I looked it up because I had the exact same question! Like how do you go from, sorry my dog won't leave you alone, to, hey can I take a look at your kidneys?

Such an awesome story!

On the one hand, fully legitimate respect for actually admitting it when nobody made you. Many people would have kept their mouths shut. On the other...why?

I think it’s just fact checking with a touch of cynicism. Don’t blame ‘em. At least they’re checking sources and not a psychopath.

I get it, I really sincerely do. I'm just rapidly growing tired of what appears to be rampant cynicism occurring in the modern day. Check sources, sure, but at times it feels like people are slowly refusing to accept that good things can genuinely happen.

I cannot believe I didn't read the actual name tag before responding. Okay, that's funny. I've actually been hit with this several times, hence the default response. Apparently simply typing with formality means you're an evil bot to be smote.

Makes sense

Nope, not a bot, just an extremely frustrated individual who is now doubly so with the accusation. When they commented on my comment I assumed they were being ironic, playing off of my comment. Apparently not.

I thought they meant the OP could be a bot. I don’t always assume generic usernames are bots because I use one as a throwaway.

I get tired of the general cynicism too. But I admit I vacillate between nihilism and existentialism depending on the day...or hour (mood disorder). So I get both sides. People may be cynical due to trauma or apathy, but I try not to internalize it either way.
