      Had this issue recently.

      “Vanilla is good.”

      “What? No, chocolate is good.”

      “Both can be good. There doesn’t have to be a competition.”

      “NO! Either chocolate is good or you hate chocolate!”

      It is waay too accurate.

      <rant> In this land, in this time, people look for conflict. Even the most minor incident can bring you into trouble. People try to see that most unfavorable interpretation in anything. People truly express their demise and depression in the most crude of ways imaginable. </rant>

        What are you talking about?! You’re just wrong! Minor incidents don’t magically get people in trouble. They’re bad people to the core. We want to take them down because it’s the right thing to do. ~<In case it’s not obvious I was trying to be sarcastic>~

                    it’s not a myth though. people in the medieval ages weren’t working around the clock. When the cow is milked and the eggs are collected, people largely didn’t have much to do outside of harvest season, where it actually was working around the clock.

        it has nothing to do with being dumb. people can be extremely dumb and still be friendly. this is just behavior that’s looking for a fight.

          Being friendly and making illogical assumptions about statements are largely unrelated things.

          Taking someone in good faith does not imply words and especially phrasing will be correctly interpreted.

          One could argue that dumb implies lower taste. A smarty seeks conversation, a dummy seeks fights. Consider popular videogames.

            i think what you call “dumb” is what i call “angry”. people today are hella angry, yeah. which i guess is a particular thing of modern times and used to be different in the medieval ages, say. anger is not the normal state of humans in general. people nowadays are angry about a lot of things because of stimulus overload, IMHO.
