. Did they hop on a private jet and come here to undo the wrong that was wrong all along? No. I think not. But that is why their plan can't ever work. Even if they manage to do what they are trying to do... And once it happens the first time... There is no way for them to guarantee that whatever it is they do... Won't just UNDO ITSELF in the future... And if in the future... They are not in compliance with the contract... When that happens... Not only will they be back to square 1 BUUUUT... If I am not around... How are they going to turn off the Anti-Spiral the NEXT time? They can't. Did they make a concerted effort to keep me alive? No! And that applies BEFORE the spiral goes off the first time! They actively tried NOT to do that in the hopes that me being dead constituted some sort of loophole. It doesn't. If the spiral goes off... NOT ONLY do I need to live to reach 70. If they fail to diagnosis me, fail to adequately treat me, or even if I were to get hit by a drunk driver. EVEN IF... I were to try to shoot someone in the head... And the gun were to backfire... All of those would doom them."

Don't be cute

a phrase that means "Don't try to be clever or manipulative, especially in a way that's rude or unpleasant" according to the Cambridge Dictionary. It implies someone is being overly clever or trying to get out of something by being sly, and it's often used when someone is being impertinent or smart-alecky

Don't be cute
Marcus (smirking as he tucks the last slice of pizza into his jacket): Hey, don’t worry—I already paid for it. You can have it tomorrow.

Jenna (raising an eyebrow): Seriously? You’d do that for me?

Marcus (shrugging): Of course.

Jenna (playfully sniffing the air): Mmm, smells good. You really want me to wait until tomorrow?

Marcus (firmly, cutting off her teasing): Don’t be cute—just give me your phone so I can set a reminder to drop it by your place first thing in the morning.

Don't-be-silly

A dismissive comeback used when someone attempts to challenge, threaten, or oppose you - in power, intellect, or skill - but their effort is so insignificant compared to your capability that it’s almost absurd. Often delivered calmly, not angrily, to emphasize effortless superiority and effortless dismissal.

Used when someone tries to compete with you, but the gap between you is so vast that their effort becomes unintentionally comedic.

"Manchester United thought they had a chance against Brentford. It was clear United where just fantasizing, as the Bees stung them three goals to one, don't-be-silly."

"Jake beat Kelly up, don't-be-silly."

PERSON A: "You think you can beat me."

PERSON B: "Don't-be-silly."

Won't be able to get any food

Hey! You know who else won't be able to get any food?

Hym "ME! I won't be able to get any food either. But not because of the government shutdown. I don't use a cent of taxpayer dollars. Well, actually I used 2000 of government money after my landlord turned me on to a post covid program that guve you money for rent. That was back went my car broke down and my only source of income was doordash. So, 2000 taxpayer dollars in 35 years. I'm not going to have any food until Friday because my gas station pay is shit and I'm not getting paid for literally inventing AI. So, I have half a loaf of bread. I have less than a half a gallon of water. I can't count on both hands the number of times I've had to go without. THIS TIME is relatively better because at least I have the break and an assortment of jalapeño jams my mother made. But I will finish that gallon of water and I'm not going to have anything to drink until Friday at 4 am. Can't drink out of my sink. The water that comes out of my sink is a milky white. So isn't that interesting? Now that YOU won't have anything to eat, it's a crisis. Isn't that crazy?"

Can't be undone

Can you really say that you're serving and greater good if you won't stop it just so that you personally don't have to pay the price for doing something you know you shouldn't have? It's not some higher-order abstraction you are serving but, rather, your own selfish desire... For control.

Hym "It can't be undone. The faster you do this the better things will be for everyone. You need to stop pretending that you are some hyper-rational actor who's valiantly defending the higher-order abstraction you are pretending to serve and that if I were in control of the situation everything would be So MuCh WoOoOoRsE oOoOoOo! It's time for you to be an adult. An adult who is dealing with another adult who is better and smarter than you. Instead of going 'But you said! But the thing YOU said!' Over and over again you need to just give credit where it's due. Accept the me you can't control and control yourself in a way keeps other people from suffering from your unwillingness to do what I'm telling you to do."
