        Hey, not knowing something isn’t wrong. It isn’t illiteracy to not have read whatever that is related to, remember the xkcd comic on today’s 10,000. I also only read the quote on lemmy.

        Now their response is not the best of course.

              I was called Satan and psychotic while still calmly explaining the source of the quote.

              Then called psychotic again.

              Idgaf if you can’t understand or what you think but I feel fine calling him an illiterate crybaby asshole.
