Why can’t we have cool things once in a while ?

I just typed up a funny comedic reply. Then I read it back, and it came off wayyyyy too aggressive. It came off like I was just being an asshole for no reason. So I deleted it, and tried to workshop it. I wanted something that I could say mean spirited things, in a joking way, but it came off waaaaay more mean than it should have been.

So instead, imagine I sent a reply, where I was mean, but you could tell I was joking about the fact that we can't have nice things because we're all plebs, and not the billionaire ruling class. And then we'd laugh while giving them the finger.

Ok, all caught up? Cool. Back to work, dickhead!

Given this all happening in Texas, I'm not surprised.

Two places you don't accept holding court: London and Texas.
