Practice threading for Distant Skies!

I'll not waste my breath pointing out the utter idiocy of your plans to join this game; such words are, to my way of thinking, trite by virtue of their inevitability. Yes, you - like nearly everyone else - have comparatively limited time. And, of course, you wish to play the martyr over this, agonize and complain, so that others will know just how busy and important you are. I'm not going to enable such self-indulgent behavior.

Rather, I'll merely tell you this: if you think you're so utterly and terribly busy, if you think that you've so little time, then don't waste it further with whining. Instead, make it count. I've no use for someone who will dither rather than be a productive member of society.

...Is everything okay?

[jurisimpudent]

Of course it is! Why is it any concern of yours?

[motioned]

I just wanted to make sure you were okay, jeez!

[jurisimpudent]

That sort of thing isn't necessarily. I'll be "fine" regardless.

[motioned]

You don't have to get all angry!

[jurisimpudent]

I'm not angry!

[motioned]

Then stop sounding like it!

[jurisimpudent]

I don't sound like it! Stop projecting.

[motioned]

Projecting what?

[jurisimpudent]

Your - assumptions.

[motioned]

I'm not assuming you sounded angry, I heard you and you did!

[jurisimpudent]

Well, I wasn't! I don't get angry.

[motioned]

Everyone gets angry.

[jurisimpudent]

I don't.

[motioned]

You're part of everyone!

[jurisimpudent]

Ergo, your assumption is wrong.

[motioned]

If you're part of everyone and everyone gets angry, that means you get angry!

[jurisimpudent]

Your assumption that "everyone gets angry" is wrong.

[motioned]

It happens to everybody sometime!

[jurisimpudent]

Prove it.

[motioned]

You just got angry a minute ago! You prove that not everybody does!

[jurisimpudent]

I didn't get angry. And you can't prove a negative. That's a logical fallacy.

[motioned]

Well neither of us know everyone on the planet, so neither of us know for sure, but I know that you were angry, no matter how many big words you use!

[jurisimpudent]

I was miffed. And nothing more!

[motioned]

That's another word for angry, isn't it?
