My goodness, you're right! Thank you for enlightening us poor, confused
morons who thought we were having fun. I'm sorry we wasted some of your
precious time by existing. Perhaps you, with your great wisdom, can tell
us how we can best spend every waking moment making the world a better
place the way you do. Does "better things to do with our time" mean writing
notes telling people how stupid they are for doing anything you don't like
instead of doing "better things with their time", such as writing notes
that (etc.)?
