I must not dunk.
Dunks are the time-killer
Dunks are the little stress that bring on social alienation
I will ignore bad takes
I will allow them to pass, or block them
And when they are off my feed I will read things that matter
And where the takes have gone there will be nothing
Only I will remain

Yep, I'm here to protect my peace. I will not fight random people on the internet.
I know temptation and old habits call us, but remember friends: when an anon rando with no platform has a weird bad take
You can just block them
I know, the optimists amongst us think that surely a person wearing the trappings of reason can be reasoned with
Don't do it
Be free
