    After a couple of bad questions, I’ll either excuse myself, suggest we carry on separately, or (ideally) ask to be sent a list, for me to ignore at my leisure.

    Sorry Greg, we’re not here to answer your dumbass questions, or indulge your hypothetical edge cases.

      It’s always hypothetical rabbit holes 🙄

      They think they’re like Doctor Strange trying to map out every conceivable future

        … which somehow prepares you for EVERYTHING that doesn’t happen, and nothing that actually does.

          Oh wow, thank you. For some reason this statement hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve got bad anxiety/worry issues and I tend to think about all the worst case scenarios. Everything feels like the end of the world to me, thanks persistent depression. But this put a lot into perspective for me. I’m going to use this statement as a tool when I feel myself spiraling with worry. Much appreciated!
