No, I don't got you.

I don't hate you. I don't hate GS.

I don't really care whether you got marching orders or not.

I'm not a bigot.

I just disagree, and I think it really weird that the Left moves in lockstep with the buzzwords.

You have created this figure you call “the Left.” And on this figure you place all of the disavowed parts of yourself.

It’s ok. There is help for you.

I know it's okay.

I know there is help for me.

I know you know me so well.

Do you know there's no such thing as deliberate passive aggression?

Now to your substance:

When I say "the Left," ykwim, imo.

What does ykwim mean? Not being a smartass, just curious. I do know imo.

You know what I mean.

It's usually "iykwim," kwim?

And if I'm trying to reach the kids, I edge it up thusly, "ukwim".

I'm wordy by nature, so it makes me pithier.

Then you need to wear a pith helmet.

Wait, wait.

If I am being pithy, isn't it *you* who needs the protection?

Love the new tech, but I can't shake my boomer skepticism, so send me one of those new-fangled pith hats, and when it works, I'll send you a pithy pile of pesos.

Trust me.

It plugs in to 110 VAC, right? Or will I need an adapter?

Thanks, man. I haven't seen pithier in a good while; nice.

You have to figure this out on your own or with a professional. It is not enough for someone to simply point out your fetish.

I know these concepts are difficult but keep up the effort.

2.4/10 for snark.

0.0/10 for substance.
