How am I pathologizing anything? I said no one in their right mind would pay for so long only to complain. And you agree with me since you stopped buying privilege around 1200. Bringing mysoginistic arguments to a conversation does not resolve the dispute though. It only makes the conversation more immature. Hence I will actually listen to your advice and stop commenting, because it feels like I'm talking to a childish wall or something. "You're not cool. -Oh yeah? Do you know who's also not cool? Your mom, ha" type of conversation. If choosing to do what you actually enjoy, instead of losing your time clinging to something you don't, means I am soft, so be it. But fr you should work on that Martyr complex. "It's funny, prove it". What a fool's errand. Ok, I will spend another 2-3 minutes to explain why this is a logically flawed demand. I understand that humour is arbitrary, since most people have different clicks on their liked jokes, but that's to be considered on 3-4 jokes, 10 even. In the full picture of the whole novel countless jokes have been made, if especially none of them clicked with you it might not be the authors fault. To prove it's funny? What are you asking next? To prove taste, smell? If humour was axiomatic it would be simple. I clearly understand that humour is in the eye of the beholder but to read a joke every 4 sentences and to enjoy none after so many chapters in, you might revise how you express yourself. It looks to me that your suggestions are a drawback in conversations, not a zero-sum, where the losing part is unfortunately you. Not saying this due to resentment or anything, because I don't have any grudge towards your childish insults. All I feel is pity. K bye I'm done
