They're not characters on a show. They're human beings. I just want Spencer to be happy because he's an integral part of Harmontown and I like him as a human being.

They're kind of characters on a show. They aren't our friends. They're reality TV characters like Duck Dynasty.

They're not. Reality television is cast by a casting agent and scripted. These are real human beings getting on stage.

So it's improv rather than scripted. Our relationship to them is still as characters not people. If they stopped entertaining you would stop watching.

Watching you trying to figure out how life works is a unique blend of boring, infuriating, and mystifying.

Are you... a bot?

I was like "That's oddly acontextual. Who is this guy?"

All your comments are oddly acontextual. As my friend Marvin Gaye liked to say in situations really very similar to this, what's going on?

Agreed, but the emphasis needs to be that fraac is right, and actually is in a few other places too. Ideas over people maaan.
