You’re entitled to quite a lot. It is those delightful moments, enjoyed quietly and within one’s own head out of common courtesy, that make all of life’s problems worth it. There are few feelings as remotely good as that one, and we’d all feel better admitting it to ourselves. Doesn’t speak to caring.

They’ll listen to you next time, won’t they?

Obviously not.

The weird thing about having been on the internet so long is how nobody listens any more - for any idea, no matter how bad, you can find a community built around it, defending it against outsiders. A million micro-cults.

It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't serious negative externalities to the rest of us from this.

No, but they won’t have the capital to spawn another drain on our economy either.
